The problem with Ford is that over the last decade he’s pulled out of potentially Oscar-worthy roles like the role Michael Douglas played in TRAFFIC. And he would have been an incredible ‘Matt Scudder’ in Joe Carnahan’s adaptation of the Lawrence Block novel A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES.
But then he turns around and does FIREWALL.
I’m glad that out of all the mixed reviews for INDY 4 most seem to agree that this is the first time he’s been this alive and engaging in many, many years.
Well hell, so long as George Lucas kept the fuck away from the writing of the dialogue, I don’t much care what the critics say, either. I’d love to see this movie.
Although it does raise the question “When is George Lucas going to come up with something completely original that has nothing to do with Indiana Jones or Star Wars?” Seriously, his last writing credit that was completely unrelated to either of those was Radioland Murders. In 1994. And before that? Willow in 1988.
I saw it this weekend. I didn’t like it, the story was retarded and got too silly and amounted to people running around in front of a green screen. until the refridgerator thing I was lightly amused but after that it just went downhill. Lets hope that Lucas will just retire already.
You guys should definitley vlog this, I’m curious to what your reactions were.
I didn’t like it, but I didn’t hate it either. It’s not my type of movie (went to see it anyway for some reason), but Indiana Jones fans wouldn’t be disappointed I’m sure.
Ford said he didn’t care about the critics, not the movie.
Yahoo is on its death-bed. The sooner it folds the quicker.
True, but given the quality of the movies Ford’s made in the last decade the copy from Yahoo! is unintentionally funny.

Since when is 80% positive reviews mixed?

Saw it yesterday. It had some great moments and some very, very bad moments.
But I enjoyed it overall.

Heh. That’s pretty funny. Nice find. XD

Well, almost a week later and the movie has completely fallen apart on me.
It seems every day that passes I find new things to hate about it to the point I’m at now, where I’m almost at PHANTOM MENACE-levels of anger.
This movie was sloppy, moronic and on the level of THE LOST WORLD in Spielberg’s filmography.
Thanks George, you worthless toy-making cocksucker!
