Movie Review: Indiana Jones

Okay, so I went to see Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull (I think that is the name) and overall I would have to say: just okay.

The one thing I thought would really bother me didn't: Harrison Ford. Yes, the guy is 65 and 20 years older than the last movie, but I have to say I bought it. They made jokes about him being old and they did not try to make him young. It's not like he had a huge gut or anything. He even had a shirtless scene and I have to say: not bad.

Things that have to go:

Karen Allen-You looked old! Cute does not work on a 55-year-old. Get a haircut! Go to the gym! Cause you are in an Indiana Jones movie! It just looked like Harrison Ford was like, "Hey, I am 65, but I am still going to look great for my age because I am a freaking movie star." Karen Allen just showed up. Put in a little effort. As Lilly would say, "My hell, lady!"

Shia-I think he's a good actor, but annoying in this part. Why did he take his motorcycle to Peru? Can't you store it somewhere? His hair bugged. It is way too curly for a pompadour. His name was Mutt-yes, of course it was, not cheesy at all. And all of a sudden you are a monkey swinging through the trees and the monkeys are your friends? I don't think so.

Snake part-Seriously? No vines in the jungle to pull you out of the sand pit? How about the ones Shia was swinging on? This was just thrown in there. Indy hates snakes-we got that 20 years ago; don't pound us over the head with it.

The whole crystal skull stuff: Super lame. Is this an Indy movie or Aliens? A Mayan storyline alone would have been just as cool and more believable to an extent.

My advice: wait for it on video or go to a Matinee like I did. Not worth $8 a ticket.
