1. They woked Indy, stupid & unforgiveable.
2. Almost 3 hours long!
3. They killed Mutt, shameful.
4. The young kids don't even know who Indy is.
5. Skull killed Indy a long time ago.
1. He was retiring, depressed, and on one last adventure . what was woke about him.
2. 2h 34m (probably 2.25 without credits)
3. Good
4. So what, let them go see SuperMario and Barbie again
5. nah, no more than the prequels killed SW
The problem is Ford was simply too old. If you took your glasses off the de-aged Ford part of Indy was passable. But when you got to the old fart Ford the movie just didn't work. You can blame the ugly chick and trying to go woke with her... but if you are honest even if that part had been played by a man the movie would have still sucked ass because Ford was just too damned old to be taken seriously. Skull pretty much proved that Indy shouldn't have continued and not because of the alien shit but because the parts of the movie prior to the alien horse shit just didn't have the same magic of the previous films. It wasn't just Ford being too old back then it was more of the writers weren't trying to make a semi serious movie, they were making it an over the top cartoon... hiding in a refrigerator and surviving a nuke pretty much told you they thought the audience was just a bunch of 10 year olds.
shareMy expectations were so high for 08's Indy 4. I saw it in a theater in S. Korea and left so disappointed. The theater was packed with Korean kids and their parents, I think that's who the movie was for lol. I remember a few months later seeing Indy 4 DVD for rent at a local store. I instinctively started to reach for it but pulled my hand away quickly. That was the end for me.
shareThe last crusade had just as many cartoon moments as Skull ..stop fooling yourself...
shareNot saying it didn't have cartoon moments. Lots of shows have cartoon moments, the whole knight that never died bullshit was one thing... however it is more like the crystal aliens or the ark in the first one. It throws out a supernatural thing which is fine. You know it's some supernatural mumbo jumbo like dracula... but where Skull said fuck you audience was the god damn atomic bomb bullshit. Having him survive that was akin to saying Indy was now Superman and couldn't be killed by something that everyone beyond elementary school would know is going to kill your ass.
shareThe annoying feminist bint.
shareMy top 5 reasons
1. Fat Couch potato man children didn't go because of Kathleen Kennedy
2. Fat Couch potato man children think it is woke without even seeing it. (It's not anymore woke than previous installments I saw it so i know this for a fact)
3. Fat Couch potato man children's kids don't know who Indy is because their fat dads have been holding a grudge for 15 years and haven't let their kids watch it.
4. Film length was fine. It was not almost 3 hours it was 2 hours and 34 minutes. But too long for some middle aged Fat old guys to sit and not fall asleep in the reclining chairs. So they thought better to show up
5. See number one and add the last film to the statement.....
Oh I have a sixth one.
6. Half of Indys fanbase died off due to being fat.... 😂
Funny how men are the only ones to blame for a films box office failure.
What happened to equality? Women make up 50% of the population.
Doesn't that put some blame on women for this film's failure? Or are you a pure misandrist and it's always 100% men for all the problems in your life?
Especially when they put a popular actress from the womesphere in the co-star role.
Harrison Ford is old as shit and hasn't been a draw since the early 90's.
This feels pretty much like the blaming of men for the failing women's sports leagues.
Where are all the women supporting, and turning up to the women's league games? Don't turn around and blame the men for its failure.
The funny thing about equality in the roaring 20's is that it ebs and flows like water.
The Old Fat Man brigade generally were the ones bad mouthing the movie before and after it was released. Without even seeing it....
Because it looked bad. And the bad taste left from Crystal Skull.
At least they had a point of view and a stance. (but we all know point of views that differ from yours are comparable to crimes against humanity)
The women were silent and didn't show up.
Equality bro. 50% of the blame falls with them. Or even more because I'm betting more guys turned out for this movie.
I didn't think it looked bad from previews. Much better film than Skull. But I even liked Skull to a certain degree. Even the refrigerator... 😂
share'3. Fat Couch potato man children's kids don't know who Indy is because their fat dads have been holding a grudge for 15 years and haven't let their kids watch it.'
That one made me laugh 😂
🤣 AWESOME.
shareThis movie was LATE. That's the main problem. This movie needed to drop right after Force Awakens. Disney had Lucasfilm. They hype was alive and real. Force Awakens, while dumb, was something of a crowd pleaser and made a gigaton of money. Ford was back as Solo. THAT'S when you roll out the return of Indiana Jones. So many wells got soured between then and the release of Indy 5. They waited way too long.
shareTrue, it came out about 5years too late. Indy 5 was originally scheduled for July 2019 (same year as Episode 9) but it shouldve been fast tracked as soon as TFA did the crazy Avatar box office for like summer 2017/18 as Ford back as Solo was like the major reason for the huge success of TFA (presumably thats what kind of happened with Blade Runner 2, it was in preproduction since around 2011, but as soon as TFA came out it was done for 2017). also it would've had Spielberg directing had it come out few years earlier which would've helped sell it (he dropped out in 2020 bc by then he was too wrapped up with WSS and his deeply personal biography movie). So it wouldve rode that Star Wars/Harrison Ford/Lucasfilm resurgence era of 2013-2019 (like 1977-1984). And would've been pre covid/streaming..
shareI still can't wrap my head around why that didn't happen. Ya spent 4 billion dollars on this property. It only has two major franchises in it. Ya tee em both up. Don't ya?
