Ye Gods - a new Indiana Jones movie is out

[South Poll]

Hi all. Saw this last week here in Welly (with great anticipation as had worked on some props for it) and must say the FIRST act was GREAT! 100% Indy.....but found the second and particularly the third went a little off track for me . Not really sure about the whole ***** thing (can't say as will spoil for those who've not viewed!)

Raiders and Crusade still the best.

...and yes, I'm sure I caught a glimpse of a zimmer-frame in a couple of shots! btw...that HAT has lasted remarkably well don't you think.

I saw it the other day and the Mrs and I thought it was a perfect popcorn movie.

Don't think just watch and you will enjoy the standard Indy formula.

Impossible escapes, cannon fodder bad guy henchmen, evil bad guys who get their..............


Sorry I don't want to give to much away

What a hoot. Very well done - and it leaves nothing to be desired if you enjoyed the previous editions. The effects were splendid, and there were plenty of tunnels, bugs, spider webs, poison darts, stone walls, doors and traps, whips, car chases, explosions and other-wordly effects to keep even the most demanding Jones-o-phile more than happy. The same trumpety theme music soared. The villains are great - how could Blanchett not be?

A thoroughly-enjoyable spectacle! Recommended!

I thoroughly agree with the above. An excellent, entertaining and enjoyable movie. I was expecting a bit less given Harrison's age (born 1942), but was not let down. We had a great night.
