Movie review
Ok SO some people have asked my why I hate the new Indy movie soo soo much. This will contain spoilers, but this movie was an obvious piece of crap from the start so i don't see what i could spoil besides George and Steve's plan to steal $10 from you

There was the typical Harrison Ford "look at me I'm awesome" winks at the camera.
There were fist fights. Really, really convincing fist fights.
There was a callback to the sword/gun moment.
There was a fitting tribute to Marcus Brody.
There was a most excellent score.
There was fantastic direction.
There were strange native American tribes doing strange native American shit.
There were mysteries.
There was mysticism.
There were chase scenes.
There were monkeys. (Shut up! Everybody knows monkeys are awesome, and that they hate commies.)

The only thing I wish they hadn't done was explained so much about what was going on with the Crystal Skulls. Should have just let me think "whoa, magic" and let me guess where it came from. That was my only real disappointment. I call this problem "the mitichlorian phenomenon."
Alright, that, and randomly powerful magnets that only work when it's convenient. Fuck that.

On the whole: the worst of the Indy movies, but still an enjoyable couple hours of popcorn munching.
