New Indiana Jones


Saw this yesterday and loved it. With the exception of a couple of scenes I thought it was fucking great. I know some people didn't like the sci-fi aspect to parts of it, but it was fitting for the time period.

I thought it was great fun, and what I really like is that Indiana Jones is just a very very different asthetic than most summer action flicks. It's got this old school charm to it that elevates it in my opinion. An unabashed love for good guys and heroism that just isn't present.

Some things were over the top, but I can live with it.

I think the nuke test and lead refrig were pushing my suspension of disbelief a little bit.

The swinging with monkeys was the one scene in the movie I truly hated. It was fucking ridiculous.
