Oh I know, and that's why I love them so much.
I saw Indy yesterday. I thought it was great! Right up my alley; I have been interested in UFOs, pschics, the Mayans, the Nazca lines and other things that were in the movie, for some time now. Good stuff.
Um, my two cents and maybe not welcome much - I hated it. I mean, I was VERY disappointed. I am a big Indiana Jones fan. I mean, BIG. I was very excited when filming started and thrilled with the cast and the return of Marion. However, after seeing this movie today - I could not have been more disappointed. I thought it was poorly written and the acting forced. It was like Harrison watched his old movies and then acted like Indiana Jones acted. Not sure if that makes sense but he just wasn't quite Indy.
Very disappointing for me.

I cant really put my finger on what was wrong with the acting...bad script, bad directing, whatever; but, it wasnt at all like the endearing, memorable characters in an Indy movie. The characters seemed like cardboard cutouts somehow.
I enjoyed the special effects, and that's about it.

I recommend waiting for the DVD release to anyone who plans to spend the cash to see it in the theatres.
Don't recall any spiders, but plenty of other creepy crawlies.hey i have a question. we're going to see this tomorrow night (my husband and i) and i know there's ants in it but are there spiders? i have a thing about spiders.

Creepy crawlies, yes. Ants, scopions, but I don't recall any spiders either.

urban dictionary word of the day:
The word for June 03 is nuke the fridge
A colloquialism used to delineate the precise moment at which a cinematic franchise has crossed over from remote plausibility to self parodying absurdity, usually indicating a low point in the series from which it is unlikely to recover. A reference to one of the opening scenes of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, in which the titular hero manages to avoid death by nuclear explosion by hiding inside a kitchen refrigerator. The film is widely recognised by fans as a major departure from the rest of the series both in terms of content and quality.
Guy 1: "Wow. Did you see the new Indy movie? What the hell was that? It was like I was having some kind of flu induced absurdist nightmare."
Guy 2: "Yep... did or did not that series permanently Nuke the Fridge?"
Guy 1: "Oh, totally Nuked the Fridge! But I guess Spielberg is happy as long as he has the money of the people who trusted him."
Guy 2: "Guess so..."
I just got back from seeing it. I liked it okay, but I wasn't thrilled out of my seat like I hoped to be. Outside of the odd nuclear bomb, there weren't really many pitfalls or traps, the kinds of gags that made the earlier movies so exciting. It had its moments, and I like the way they acknowledged the passage of time, but it was missing something vital.
Sounds like "nuke the fridge" is the new "jumped that shark".
