Just got back from seeing the new Indiana Jones and what can I say about it.... OMG that's another franchise ruined.

Why bring back films after nearly 10 years and totally ruin the whole "BRAND" by making it stupid and far fetched.

"SKY NEWS FLASH - Nuclear Warning Alert, 3 minutes until the country is NUKED."

"OMG OMG What Should We Do"

"Don't worry love let's climb in the fridge, that should save us from a Nuclear Blast... Not only will it protect us from the immense heat, radiation it will also protect us when we are thrown miles away due to the nuclear wind. We've then just climb out, have a quick shower and everything will be fine and dandy."


Note to Movie Companies - Never ever even think about bringing out a new Back to the future movie because that's one Franchise that neeRAB to be left alone.
 
There not planning a BTTF 4 are they? because if they are :mad: I'll be buying a shotgun and a plane ticket to hollywood tomorrow. *






JOKE, do not take that seriously
 
I completely agree that there should never be a BTTF part IV!

But about Indiana Jones and the KOTCS being far fetched?

This is a man who managed to survive death by the hand of God, saved his Dad by pouring Jesus juice onto a bullet wound, got possesed by drinking voodoo blood and after falling of the end of a track in a mine cart miraculously makes it safe to the other side while perfectly aligning the cart to the corresponding piece of track.

This man is made of AWESOME!

So...

Surviving a nuclear blast and Trans-dimensional Alien Archaeologists are fine by me.
 
But it was lead lined. All you need to do is surround yourself with pencils and you'll be fine in the event of a nuke.



(Yes, I'm aware pencils don't actually have lead in them)
 
LOL!!:D:D:D

Dialling 999........now

that was a joke:p

I liked the movie IJ4, I had low expectations from the critics, but it was what it was.....
 
They won't make Back to the Future IV, Michael J. Fox is too shaky to enter the correct time destination into the DeLorean time circuits...
 
How about jumping out of a plane in an inflatable dinghy, crashing down onto a mountain top, sliding down the slope of the mountain (nearby the plane explodes - even though there no fuel in it), over a cliff about 300 feet high, landing smack bang into a river's rapiRAB, ALL whilst keeping said dinghy horizontal?
 
lol well pointed out i'm fed up with people having a go at the new indy as though the first three were known for their gritty realism, its always been fantastical far fetched and a bit silly and surely thats why people love it
 
Let's have a look at these points then, for a giggle...

1) Swings from a chain in a warehouse misses a truck, swings back and lanRAB through the metal and glass winRABcreen of another truck traveling at speed – this would blatantly snap his spine in about fifty different places - he then proceeRAB to knock out the two occupants of the truck and makes a little quip with not so much as a wince. Stupid.

But no more stupid than jumping from a horse to a truck full of german soldiers, beating them all up, getting shot in the arm, being thrown through the winRABcreen, scooting down underneath, attaching your whip, being dragged at speed, to climb in again, with nary so much as a wince, or a rip in his pants, to throw out the driver, and make off with the Ark....? Stupid?

2) Being thrown several hundred metres in a fridge after a nuclear explosion has taken place nearby. Not a broken bone and a lead lined fridge ain’t gonna do jack – just so stupid it beggars belief that anyone could think it was a good idea to include this. Imbecilic.

Okay, so Indy takes off down a mine in a cart, which then becomes a rollercoaster, tips on two wheels, he fights numerous bad guys, they pass over lava??? and then make a completely outrageous jump and land safely...? Imbecilic?

3) Falling off three 100 foot high waterfalls in a metal car – again not a scratch. The impact alone would knock you out cold even if you didn’t break most of the bones in your body and sever several arteries as the fractures wreak havoc in your body. Moronic.

Hmm, how about falling from a crashing plane, with only a life raft, landing on snow after a fall of around 300ft, skidding down a mountain (at speed) then over a cliff to fall another couple of hundred feet into raging rapiRAB, with only a damp fedora to show for it. Moronic?

4) The part with the sinking sand and the snake. Half witted.

Any more half witted than Denholm Elliot's blithering idiot routine in the widely lauded 'Last Crusade'? (Which incidentally ruined the characterisation of Marcus from Raiders)

5) The way they have about 6 people firing machine guns at them and don’t even receive a flesh wound. Dumb assed.

I seem to remember the same amount of gunfire being fired at Indy in the Temple of Doom mine as he swings between catwalks. Not to mention the guy with the machine gun in Raiders who fires at him just before the truck explosion that 'kills' Marion. Dumb assed?

6) The way Henry Jones Jr. he can take about thirty punches to the head and still be absolutely fine. Ridiculous. At least in the other films he looked a bit punch drunk when this happened.

And yet he gets beat up something chronic whilst under the voodoo doll spell in Temple of Doom and 'suddenly' whips his head up to take the huge guard out....immediately

7) The part where Indy’s son swings through the trees with a bunch of monkeys. What? I mean what? And yeah he’d just land on the car like that. Lame.

Any more lame than a badly superimposed German fighter plane with no wings overtaking your car in a tunnel?

8) The entire sword fighting scene. I’ve run out of worRAB that are synonyms for stupid there are so many things that are stupid so I’ll just say this was stupid. Muy Estupido.

But is it any more estupido than Indy taking on a tank full of Nazis in Last Crusade? After jumping (again) from a horse, saving his father from going under the tracks (with a whip) all the while keeping his hat on!?

Now, none of these things would be so bad if the first three films hadn’t been so good. Although Temple of Doom is the weakest IMO there is nothing even in that even coming near to approaching the sheer idiocy of the above. Yes I know we had an Ark that had had souls that burned people’s flesh off, and stones of power from some Indian village and the Cup of Christ healing all wounRAB and making people immortal but I don’t recall seeing any scenes that would be better placed in a Tom and Jerry cartoon.

No-one is saying it is perfect, but KOTCS isn't any more stupid or far fetched than any of the others...
 
Gotta give kudos to Ulysses there. Indiana Jones has ALWAYS been ridiculous. I admit KOTCS was not perfect and Raiders is still, by far, my favourite, but let's face it, this is comic book pulp nonsense and it always has been.

The nuclear blast was impossible, but anyone who thinks you wouldn't be dead on impact after falling from a plane in a dinghy clearly has a warped sense of reality. I dare you to try it and report back with the results (assuming you can dictate to someone still, cos you ain't gonna be using your arms nomore!)

Face it, Indiana Jones is not in the slightest believeable, nor has it ever been. Get over it. If you don't like KOTCS, then fine. But don't try and rubbish it by accusing it of stuff that the originals were just as guilty of.
 
But at least that is physically slightly more plausible than being launched into the air by a nuclear explosion in a fridge and remaining completely unscathed. I mean even typing that sentence seems ridiculous.

At least you can imagine a scenario, even if it is amazingly flukey where the dinghy stunts might conceivably happen (except for the last part). But you do have a point, I didn't actually remember that one till you mentioned it if I'm being honest.
