There are a few other movies opening in limited release today, but Memorial Day weekend this year is all about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. My review is up, and I finally settled on 3.5 stars
I understand the criticisms that have been made, but they honestly don't bother me that much. To wit; the endless bitching about the used of green screen and CGI. which people are shocked to discover in a movie produced by George Lucas. Speaking for myself, I was able to ignore most of it.
Except for the monkeys.
Anyway, I was happy to see Indy and Marion back in action. And Shia LaBeouf didn't annoy me...much, which has to count for a plus.
I'll have a write-up for last night's Maiden show once after I take a nap and get some IV saline.
I would like to see this movie. I think the last time that I actually saw a film in theaters instead of on Netflix would have to be the 21 years ago or whenever the last Indiana Jones movie came out…
For what it’s worth, my review of CRYSTAL SKULL is href=”http://miserableannalsoftheearth.blogspot.com/2008/05/indiana-jones-in-1-d.html”>here. I’m not as content with the film as you are.
And if you’re interested in how some buncha punks ripped off my DIARY OF THE DEAD review for their own webzine, and would have gotten away with it, too, if they hadn’t been so stupid as to link back to my blog, well, see href=”http://miserableannalsoftheearth.blogspot.com/2008/05/dead-yet-plagiarize.html”>this.
