Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I gotta keep these movie reviews short. My eyes are getting sore.

The new Indy Jones flick was just great. I really liked it. Classic Spielberg. The cool thing was that it really seemed like it picked up right where they left off in the last one with Sean Connery.

Indy's a little older, but he's the same Indy. He can fight, but he gets beat up, too. He's funny. He still has those wisea$$ one-liners when he's in trouble. He's resourceful without being too superhero-ish. He's your everyman hero with his archaeologist intellect and a bullwhip.

Shia LaBeoulf was good in it. Something about that guy. He has that X-factor. Cate Blanchett was awesome as the Russian leader lady. Kinda like Natasha from Rocky & Bullwinkle.

I liked that they didn't overdo it with the special effects. I mean, you could tell that they used it, of course, but the stuff that happens in the movie was appropriate with the time period of the movie. Yeah, whatever. Go see it. Lucky thing they didn't overdo it all these years later or we would have had another Star Wars I through III.

I liked it so much that I seriously wouldn't mind seeing another one. The critics didn't like it 'cause I guess when your expectations are so high, anything's gonna automatically be seen as a disappointment. I think they thought it was much of the same, but if you watch the extras, you'll see Spielberg wanted it that way. I mean, the guy's only like the best director ever in the history of movies. They didn't know that he did that $hit on purpose? Retards!

Again, great movie, especially if you're an Indy fan. I definitely liked it more than the third one. Why do they call him Indiana anyway?

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I think some people will have trouble with the story, but I thought it was pretty creative given the circumstances and expectations. You'll see. I'll give this movie two NATIONAL TREASURE copycat movies. Nothing beats the originality of the Indiana Jones character...
