The New Indiana Jones: Verdict is in
>> Monday, May 26, 2008
It was JUST okay. (But it's always nice to have a bit of Harrison Ford action, even if the beautiful Sean Connery was MIA).
Although the new Dr. Jones movie has almost reached record highs during its opening week, I have to agree with the critics that say it isn't as brilliant as expected.
My take on the film: too much George Lucas, not enough Steven Spielberg. Too space-agey, futuristic and not as much like the original Indiana Jones'. And, to boot, there were several scenes that were obviously computer-generated and noticably fake. I was not impressed.
However, I was delightfully surprised at Shia LeBouf's performance. I'll be the first to say I'm not a fan of the former Disney actor, but he delivered better than I expected.
All I have to say is there better not be ANOTHER sequel. Leave it alone.
