PROLOGUE:
Before talking about the movie I want to say that I must admit I was quite desperate for the realease of this movie since it was announced.. even before that when I heard the rumors and the change of hte scripts etc. I always loved the indiana jones trilogy. Since a little kid my dad let me see Raiders of the lost ark and temple of doom every day, so I grew up with that (along with Conan and star wars, althoug can't wait for King Conan to be released). Besides that, Indiana JOnes and the Last Crusade, I think it was the last movie I saw with my dad before he died 2 years later. I consider Indiana Jones its a great movie series.. and also have some great sentimental value for me. Indiana JOnes is the true action adventure hero... he inspired so many games and movies... lets say movies like The Mummy, National Treasure, many more advanture movies have clear resemplance to Indiana Jones, also games like Tomb Raider, God of War, Pitfall, and many more... have their action and puzzles straight out of Indiana Jones. That means its a classic... its a stepping stone for every action adventure movie. Recently at work when they said we got the movie account for web publishing.. I WANTED THE PART, even thou I was working with something else I took my time to do a splash page (which I posted the link at the bottom of this post). I wanted to do the splash page and its funny because 20 years ago I would never imagined that I will have the opportunity in the future to work with the movie advertising for the web, so I added some extra elements. Not only that, because of the promotion we received a 7 foot tall poster of the movie.. and since it had a small tear it couldn't be given away to the public so my boss gave it to me! That was really cool from her, and not only that.. I got tickets for the premiere. So right now I just need Indiana JOnes toys.... and of course the trilogy in dvd since I lost the trilogy on VHS. OH fuck I am so excited.... so now read my half assed review... SEE THE MOVIE!
REVIEW:
GOT TO SEE INDIANA JONES tonight in the PREMIERE (which is 2 or 3 days earlier than USA). ALL I WANT TO SAY ITS A DAMN GOOD MOVIE. But to be realistic, I think Last Crusade and Raiders of the Lost Ark still can't be topped. I did liked Temple of Doom, but I think it was more obscure than the others. This movie is good but it wont be fair to compare it to the others from 20 years ago, for various factors,.. including that Indy is older now and they had to impress an already how can I say it..special fx hollywood spoiled audience?
But the movie its really good on its own purpose. It has good humor, action, some nostalgic moments, great characters and special Effects. But for some reason the movie didnt have that punch... for an example the bad guys didnt felt that intimidating... they actually felt dumb and harmless. So the movie at some points feels like... "so what are we suppose to do, who we running from" the y did exactly what the bad person wanted... all along. So Idont know... that part of the script felt a little vague. But besides that the movie is really entertaining, it was meant for all the public, I have to admit there is some slow parts... but is the scholastiv part that explains what are they looking for.. then straight to the action. If I had to compare the plot... it looked really familiar to Last Crusade... like these key elementes: add family factor, bad guy captures indy, indy helps bad guys, indy escapes with loot, bad guys try to keep up with indy to the final spot where bad guys catch up and then the tables turn; what they wanted is what kills them. Its a classic indy formula it happens in Last Crusade and Raiders of the lost ark... so no spoiler.. But yeah I think the movie is a success, it made people from this time to go back and see the old movies and see this one... and relive the joy... The characters (good ones) did an amazing job, maybe the female character overacted on some parts but fuck it. ITS GOOD.
I just said what I think of it, and yes I WILL SEE IT AGAIN AT THE THEATERS... I got luucky I got to see it on the PREMIERE since where I work they had some tickets for it so at the last minute I was granted 2 tickets. PRICELESS, literally. Go see this movie, I think Harrison ford did an amazing job, I think is the best Indy performance from all the movies... even thou I think Temple of Doom Indy ahd its moments, but still this Indy is more mature, more wise, and jsut.. INDY! Go see this movie.. its fucking great... The best summer movie so far! check the splash page I did here:

hey q cool tu pagina, mira la mia, me gusto mucho sigue asi mi amigo
The movie was fine but it was childish in so many...scenes.... i like better the old ones...plus the ideas and theory behind the story wount be appreciated while ppl continue to neglet Zacharias Sitching remarks on this topic. IT IS so obvious how consumed Lucas and Spilberg are drenched into this society of 12th planet writings that they even use it in all of their movies from indiana jones to starwars and the remake of war of the worlds. To me it is not original story but a remark to a BASED on true events from Sitching teachings therefor it will not be appreciated the right way since...NO ONE knows who Sitching is...... well i do....there for it will be just be indiana jones 4 and not a bow to many sitching teachings.
Secharian Zitching, Earth Chronicles, 12th planet, Lost Book of Enki (yes i have read them and im not in a mental hospital)...etc etc crystal skull not an original story telling with alot of blank spaces and unreal nuclear bullshit...i didnt liked the movie..sorry my friend.
