My thoughts exactly....you also have to take yourself back 20 years
and remember raiders of the lost ark....that was a fun film,
entertaining in everyway....and unbelievable in everyway....riding on
the back of a submarine, ghost and spirits spewing from the ark,
climbing up his whip to the back of a truck...come on, you all
remember that, yet did you stand up and proclaim "nonsense", "bad
acting", "illogical" and the likes...no you didn't, you went and saw
Temple of Doom....and that was even more unbelievable, jumping out of
a plane with nothing more than a rubber raft, and yet you still saw
the last crusades....this film, although 20 years later has the same
look and feel which is a miracle in and unto itself. Yes we too are
20 years older, and maybe you feel you want a little more out of your
movies but this to me brings back the memories of why I loved the
first three films....it's an adventure....that John Williams score
still playing in my head....
This was something that took my mind off the outside world into
another place and time...and that my friends, is what movie magic is
all about.

Subject: [MOPO] Off topic: Indiana Jones movie does NOT stink.
** I want to thank all of the critics and other people who got a
chance to see this film before I did.
** As a result of the "apparent" consensus view that the new Indiana
Jones movie is "not good" -- we went to a sold-out showing this
afternoon with very low expectations. The result was an experience
that was in fact -- for us -- pretty darn good. It has some pacing
issues -- but nit-pickers using yardsticks similar to what they'd
apply to a "serious picture" -- should NOT see this film. I agree
it's pointless to apply deep logic to an action-adventure franchise
that's comparable to James Bond. This is a popcorn experience that
holds together pretty well. In fact, if I have any criticism, it's
that it feels a little slow in spots.
** However, the action sequences are marvelous and all the gripes
about the CGI and the "fake looking" jungles and what not -- honestly,
I don't think the average person cares -- AS LONG as he or she feels
engaged. I think many saw the "paranormal / sci-fi" angle coming a
mile away. I agree the actors are going through the motions -- but I
was not expecting -- nor wanted -- anything out of the Lee Strasberg
school of acting anyway. I was led to believe the wonderful Karen
Allen was only a small part of this film. True, she has very few
lines -- but she has a LOT of screen time and I loved it. She looks
much older, yet still has that magnetic radiance that made me love her
in "Animal House" -- and in the first Indy picture in 1981.
** What caught me off guard was the very last scene in the film. I
won't give it away but will say it's a crowd pleaser. While many will
feel it's cornball as all get out, I did not see it coming and felt it
was appropriate sentimentalism for a picture like this. It worked
marvelously and had us smiling as we walked out of the theater.
** Finally, I think there will always be a great reservoir of
resentment that makes it almost "fashionably cool to hate Spielberg."
Some will never concede he's good at anything except making money --
and feel they must always qualify their praise -- that is, if must
give him a prop for anything he does well - they take something away
that has the sum effect of leaving people the impression that he is
the purist definition of being "overrated" and/or the personification
of "mediocrity" in Hollywood. The new Lucas/Spielberg effort was
about an "8" on a 1-10 scale -- and thank goodness -- it was NOT the
"Phantom Menace" disappointment I feared. It will be forgotten in a
few months -- but it accomplishes what it sets out to do. More
wonderful -- was seeing hundreds of children in the audience, many
with their parents, thoroughly engrossed with the film. I always love
to see this. Not every scene must be filled with breath-taking
action. There was even applause as the end credits rolled. Most
important, I did not feel that my money -- or more important, my time
-- were ripped off.
