because i'm still irritated at the crappiness of the movie - I'm going to list the reasons why it was so awful. If you haven't seen the movie but really want to - or you don't want to know the plot, don't read cause i'm gonna lay it all out there.
1. any decent action movie does NOT end with a wedding. Especially Indiana Jones movies. This wedding adds to the corny factor of the whole movie.
2. Indiana Jones doesn't have kids. Indiana Jones has hot girlfriends and he's an eternal bachelor. He's a loner. Don't saddle him up with a past her prime wife, and a punk ass kid. I don't care if they still have good banter or not.
3. Aliens - are you kidding me? The crystal skull belongs to aliens? LAME-O. I will say their shiny crystally skeletons looked cool - but gimme a break. I didn't go see this movie wanting some mystery about magnetic ALIEN SKELETONS.
4. The first 20 minutes. I know every movie has a bit of unbelievability (is that a word) but what the heck. He located the crate with the stupid magnetic alien skeleton by throwing gun powder in the air and chasing it. The fight with the big Russian looking guy ended when they somehow launched a jet engine into the desert - and he survived only to wander into some fake town that gets nuked - and he survived by climbing into a lead lined fridge that got thrown MILES by the blast - and he survived to climb out of the fridge and stand on a cliff and look at the mushroom cloude in wonder and amazement. I was sitting there in my seat looking at him with wonder and amazement at how stupid the whole scenario was/is.
5. Indiana Jones is known for great chase scenes. It would have been halfway decent had they not lived through the angel falls falls - all three of them.
6. Using a snake as a rope. That was only good for the "I hate SNAKES" line - i don't care what kind of non-poisonious rat snake it is - its body isn't strong enough to pull out a 180 pound man from quicksand - AFTER it already pulled out his 140 pound old lady.
7. i know i mentioned it previously, but when Mutt was swinging through the amazon WITH THE MONKEYS - that was a bit too much for me.
I think that's about it. This must be how the die hard Star Wars fans felt with Episode I came out.
