Ah, the long-awaited fourth Indiana Jones movie has arrived and is currently disappointing audiences everywhere. Two facts: 1) The Indiana Jones series is on my family’s Top 10 Movies List, so my expectations were high. 2) Sequels are overwhelmingly disappointing, and especially when the latest installment premieres 19 years after the ‘last’ one. That, by the way, makes me question why “The Last Crusade” wasn’t left alone. Don’t they know what LAST means? Anyway, Harrison Ford looked great. I knew he would. I’ve had sex dreams about him, for Pete’s sake. HE’S not going to disappoint. All the actors looked great. The appearance of Marion made both audiences (yes, I went twice) around me sigh, “Oh…” so bringing her back was a wise choice. Shia LeBeouf was believable as Indy’s (surprise!) son. Cate Blanchett’s character was more of a caricature of a character, but looking back at the other Indiana Jones movies, I think there are those kinds of ‘comic strip villains’ in each one. I’ve heard a lot of people review this movie and I’ve learned that the alien direction was not appreciated. I wasn’t bothered by this at all. Every movie has had supernatural happenings; aliens was just a matter of time. What DID bother me was the campy coincidences and unbelievable scenes that often time seemed to go on way too long (much like this review). The monkeys becoming Shia’s pal and helping him defeat the evil Russians was the last straw. That scene was reminiscient of Pirates of the Caribbean, which is all a little too ‘Disney’ for me. Overall, some scenes could be cut as well as some cheesiness. I give this movie a B.
