Earlier this week, IMDB had a reader review score of 9.0 for Crystal Skull. That's utterly insane -- higher than every great film ever made! It's already down to 8.1, and clearly after another month the review will more properly reflect the film's true quality.
WHy are people so dumb? If a film's crap it's crap, don't kid yourself. The same thing happened with ROTS - people convinced themselves it was a good film and George had finally pulled it off. But it wasn't a good film, it was shit. Not as shit as TPM and AOTC, but shit nonetheless.Earlier this week, IMDB had a reader review score of 9.0 for Crystal Skull.

I'm glad we have two threads to diss the new Indy film in because it deserves it.

I saw it tonight and it was fun to watch. I liked the nod to Raiders in the beginning, and I liked the way the film ended. The film felt sillier than the previous 3 and the plot was a bit murky, but it was still enjoyable. I liked seeing Marion again. It's no Raiders, that's for damn sure, but it didn't offend me like the prequels did.

But it had Aliens in it!!!
The only good portion of the film was from when Indy meets Mutt up to when they get captured outside the tomb where Indy finds the skull hidden behind the mummy. All that was pretty good. But it NOSEDIVED after that.
