They were funny, but I disagree with the first, the new indy was great :)

i agree, i loved how it was about magical crystal alien skulls and my favourite part was when Even Stevens swung through the trees with monkeys to attack a nazi :D

You may have heard of the saying "Jumping the shark" to indicate when a film or TV show goes off the rails in a totally new direction. Indy 4 went so far off the rails that it brought us a new idiom... "Nuking the fridge". :twak:
Indy 4 was SUCH a let down that I am now boycotting George Lucas films. Yes, this includes Star Wars as well.

Sure, I can understand Anakin slowly descending into the dark side but the end of SW:Ep3 where James Earl Jones has to say "Padme??? NNNNOOOOOoooooo!"... that just ruined the franchise for me. This coming from an avid follower of Star Wars since he was 4.

And don't get me started on the end of BSG S2... that jumped the shark so much, it could be a show at Sea World!

Excellent poster find :D

Indy 4 was a bit of a letdown but it was ok. I rather liked Transformers, it was just good fun though I tend to hate Michael Bay movies and the poster sums up his general, er, style.

Maybe you weren't paying attention but there were no nazis in 4, they were soviets.

Ok let me get this straight, most of you didn't like indy 4 because it was far fetched????? I suppose an alien cyrstal skull is a bit far fetched compared to say a device for talking to god that makes people melt, or a knight who is several hundred years old sitting in a room protecting a cup that makes you immortal.
What the hell were you all expecting when you sat down to watch an Indiana Jones movie?

Too right, it's a laugh, pure entertainment, not a documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed all the Indy's, 4 included for their actual intent. Shia whateverhisnameis annoys the hell out of me but that's something else :)

Yeah, think about it man! Like, in temple of doom, indy got zombified with strong coffee and one guys heart was taken out without a scratch!

That's realism man!

Or the first movie where by closing your eyes you hide from gods divine wrath, which was locked in a box!

None of this "weird" stuff like the holy grail or some sh*t like that...no wait :p

Not to mention Loud Noises was awesome, can't wait for Loud Noises 2 - More Explosions especialyl since, no shaky cam.

I didn't think Indy 4 was as entertaining as the originals but I've seen far worse.

I really liked Transformers though :eek:

Have to agree with the Transformers one, or it could have said The Labeouf movie with some random robots in the background that has nothing to do with the orginal feel of transformers. Theres a reason its called Transformers its supposed to be about them with the token Human added. Not everything told from a Human point of view so when a transformer does show up you only see a friggin leg or arm because the cameras are still looking at the humans.

I know thats a bit long for a movie title but it works.

Nah ideal tag for transformers "Ever wondered what would happen if you filled a tumble dryer with tin foil, well wonder no more!"

They've finally realised the fact that Trannies aren't real (in the movie)and you can shoot them from any angle at any speed and show anything you want :lol:

Think you'll find they've known that for years ask teedles, I hear he has an extensive collection of those types of films :)

IJ4 was fucking shit, pure and simple. Horrible film but I did have high hopes and i think that Ford was just in it for the money and fuckall else.

I'd rather have been mugged for my £6.70 and then had my mouth shat in by said mugger, than watch IJ4.

I bet all the IJ4 haters think that the dark knight was cinematory genius, with absolute no flaws and was the best thing that came out of hollywoods anal this past decade :p

Hope not actually.

That film needs a new poster "Joker - and that's about it".

Dark Knight was certainly a much better film than IJ4. Yes the Joker did steal the film and quite rightly too.

Joker always steals everything, any show, movie, bit. Just does.

It could have the lead singer from Abba as Joker and it still would be good entertainent.

But in this case i have to say that the second batman rode the joker card a bit too lazily.

Yeh - l really liked Transformers. I am looking forward to the next one.
I nearly didn't get to see it as I was told it was a 'boys film'.

Bah-but I persisted and ended up sat inbetween two hunky men. Who were so debonaire that they took me to Fleet Services caff for a coffee after(which I believe Richard actually paid for Ed?) Pure class my mates.

So yeh, a very entertaining film which made me want to be Megan Fox.
