I'm also seeing it tonight.

I've quite low expectations for it, albeit from people's opinions I hardly respect (not to be pretentious, but I just can't hold alot of stock in their tastes - Spiderman & 300 for gods sake?), so hopefully I'll enjoy it in the same way I can enjoy Temple of Doom or Return of the Jedi; medicore films with alot of fun.

I went in with really high expectations, maybe thats why I was let down in the end.

I thought Return of the Jedi was one of the best of the originals. I like the Temple of Doom more than Indy 4.

I saw it and I have some mixed feelings to be frank.

A few points:
1. Ford is excellent, a true Indy
2. Shia is very good
3. Karen Allen - great but her part is minute
4. Spalko - nice, well played but a tad shallow in character
5. Other characters - meaningless
6. PLot - questionable - a bit too concrete to my taste at the end
7. CGI - too much, too Disney-esque (the ants were not really scary as were the snakes, bugs and rats, the gophers were redundant, the monkey scene downright horrible and ridiculous)
8. Fun ride, but I missed the Indy grit (as in truck chase, airplane fight, mine car chase, rock crusher fight, tank chase) and the romance...

All in all, fun but for me it would rank at about the same level as ToD at this point. ToD feels more complete in Indy-ness.

And I think Spielberg didn't keep his word about the small amount of CGI.

yes. I want a good modern adventure movie with no cgi. Its so much cooler and more convincing when the actors are interacting with an actual environment.

Plus the environment looks scarier when it's real. The ants weren't scar at all, right out of a Disney movie.

I also have mixed opinions of Crystal Skull, albeit I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it is much better than any of the Prequels and levels with Return of the Jedi for me.

I liked it. It wasn't the best of the series, but it certainly wasn't the worst. It had some awesome moments, like the part with the snake and...the fate of Cate Blanchett, which I won't write since I don't know how to do spoiler tags. There were some WTF moments, like the monkeys. All in all it was good. My brother and I were the only ones who laughed when Indy said "I have a bad feeling about this."

Anyway, I think the reason a lot of people were disappointed because they didn't know what to expect. Everything I read said that it was going to be just what it was: a fifties-type B movie. It was never meant to be the same as the others. I do agree, however, that they used CGI a little to liberally.

Why on earth wouldn't they use THX for the movie?

I also laughed at the "Bad felling about this" I was suprised my friend didn't.

I know THX rules. That's why I can't figure out why they wouldn't use it on a freakin' Lucasfilm movie!

Oh sorry, I thought you said they didn't use it. Now I can't believe they wouldn't, that is very odd!

One major highlight in KOTCS: Indy's response when he sees Marion for the first time. Superb acting by Ford!!!

I thought it was a tad silly, it was okay, but Marion's acting seemed fake to me, especially with Shia during that part of the movie.

I think it was. The latest addition kinda enriches the debate methinks.

I have to disagree with you there. I thought that ALL the Star Wars OT movies were good, but Temple of Doom was a let down as a sequel.

Actually it was a prequel.
