A classic hero returns., 13 May 2008

Author: johnnymacbest from United States

I just came back from a pre-screening of the fourth Indiana Jones movie and I say I enjoyed it IMMENSELY!!! Wow, for years now I thought that after "War of The Worlds" Spielberg has lost his touch; not so here. Here he returns to the basic fundamentals of the lost arts of practicality and just plain good old fashioned genuine storytelling (something that's solely lacking in today's CGI-heavy world) helped along by the big guy himself Harrison Ford along with witty and charming Shia LaBeouf as a newcomer to the franchise with George Lucas lending some support to cinematography. Ford is simply amazing as the venerable adventurer with lots of impressive stunt work. Everything is bigger and better than before, the action is of high-caliber, the plot is thorough and exciting with intelligent writing coupled with awesome special effects. But what really surprised me was that it looked like it was filmed in the 1980's; something that's rare in this Digital Age!!! I'm sure those accustomed to digital film-making may be put off, but it actually works really well and gives the film an added dose of nostalgia and sense of wonder that Spielberg brought so successfully in his past films. Not many films can achieve that feat, but I can strongly say that Spielberg has gone out on top and brought back one the most beloved cinematic heroes around for one more time.

I'm enthusiastically awaiting a sequel with open arms.

Great film, 13 May 2008

Author: TehRaven from United Kingdom

A fantastic film from start to finish. I was lucky enough to catch an advance screening over the weekend and I was amazed at to how the team was able to make yet another Indy film. I must say I had my doubts but they were swiftly brushed to one side.

Fantastic action sequences and tense moments really drove home the action portion of the film, whereas the sentimental emotional scenes really got me.

In my opinion this is probably my second favourite Indy film, which it should hold in some high regard as the previous three are firm favourites in my movie library.

Absolutely sublime from start to finish

Sorry about the caps, but it's exactly how I feel about "Indy IV." It's a masterpiece -- an amazing movie. It gave me the same experience of emotions when I watched the original trilogy. It's just great. Now, I don't want to spoil any of the surprises or carefully planned twists, so I won't divulge anything about the movie. (Although if you really want to find out about the movie I think you can.) This is just my opinion, but I think this is going to be THE blockbuster of the summer season. This is gonna trump anything that comes out from May to August. It's just a great experience. Lots of laughs, action. The chemistry between Harrison and Shia is too much (in a good way). I'm glad I caught a screener. I'm probably going to watch the movie again.
