Indiana Jones IV
I don´t want to spoil anyone so I´ll just talk about my general feeling.
I saw the new Indiana Jones last night and I must admit that altough I liked it I´m kind of dissapointed. I have problems with the story, the look of the movie and the setting in the 50´s.
The story is crap but I did not expect it to be a mindopener. For me it was pretty clear that the story was leading to this end because I´ve seen a TV-Episode about the crystall skull. It´s the change of direction, away from religious artifacts to something different, that was iritating. You have a clear picture of what an Indiana Jones story is about and for the most part of the movie this is delivered but the conclusion was a bit unusal and I don´t know what it was about.
I didn´t like the look of the movie especially in the first part of the movie. I needed some time getting used to the new setting. At some points it was way over the top. Especially the action sequences but in the whole tone of the movie they still fit in.
This movie is more like a comic book than any other of the previous films. Harrison Ford still has the vibes but in some parts you notice that 20 years have passed since "Last Crusade". I liked Shia and Karen Allen. Although she was a little bit overacting more than once but the chemistry between Marion and Indy was great. Cate Blancett was great but her character wasn´t the best villain of the series.
I have to watch the movie again when it comes out on DVD to see if it really works for me.
