The film’s storyline is overall the weakest of the four, certainly the least interesting. They spend too much time on little details that are ultimately inconsequential in the wider scope of things and by the time we get to where the film ends up it’s a hell of a lot less interesting and intriguing than it could and should have been.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is admittedly a big disappointment, for me and I’m sure a lot of others. I hate that they’ve lost that “Indy magic” that the others have in abundance and as a result I can’t think of this in the same way I think of the others. It’s entertaining enough to spend the time and money on, and just the notion of seeing the hat, the whip, and hearing that theme song in the cinema again makes it quite watchable. But it proves that you shouldn’t touch a franchise again unless you are going to do it justice, and this sadly doesn’t.

You sir, are a complete idiot. To actually notion the fact that Indy 20 years later (in real life and also in the fiction) should be what he once was, is an absolute disgrace to anyone in your community that has gotten older. I cannot wait until a child tells you are you are completely inept at your position as a writer because your left or right hand does not work so well.....That is a pity I will truly enjoy.

First off - did you not READ the warning above the place where you type your name when you comment? Take a look and then mull over if you should have typed what you did.
I'm going to address your point none the less though - did you actualy READ my review? Or did you simply glance over, read a sentence out of context and then took it the wrong way? I didn't say Indy should be the same after 20 years, I understand that times move on, stories and characters move on. But that doesn't mean you have to make everything with special effects to be in with the crowd of blockbuster films nowadays. A continuation of a series like this needed to FEEL like the other films, like I said at the end of my review - why touch a franchise again if you're not going to do it justice?
I hope "G W" that in the future you think before you comment and don't insult the writer of the particular article.
Thanks.
