Director: Spielberg

According to the Saving Private Ryan Online Encyclopedia, Steamboat Willie only kills Captain Miller. He is not the soldier who kills Private Mellish. The two soldiers simply look alike. I'm not sure about that.

You can tell it's a sluggish morning.

Maybe I was wrong.

And the movie just got a little less interesting.

Yes, very convenient that the SS Officer is uncredited. Maybe it's a common mistake because it's no mistake at all. Perhaps everyone who's ever seen that movie has that impression because that's what's going on.

But ... I'll take a look at it again. The widow's peak is a potentially convincing difference.


If true, yeah, the movie just got a lot more boring.

If you liked Catch Me If You Can, I strongly recommend reading the book. It is much more interesting.

I'm sure you are correct. I will have to add it to the library list!

I second this.

And I'm still a bit irked that I had to keep this at Top 5. I had a rather hard time editing that list down.

The central section of Indy drinking blood and going over to the dark side of some voodoo cult is classic Serial Stuff that is the series raison d'etre.

But the rest of the movie is a theme park ride, and not a film. They simply go from room to room, place to place, and have a set-piece 'adventure' in each location before moving on linearly to the next. That's what passes for a plot and a story. Bah. The dialogue is leaden, not clever. The situations are random, not building. The characters are lame, not lively.

It's really one of the worst movies ever made, not only perhaps the worst sequel of all time.

I dunno, I think Exorcist II was the worst sequel of all time.
Ugh.

blueerica - Ain't nothing wrong with an extended list.
