Don't OPEN IT.
If you are seeing the movie Saturday night, JUST WAIT.
As for the expectations game .... I will concede that some people in our large viewing group last night did not like it at all. Some really liked it a lot. And most were pretty happy with it.
I LOVED it.
That said, I am withholding my final opinion. I remember loving The Last Crusade when it came out, simply because it was mildly good and did not suck nearly as much as Temple of Doom. But it hasn't stood the test of time, and while it has its charms, I don't hold Last Crusade in high regard any more.
But the recent Indy Marathon at LSP and Tom's really helped me enjoy all the films as a series far better than I would as individual movies (with the obvious exception of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which stands on its own as a great film). Perhaps I'm holding Crystal Skull to this less lofty standard. And so what?
But just as mousepod has a new least favorite Indy film, I easily have a new second favorite.
Raiders 4 Rocks. I can't wait to see it again tonight. And I'm really looking forward to seeing it with LoTs of LoT folk Saturday night ... so I can start taking about it!!
