What a wretched, steaming pile of poo this movie was. Two thumbs all the way down. The wacky, over-the-top stupidity of the script turned what should have been a fun night at the movies into a constant groan fest as things went from bad to worse to crap. I’d been warned off the film by friends with good taste in movies, but we were heading down to the in-law’s anyway…. And while we’d been warned off we’d heard from others that the movie wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately it was worse than I’d been expecting and I knew within the first 15 minutes or so that I was going to hate the film. Near the beginning of the film, Indy & a friend are captured by the bad guys and taken to a government facility out in a desert. The bad guys do some weak exposition and we’re taken inside a warehouse. If you hadn’t realized they were at Area 51 yet, the filmmakers decided to pound the point home with a 80lb sledge by painting 51 in 2 story tall numbers on the inside of the warehouse doors. *sigh*
And things just went downhill from there. True there were moments in the film which were enjoyable, but they were the exceptions not the rule. I highly recommend staying away from this wretched, steaming pile of poo.
The youth co-star was a better character / actor than I was expecting, though. I was afraid he’d be of a Wesley/Anikin mold.
And still, the movie was better than IDatToD. 🙂
True, he was better than I expected but I still disliked the character.
The single thing that makes this IDatCS better than IDatToD is the minor hero characters aren’t as annoying in IDatCS as they are in IDatToD.
