Indiana Jones and the Tale of the
Fork Tongued Critic!
May 25, 2008
So I just saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I don’t care what the critics say I had a good time. I’m always amazed when I’m reminded that Movie Critics and Political Pundits are really the same people. They try to be hipper and wiser than the PoPu’s but the reality is that they aren’t smart enough to remember that what they are critiquing is a movie; it’s not real. No matter how many times the skeletons come to life I was able to discern that they weren’t real. Since I know that they aren’t real why should the critic make a point of talking about how fake they are? Or how dull the storyline? Or blah, blah, blah?
I wanted to see a movie that was fun, exciting and a way to escape for a couple of hours not to mention total permission to eat junk food! Eating chips with cheese sauce and candy are one of the few things that are totally allowed at the movies with out any penalty. So watching any movie good, bad or mediocre is worth it just on this perk alone. I have at least gotten to the point that I don’t read the review until after I’ve seen the movie. It’s so much easier to disagree with them after I’ve done my own review.
As for my review, I loved it. Harrison Ford looks great and still has all of the spark he had in the previous movies. Karen Allen looks amazing and it was great to see her. Shia LaBeouf really has a bright future and he was just adorable. Cate Blanchett is as good as they get and I just love to watch her on screen I don’t care what she’s doing. I can’t imagine anyone who is a fan of the series not liking this installment. If they don’t then maybe they should become a critic and spend their days saying blah, blah, blah to all the PoPu’s.

Word to Big Bird!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMovies are to be enjoyed, not dissected in search of all the flaws the "stupid" movie makers, screen writers, actors etc "missed."
If every movie was flawless we would have unreasonable demands that could not be fulfilled....kinda like the Popu's....and other "change" agents......
