Yeah Crystal Skull wasn't up to par with the first three but it did manage at least to not take a big smelly all encompassing shit on the entire franchise like the Star Wars prequels.
Yes it did....=)

Even though everyone brings up aliens, nuking fridge, and CGI monkeys, those weren't all the issues in the movie.

1. WTF are crystal skulls? I mean everyone knows what the Ark and the Holy Grail are, but wtf are crystal skulls? There was a sense of mystery behind those artifacts that was gone completely with the fourth installment.

NOw you might argue that the Temple of Doom's Shankara stones weren't interesting either, but that movie was about India.

I mean I don't even remember the locals in Indy 4, do you? What's sad is recently I've been playing Uncharted 1 and 2, and those two games take place in El Dorado and Shangra-La, why the fuck does a Indy knock off video game have more mysterious and renown locals than an Indy movie?

2. Replacing Nazis with Reds, it just made Indy look like a Mccarthyist when he says "I like Ike," and honestly I found it a bit offensive.

3. Mudd won't STFU....now I'm not blaming Shia, Shia can only be himself and he's always meant to be a side kick in movies, but why the hell does he have so many lines here. I mean he's already playing out the role of a 'the wild ones' rip off greaser, but it's like they're forcing his character down our throats.

4. Bringing back Marion, I understand they're trying to wrap up the series with this installment, but she just looks old and tired in this film, and no character or presence what so ever. She's such an important person in the Indy series, and she's handled so poorly in this film it was just sad.

5. Shia picking up the Fedora.....FUCK NO, nothing against Shia...again, but the prequels equivalent of this scene was George force feeding us that Medichorians crap that we heard in Phantom Menace. I know somewhere an executive asked George or Steve if there was any way to start a new series to milk the franchise a little be longer, but this was just wrong in so many levels....>=0

6. The stupid quadruple agent thing, they wanted somewhere in the plot a close friend of Indy's to betray him, but they didn't want it to be reminiscent of 'the last Crusade,' so they pulled this shit..../shakes head.

There is so many things wrong with that movie that I feel tired thinking about it....so even though it wasn't as b.s. and forgettable as the Tomb Raider movies, it was just the next worse thing....=(
wait... I never said that. 0.0

shia is my bishy
what are you, president of this hack's fanclub or something?

Jesus christ I just looked over the thread and the amount of tongue bathing people are giving this worthless fuck is appalling. Hes been the worst part of everything hes ever been in. Not counting his laughable start on disney channel, where he was a piece of rotting corn in a humongous pile of shit. Understandable people would confuse that sharp contrast for talent or ability.

I think he is a half decent actor who puts effort into his roles. The fact that he doesn't blame writing or directing for a movie's failure shows maturity in my opinion.
No, it shows delusion. Its like saying, "I can make a coin come up heads 100% of the time! Oops I messed up. Oops I messed up. Oops I messed up. See! there! go me!"
No, it shows maturity. Seriously, you may not like him, but so what? do you have to criticize him just because he fucked up once or twice?

At least he apologizes for the mistakes he made, not many young actors do that because they are to far up their own arse, their is no need to criticize him because he apologised, non at all.

So first Shia goes on about how Transformers 3 will be better and now he's sorry about Indiana Jones and the Nuclear Refrigerator? (and hell I liked that scene). What exactly is his deal? Has he realized that running his mouth like a jackass about how shit-amazing he is has finally caught up to him? Is it just a hollow gesture in a pitiful attempt to get people to stop disliking him and the films he's in? Who can say. Personally I'd just rather he shut up entirely.

It wasn't a good movie, and he might have played a part in it not being very good, but it's script wasn't great, the plot unmemorable, and none of the actors were in their prime.

Though, I hope he rethinks the snotty spoiled lowest-common-demoninator pretty boy brat he always plays. I'm not a fan but I think he is capable of better. Maybe he should give a couple indie art-house flicks a go.

I thought Indy 4 was decent. It was worth watching and a fun movie, even though unrealistic at times (but people's faces melting off is so realistic, right?)

It wasn't his fault. It was the writers.

Aliens and surviving a nuke made it horrible. The rest was pretty ok.

LaBeouf seriously, I'm going to say it again. Indiana Jones 4 was not your fault. You have got to stay away from Internet forums, they're only populated by clinging, complaining dipshits who'll never be satisfied with your work no matter how hard you try. You could give the best performance of your career, such that even the very Gods of Film (if there were any) descended from Heaven to kneel at your feet with praise, these dipshits would still find something to whine about. Incidentally, I thought your performance in the film was quite good. The shortfall of the film was that whole aliens bit. So unless that was your idea, I don't see how it's your fault.

Labouef. Here's a little tip, free, from the internet.

If you want to suck less, follow Leonardo Dicapprio.
Get away from the films that make you go "Gee willikers!" and show you off as a meat popsicle, and find a director who will actually give you a character.

Understand that, like Fox, you're getting parts purely for your draw to certain parts of the audience. Find a GOOD script, and they are around, and then ACT YOUR GODDAM SOCKS OFF.

Even if it sucks, you'll never have to appear in some lame summer fanservice crap again.
