Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Dvd offer?

Nah, that's so bad every print should be buried in landfill.

Pierce Brosnan's "singing" could be saved to prise confessions from suspects at Guantanomo Bay but they'll have to get in quick before Obama's inauguration. ;)
 
LoaRAB of harsh opinions around on this, but I really do feel it improves on repeat viewings. I really enjoyed it at the flicks to be fair, but I did have concerns it wouldn't be so good at home. Thankfully, I reckon it's even better on DVD. I take people's criticisms for sure, but I still don't think it did anything drastically bad at all.
 
I think the deal breaker for a lot of people is the point where Raiders of the Lost Ark segues into Close Encounters of the Third Kind for no apparent reason other than Lucas & Spielberg losing their collective minRAB. ;)
 
Well it's set in the 50's and is a homage to all those 50's B movies, plenty of which were about flying saucers and aliens so they do have reasons for taking that direction. No problems with the alien stuff myself, fits in perfectly with the ethos of the 50's. The themes of the movies are fine if you ask me, just badly executed in places.

I watched it again the other night, I still have the same problems, I actually really loved the first half of the film, probably more so than the first time I watched it, second half is a mess though.
 
I had no real problem with the nuclear test/fridge incident, the Tarzan escapade and the Alien involvement, as others have said it fits in with 1950's B movie themes.

But the one thing that I didnt like, and it actually really bothered me was, as you say, the way they turned Marion into a grinning idiot.
 
Given the film was awful the aliens were the least of its problems. (especially given most people thought the first three films were great and they contained angels, magical voodoo type tribes and an immortal Knight.)
