Indiana Jones - Crystal Skull...
Discussion
To quote Kermode, has Shia Le Beouf made a good film? He was particularly awful in Crystal Skull, Ray Winstone & John Hurt must have enjoyed the big pay day, and Kate Blanchett was in a strange dodgy haircut, strangely arousing dominatrix role. Ford showing his age, franchise was best left alone, plot and last 20 mins boringly unoriginal and I saw it coming the entire film.

The biggest problem was the overused CGI. Everything just felt fake, even at the very start when they're outside the hangar and pull Indy out of the trunk of that car. It all felt like it was filmed against a green screen.
I wish filmmakers would realise that CGI isn't the be all and end all and go back to actually filming in proper locations, building proper sets, etc.

I wonder if at least part of the problem is that some of the audience (i.e. us) have changed.
I can remember watching the three earlier Indy fims and enjoying them immensely - I saw them all at the cinema and had a 'treasure chest' box set of all three on VHS.
I watched 'Raiders' recently and honestly thought it was s

100% agree, part of the charm of the original films was that it actually happened, Harrison Ford was chased by a big boulder, the temple in Temple of Doom was actually built, okay there was some CGI in The Last Crusade (the Zeppelin) but for the most part what you were watching wasn’t filmed in front a of blue screen. Film makers have got so lazy!I wish filmmakers would realise that CGI isn't the be all and end all and go back to actually filming in proper locations, building proper sets, etc.
Oh, and what’s with Spielberg’s obsession with Aliens!!! Not content with ruining AI he goes a throws them into Indiana Jones too!!! I’m sure a director’s cut of Schindler’s List will appear where all the Jew’s are rescued by Aliens.
