It’s been almost TWENTY years since the last installment, but the buzz is, (and with Spielberg directing) it’s gonna be well worth the wait!
i have never seen any of the indiana jones films, but they sound awesome! hope you enjoy it terry!!
I’m going to say “no, it isn’t” and I’ll cite Star Wars, episodes 1,2, and 3 as evidence against this film from the pet cemetery.
Well, the last three (preqels?) star wars didn’t have any of the great [human] characters like ford, and none had Spielberg at the helm! Don’t stay away because those movies sucked, I think you’ll be more than pleasantly surprised!
I want to see Indiana Jones as much as the next guy, but this is a delicate task-- following up to a movie series that topped itself 3 times in a row, I’ve got to ask: Are they focusing on a story line or a gimmick?
Personally, I’m waiting for T4 and the inevitable war with the machines.
Edit: And Natalie Portman was in the Star Wars “pringles”, how can such a great actress choose perpetually horrible roles?
The second movie (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) may have topped the other two at the box office, but it was stupid and not nearly as good as numbers 1 and 3. The question is, where will #4 fit in? And I’m going to allow for Harrison Ford to be 20 years older if the timeline in the movie does, but that would put it somewhere in the 1950s, supposedly, which isn’t the impression I’ve gotten…
What?
WHAT!!??
To be fair, #2 had all of the visual effects that an Indiana Jones movie should have.
FOLLOWING UP TO A MOVIE SERIES THAT TOPPED ITSELF 3 TIMES IN A ROW…
Was that better?
I still have to disagree. I prefer visual effects of things that are at least slightly more believable. Two examples:
-
Using an inflatable raft as a parachute for three people, which happens to stay right-side up, to land on a snow-covered mountain peak, to then catapult them off a cliff, where they continue to remain right-side up, to land in a tropical jungle. Did that one bug anyone else?
-
An underground roller coaster, and everything that went with that nonsense. Stopping the cart with his shoe? That was great (and funny) and could still have been done without all the stupidity and physics-busting stuff that came along those tracks…
Oh, like you’ve ever been in a temple of doom…
…
hahahaha! OH MY GOD! When i clicked into this thread, a commercial for indiana jones came on… SHHH! THEY KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!
Edit: P.S. Worlds biggest star wars fan for life here… hehe… I LOVE STARWARS, no movie is better than star wars, star wars pwns all.
Don’t get me started on how a big bowl of water can fill an underground system of caverns.
yep, 1957 to be exact.
Maybe a ride by that name? They have something like that at Disneyland. You ride in a large “jeep” that bumps and bounces all over the place while it drives along a flat roadway. It must look awfully silly from the side!
Yeah, and come shooting out the ends, miles later, eroding the cliffside (this is after passing through huge rooms with lava at the bottom… But I figured my two examples would be enough…
Way cool. Duh, that explains the lady with Russian accent. Maybe it will be Sputnik or space-race related? That was in 1957…

I think you meant to post that in the other thread, the one about the Top Thrill Dragster? Anyway, Millenium Force is the best roller coaster in the world*. The ride is still going 72mph when it hits the brakes at the end. Most coasters don’t even get up to 72 on the first hill (92 for this one; it’s all about the speed).
- I haven’t ridden every roller coaster in the world; it’s just my favorite, and I’ve ridden a lot of them
If you meant to post that here, I’ll toss out that the difference between a roller coaster and a mine cart is that the roller coaster wheels are locked to the tracks…
haha whoops yeah!:o
