I do not know how this movie received a majority of good review's. It was a sorry display of filmmaking all around. Either, Lucas was beating spielberg with is money hungry cock, hindering him from doing his job or Spielberg just realized he didn't have to try very hard because it's an Indiana Jones movie and people would pay to see it no matter the quality.

i cant believe some people are still crying because indy 4 wasnt quite the second coming they'd anticipated. It was a bloody enjoyable movie, so bloody enjoy it!
That's your opinion. You enjoyed it, so good for you but if there are people that didn't enjoy it, let them be it doesn't physically or mentally hurt you

i see your point, but personally i couldnt continue discussing something i hate or didnt like. Mind you, i suppose there is only so much you can discuss for a film you love, but that just isnt the reason i'm here.
it's good to see you liked it considering almost everyone else didn't like it... gives perhaps a new view on things if you can explain them

'almost everyone'? - that's highly exagerated, and you know it. Why should i explain myself to you? do not cast me in the minority just because you think your opinion is a universal fact. 'If i can explain them'? was that an insult?
People are crying because it was sold to us as the second coming by Speilberg, who once again along with Lucas, screwed us.
The opinion on how enjoyable the movie was definitely varies, Stun, certainly enough to warrant the bad feedback that it did.
Fair enough if you liked it, but don't expect everyone to have reacted to the movie with the tolorance that you have shown it.
If you are one of the millions walking out of the cinema angry and swizzled feeling, then Im sure you'd think the enjoyability of the film be questioned by those viewers.
Even hardcore shizier movies are enjoyable to some: but not most.
And this was the filmic equivalent to Speilberg lying on the floor under Lucas's bottom and begging him to unleash a russety torrent.

no not at all, I'm interested in knowing why you liked it.

oh i get it, i've been put on the spot now i've already explained why i like it, and if i put up a good enough argument (like it's necessary) i might not be burned to a stake I admit, it wasnt perfect. If a little confusing at times (second act), but a good homage to the 50's (as the originals were to the 30's) the test site was eery, unmoving, and reflected the general mood, fear and uncertainty of many people in the late 50's. I'd probably say that was my favorite scene. Everything in the first half, because the pacing was just right, you just didnt question it as much as the second half. Overall, i was pleased to see Indiana Jones return. To some fans (including myself) just seeing Harrison return to the role was pleasing enough. Now....let me be
heck, Harisson returning was indeed the highlight and indeed the things you wrote here pleased me too

When i re-watch the second half, hopefully i can make more sense of it. It just felt like a blur to me. Sorry if i got a little excited earlier, i do have a few problems with the film - it's understandable that everyone did, i tried to gel with it at times but i got lost somewhere along the way. Saying this, i did enjoy the ride, but it lacked that overall finish.
