i love the original three but this one i have to say is pretty rubbish, why aliens?????they ruin it and the ending is really bad!!!!indiana jones 1-3 are my favourite films, but this one is really dissapointing, its obvious that george lucus has gone the same way as he did in star wars!!!!! why???? and shia is realy iratating and karen allen is underused, it just feels rushed and to eager to please!!!! finally why the aliens????

Although the movie was entertaining, It doesn't quite have the magic that we've come to expect from the series. One of the most annoying things for me however was the bullets continually missing people over and over again. When a small army with sub machine guns shoots at you through palm leaves and no one ever gets hit or even bothers to duck??? That's either pushing it or just lazy editing. And those waterfalls??? ( as if ) Indi used to survive by his wits, now he just survives for no reason whatsoever. Like some kind of Marvel Superhero without the superpowers

The movie was excellent, I think movie trailers show too much of the awe parts of the movie reducing the wow factor, aas you know what is about to happen , Indiana's son's part of a character cross between 'the wild one' and 'kookie' was clever and easy to understand if you lived in or around the sixtys. What have we in store for the next one probably something like red roho 26 , meets austin powers and Indiana jnr at redonda beach for a U.S. shjowoff

I found it to be very entertaining and engrossing up to the scene with the ants, and from that point on, it reminded me more of "the Mummy" than Indiana Jones. I agree that Karen Allen was underutilized, and Harrison Ford is still hot! Shia's role was just OK. I wish Speilberg and Lucas could have come up with a better finale. Indy deserved it, but they didn't come through for him.

We just came out of the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Although the movie was very entertaining, it certainly did not have the same captivating and spine tingling thrills as the original 3 movies. Harrison Ford is still hot and Junior is a cutie as well. In response to the post that asked, "Why aliens?" I can tell you that it is because it has long been a theory or a legend that the origin of the Nazca lines is with aliens who visited our planet centuries ago. Since there is no vantage point above the lines that could explain their creation, it has been proposed that the pictures were created by aliens and marked landing areas for their space crafts. The same theory has been applied to such "superhuman creations' as the great piramids, the huge piramids in Mexico and some of the amazing architectural marvels in Central and South America. I have long wondered why Hollywood had never taken advantage of that obviously tantalizing hypothesis.

I was abit upset that when I watched the trailer on youtube http://youtube.com/watch?v=FDUxwcwdjyQThere was a song used in the background and lo and behold when I saw it in the cinema it was not used? WHY? I think it really worked? Did anyone else think this? They are a real band as i found them on http://www.myspace.com/honeyrydertheband Anyone know the reasoning for this? I guess ill just have to wait and buy the single :( Shame on you Indy music people!On the other hand i really enjoyed the movie, harrison has managed to maintain his looks (I think!) I do agree that it managed to keeo its flow even afer 20 years......Go Indy Go!

I couldn't wait for the movie after watching the last 3 as a kid. I thought that the movie was very well crafted
