I guess Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is considered bad on this forum. I loved it. More because I’ve read all the Bantam Books, the comics from both Marvel and Dark Horse, played The Last Crusade, Fate of Atlantis, Infernal Machine, and Emperor’s Tomb video games. Still a huge Indiana Jones fan and won’t sell anything I’ve collected of it. Unlike Star Wars.
Except if there were an Indiana Jones movie trilogy in the 1990s I’d go for Fate of Atlantis, Spear of Destiny, and The Iron Phoenix. Monkey King was an alright script, would like to see it as a comic book.
ZARDOZ. So glad I own the Arrow Blu-ray disc.

I’m down with Temple of Doom (which is cheesy in spots) but not Crystal Skull which is cartoon nonsense. Cate Kapshaw does nothing for me though. Film is missing Karen Allen or Elsa, one woman who is the good girlfriend type or another you just want to ****.

I will admit that I’ve only been absolutely destroyed by how devastatingly bad a picture is a handful of times. One was CR 2006. One was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. One was TFA. And then there was what happened to poor Speed.

After watching the trailer, my brother and I looked at each other and knew that this wasn’t going to be a return to the used-universe aesthetic of the originals, no matter what JJ had promised.

I assume you were pleasantly surprised in this regard when you saw the film.

I had already known that a lot of the creatures and props would be practical, but there’s no denying that few frames of the movie are untouched by digital enhancement. That and the more modern editing style did take some getting used to, but eventually I came to appreciate the film for what it was and not my unrealistic vision of what it could probably never have been.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

I think the movie is quite underrated. Remove the kid and his monkey and it’s a complete winner.

The kid and his monkey were in the original cartoon and frequently saved Speed’s butt.

I know, but as I said, I have no connection to the cartoon so that doesn’t matter to me. All that mattered to me was how annoying they both were in an otherwise good movie.

Well that’s really dumb. Calling the Speed Racer cartoon the Original Gangster cartoon is just silly.

Not everyone here is asexual or coloring in their Star Wars coloring book.

Notably, that’s also the roles those characters were designed for.

As in the kind of amaze that is the opposite of actually being amazing.

I like how you call it a “cartoon” even though it’s a Japanese cartoon based on a Japanese comic. I’m glad you’ve finally come to the realisation that “anime” and “manga” are just cartoons and comics.

/still getting salty over someone’s meaningless opinion about Japanese comic art styles.

Too many people like it to call it an anime.

I don’t think anime existed as a definition when I was a kid watching the show.

The comic book is much better but the movie is only good for Sean Connery and neat stuff.

Disregarding all prior conversation aboots Speed Racer live-actions movie feelm animu adaptationings. (I swear I’m not drunk or having a stroke or drunk and having a stroke at the same time.)

One more is Mystery Men. I enjoyed it. Dunno why I sold the DVD. Gonna buy the Blu-ray disc eventually. Decent comic book to movie adaptation.
