i had looked forward to Crystal Skull when i heard it was going to be shot on location with traditional effects and choreography to the fights.

instead it is full of lucasian fake cgi imagery the movie is littered with it, lame.

He ruined star wars now he sees fit to ruin Indiana Jones.

if most of the movie is fake and shot on greenscreen why spielberg shot it on film and cut it on a kem editing machine are beyond me.

they even cheaped out on not going for a full orchestra like the LSO for the score.

now all we can do is hope someone like goodmusician can cobble together the full score williams actually wrote for the film, that depends of course on what has been released.

unlike the original indiana jones trilogy there are no re-recordings to cull bits and pieces and parts of the score not on the true soundtrack release.

Plus i agree with 20th Century Mark, War of the Worlds was complete and utter garbage.

The modern Spielbergs don't come close to the oldies, although i did like the critical miss a.i., and Minority Report but that is because i am a fan of Phillip K Dick, and Brian Aldiss as well as Stanley Kubrick.

I would say Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Close Encounters, and E.T. are classics even Spielberg would be hard put to surpass in the modern era it simply cannot be done.
