That god damn trailer's more popular than Uncle's Day in a whorehouse!

This might be a pretty early observation, but I'd say while 2007 was a banner year for independent, mid- to low-budget films, 2008 will be jam-packed with good ol' Hollywood spectacle.

The big names of '07 were PT Anderson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Diablo Cody, and Javier Bardem. '08 is Indy, Iron Man, James Bond, and The Joker. I'm a big enough film buff/fanboy to find that a nice balance.

I would call out last year's big-budjes as the McMovies: bloated, undercooked, unsatisfying afterwards. This year's flock look more like the sugary dessert at the end of the meal. But, again, it's early.

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Read some dismal pre-reviews yesterday from Cannes where the word is drifting out most negatively.  Plastic jungles and too many jokes about aging Harrison Ford's Jones.

If you can believe it, I've never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies and was surprised to learn this is the fourth.

I watched it last friday.

It was funny and exciting. I wouldn't compare it to Phantom Menace at all. I think this movie is Spielberg 100%. I know Lucas produced it and stuff, but I don't feel him in this project enough. And that's a relief because Lucas is done with the Star Wars saga and should be content with that (maybe sharing some of his money with me and you wouldn't hurt... Oh and JOHN HURT is in this movie and he rocks despite his pathriarchal age :)

There's a quite interesting, anticlimatic opening act.

It's basically a movie about aliens. So, if you don't like the genre, I don't see why waste your time watching it... It's set in 1957. Area 51, Russians, military secrets and alien stuff are crammed in it. Of course, there's a few nice action & humour scenes that are right there to please the Indy die-hard fans. A legendary one, in my opinion, will remain the jeep chase in the mexican jungle. It's an adventurous movie and there's also a mystery to be solved. Spielberg used the new technology in this movie to compensate what couldn't absolutely be done in the first 3 movies, which by the way I watched during my childhood and just liked because they were entertaining, not necessarily great.

I don't believ the CGI in this movie is bad and, by the way, there are only a few moments where it's used glaringly and it's naturally done on purpose. I also must say that this is one of Spielberg's best in years. This kind of movie is his best and I must say that he didn't manage to really amaze and entertain me like this since Jurassic Park (1993). Well, maybe he went close with WOTW, but the movies he's been making in the last decade weren't his most inspiring.

Harrison Ford does his best and he definitely doesn't look his age.

Cate Blanchet is the funniest villain I've ever seen.

Karen Allen is ridiculously comic and funny.

Shia Labeouf's character is a cinematic homage that mixes Marlon Brando and James Dean's character in the roaring movies of those years.

Only a few other words...

Don't overanalyze everything and just watch this movie, appreciate it for what it is. Pure entertainment.

"Gimme a donut!" (Coop)

Really? Didn't see that, only noticed the obvious Marlon Brando in The Wild One homage.

I'm a rabid Star Wars fan, but George Lucas needs to keep his filthy paws off film scripts.

Aliens...seriously...aliens?  This movie was almost as bad as the second (Temple of Doom) and that's saying a lot.
