Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

What a disappointment. But, I am glad I saw the new Indiana Jones movie.

If you are a George Lucas fan, like me, you may wonder what happened. The three original Indiana Jones movies and all the Star Wars films have been classics (Star Wars: Episode 1 had some issues, but still made some sense). This "Indiana Jones 4" made no sense. It had the action, but not a good story. It is nice they moved on to the 1950's and had the "Russians" but it didn't follow the storyline of the original three.

Spoiler Alert--STUFF THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE
1. US Army base taken over by Russians in just minutes
2. Indiana surving nuclear blast in refrigerator
3. Mudd sword fight with Russian girl on uneven terrain in opposite vehicles
4. Aliens...what was this about?
5. Man-made crystal skulls now supernatural?
6. No MUSIC SCORE!

Where was Indiana Jones' whit from the original three movies? Indiana even had Han Solo whit in the Indiana Jones original movies.

I don't look to see this movie number one in the box office for more than two weeks. I hope next time George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg take a hard look at the screenplay.

This movie had the feel of Miss Congeniality 2, which was pure awful.

I give the movie: D+
