Rating:  - Movie is medicore. This is more of a review of Amazon.Bought it new from amazon, received a used-resealed copy with a old price sticker on it. Disc also had fingerprints all over it. Normally I love Amazon, but this was unacceptable. I didn't buy it from a 3rd party either, it was straight from Amazon. Rating:  - Great MoiveIndiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull It would seem that Indiana Jones is what most men want to be; brave, heroic smart, and adventurous. But can a movie that has had a nineteen year gap between its third and fourth film be as successful as its earlier films? Can the magic of the first few films be recaptured since its star, Harrison Ford, is now older and movie making has changed so much? I think they did a great job recapturing the movies and adding new features into the movie but still remaining true to the original three films. If I had to rank all four of the Indiana Jones movies I would have to say that this one would be my third favorite after The Raiders of the Lost Arc and The Last Crusade. The first and third movies seemed to have an underlining view that God did exist and that it was more of a search for God. I was disappointed to see that The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull took on a theme more like The Temple of Doom. The Raiders of the Lost Arc and The Last Crusade had a sense of reality to them that made the story believable and the scene with the aliens takes away that reality. It was nice to see that the writing was creative but still seemed like the original movies. I liked the one quote that Cate Blanchett said to Harrison Ford "Belief, Dr. Jones, is a gift you have yet to receive. My sympathies." Jones responded by saying "Oh, I believe, sister. That's why I'm down here" This made me think of the Old Testament phrase "Fear of the Lord." It seemed that Jones had a proper fear of this unknown power. When ever people entered into the presences of God they were very fearful which seems much more relevant to the situation. I was just surprised when she said that it was disbelief when I thought it was clear that it was a time to be nervous. I loved this quote from the movie because it is often time something that I think applies to us today. Jones is trying to warn Spalko to "Be careful, you may get exactly what you wish for" and she responds by saying "I usually do." I feel that this is very true sometimes we want something but its not something that we should be desiring. It made me think of a child who is having a temper tantrum because they want to have a new toy. You don't give into them and you might even have to punish the child for they way they are acting. I personally feel that Jones is right in this quote, we should not have everything we want. I was surprised to hear that quote since we live in a society where we feel as though we should have whatever we want. Over all I thought that this was a very good and imaginative movie that kept very true to the first three movies. All of the action scenes were just as good as they were in the past movies. Even though some of the scenes were unrealistic, such as the sword fight that took place on the back to two cars or swinging from tree to tree to catch up with the racing cars, it was still very entertaining. I also thought the ending was very appropriate since it was almost like a passing of the torch. Overall I would say that this was a very good addition to the Indiana Jones movies. Rating:  - So weak it should be excluded from the seriesI saw Indiana Jones 4. Here is what you need to do if you want to enjoy the movie: 1. Assume that working with supernatural forces for all these years has made Indy sturdy enough to do things no other 66 year old man could do and not need an ambulance immediately after. 2. Forget you saw any of the other films. Basically, the special effects were cool and Spielberg's direction was on par. The actors were there for the show. It's the script that sucked. The movie largely rehashed scenes from other Indy movies and the ending ... oh what a travesty. The other movies in the series tended to have lots of humor but they took the main plot arch seriously and had some small nod to realism. I can only describe the ending of Indy 4 as "goofy." It really didn't seem to fit. Maybe it was a case of "where do we go after finding the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail?" There was another scene near the beginning that seemed straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. Recently I re-watched Indy 3 in high definition. It is so superior that I would say it's not even in the same league as Indy 4. How could the same guy have written both films? Clearly Lucas has been replaced by some alien hack writer. Verdict: Give it a watch if you have some time to kill and are really bored. This movie is Iron Man's bitch. Rating: - Any comment about the Blu Ray version ??Please ... someone make a comment about the Blu Ray version compared with the normal DVD version Thanks
