Up My Own Ass

Ok calm down, just breathe… that’s right, breathe. I went and saw Indiana Jones 4 opening night (I waited to post about it until now just to build suspense because you all hang on my every word) and it was… great.

ahhhh! Ok fine, I guess you are here for the long haul, anway…

Some folks didn’t like it as much as I did because of the whole “alien” premise and I can understand why, but the movie felt very Indiana-Jonesy.

I think the alien thing alienated (HAHAHA!!!! Suck on that dictionary) people that were used to the religious/relic undertones of the previous Indiana Jones series. And honestly, the alien thing isn’t explained very clearly at all in the movie… they are just hunting down this relic trying to figure out what the dillio is with it and it turns out to be an alien’s face… and it’s magnetized… and has psychic powers.

hmmm now that I think about it, the plot did sort of not make that much sense, unless this is a setup for more Indiana’s to come?

Harrison Ford did a great job, reprised the character perfectly, Shia Lebouf was a perfect addition to the team and the whole reunited-with-his-old-flame twist worked way better than I thought it would.

Overall I’d say a 8/10 if you are in a good mood, or a 7/10 if you go in expected to be dazzled and get your hopes all up.
