A new Indiana Jones film?! Jesus, don't those money-grubbing Hollywood whores hold anything sacred. Harrison Ford can never be replaced, they should know that. Oh he still plays Indy? Isn't he like in a wheel chair? 66 huh? We'll I guess that's all right then, and Spielberg and Lucas too huh? Still, you know it's going to be one of those films full of this ridiculous meta-humour, where it keeps referring to the old films, and how funny it is that they are making a new one but now the actors are old. You know with all the old elements, juxtaposed so the joy of recognition will make the audience applaud.
Actually the film was awesome, and I was entertained from start to finish. Ford does a wonderful job, and the aging Indy thing is all handled very sensible and elegant. It's a great reprise by Marion, who of course was the only woman for Indy, and the sparks still fly when the two of them are in a scene together. The effects are awesome (especially the nuke wink wink), and the CGI is realistic and well-made - except perhaps for the goffers. The story is a bit weak and incoherent, and the villain (Cate Blanchet) was a bit too cartoonish for my taste, but all in all it was everything it should and could be, and an awesome trip down childhood lane.
7/10
