I'm 2 hours off seeing it with everyone from work. We're seeing it in a giant cinema "E-max" with Big Booming Sound like it should be !! *yay*

And Pokkorn !! and Choke-a-coalie !!! W00T.

I'm excited.

I honestly wish I'd only seen it once.

I saw it a second time yesterday (it's what Mom wanted to do for her birthday) and enjoyed it immensely! I didn't love it, walking out of the theatre on Saturday, but, by Sunday evening, I'd decided I was being too critical. I went back, and just enjoyed it for the sheer fun. Too much CGI? Sure, especially fencing on cars and Tarzan. Otherwise, setting physics and logic aside, lots of fun!

Yeah, all the nitpicking got to me. But, aside from that, and though I liked the goofy spirit of the proceedings ... there was really nothing to it. Raiders of the Lost Ark is as complex as War and Peace in comparison to Indy 4.


So ... it still remains my second favorite. But Last Crusade is now a close third. Indy 4 has been demoted in my mind from my rapturous first viewing. Too bad.

I'm actually wanting to go back, which is rare. Perhaps I'll check it out at my nearest drive-in. (The Silver Moon in Lakeland, Florida) That way it will be a double feature with Iron Man, which I've not seen.

Another comparison in which Indy 4 will come out on the suck side.

I think what I enjoy about this movie is that one's opinion on it seems to move about from viewing to viewing and conversation to conversation.

Cognitive dissonance at work!

Nah, for me, it's totally consistent with my initial Euphoria over Return of the Jedi, The Last Crusade, and Attack the Clones. I enjoyed each one immensely at the opening show. I thought each one saved the series from a horrible predecessor. And I find each one pretty "meh" now, and don't care to ever see any of them again.


Indy 4 was, alas for me, the equivalent of a one-hit wonder band. But, like those others I mentioned, though I won't watch them, I will always think fondly of them.
