LaBeouf: It's My Fault Indiana Jones 4 Was No Good

[mooncalf]

Awr, Ford and LaBeouf have nothing to be ashamed of, Ford was really doing people a favour by returning to the role at all and why should LaBeouf bear responsibility? It wasn't too horrible a film anyway.

NUKE THE FRIDGE!

It's not his fault he's not a hot chick, a young Chinese pickpocket, and/or Sean Connery.

Arguably, Shia was the best part of the movie. Nothing about him made me cringe as much as any part of the writing did.

You hear me Steven, George, and writers?! FUCK YOU ALL!

Shia, you're alright.

Nahhhh, well yeah. Once Indy was daddy to a punk kinda killed a little of the character for me. Didn't matter who the actor was

 

[rddj623]

I always get crap for this but I liked it better then Temple of Doom. That's just me though.

The movie wasn't bad, it just wasn't as awesome as the originals. In any event, acting was not a weak point of the movie. I thought the writing was a bit shitty.

AFAIC LaBeouf's only major sin in the film was wearing that fruity hat in his first scene. Aside from that,the film IMHO was just an excuse to show the world what they could make in AfterEffects or whatever SFX program they use.

Giving himself a hard time isn't he? The script was a mangled disfigured mess apparently. The actors did great bringing it to life the problem lies in the fact that bringing it to life created a zombie rather than something well put together and amazing.

I quite liked it, thought it was good fun.
It's not his fault if the people who were nursing their nostalgia kept moaning...

I actually liked the film too. I actually didn't like LaBeouf's character in that movie, but his willingness to take blame for it has made me like him a lot more. And I think it was largely the writer's fault. There were just so many stereotypes in his character.

 

[RelexCryo]

I am one of the biggest Indiana Jones fans - the biggest certainly out of everyone that I know. And I hated the fourth movie with a passion. I'd rather watch a million Young Indiana Jones adventures than watch that thing one more time.

And true - it was the existence of LaBeouf's character that dragged the whole thing down a lot for me. But ultimately that has nothing to do with him and I don't see any need for him to apologize. No one could have made that work, Indiana really doesn't need a character like that following him around and trying to make it look like a torch passing event was a really bad move. If the studio really wanted to do something like that - they should have given us another Indiana and then moved into a new series of prequels casting LaBeouf as the Indiana from that time.

Not perfect, I know - but it keeps the crap outta my Indy.

I actually liked the movie, but I agree with your assessment of Labeouf's character and how it was more his character's design than his fault.

Recognizing that you suck doesn't make you suck any less.

 

[Snownine]

My least favorite part was the freaking aliens! I LOVE sci-fi and aliens in fiction, but it didn't feel right in an Indiana Jones movie.

 

[Mad World]

I think that Shia LaBeouf is a good actor, and I hope to see him in future films. I don't think that anything was really his fault.

I enjoyed the movie, but what I didn't really like was that

Spoiler

it ended up being about aliens.

 

[Nazulu]

No it's not your fault! You are a decent actor. It's just you keep getting shit hole scripts (except Transformers) and it makes any actor look bad.

The Crystal Crap is the writers abomination.

 

[Acidwell]

Unless the aliens were your idea then no it wasn't your fault.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........the movie runs on tired cliche's with sleepy script/plot/story telling its not bad but ya know...its not great.....

 

[Critical92]

i didnt mind mutt as much as i did mind the aliens, i didnt really come to see sci-fi :/
