If I have to hear Tom Hanks trying to figure out where he is ever again, I will never watch another one of his films.
I must be missing something but this movie goes nowhere.
Even worse than the Duke's.
It's over

In the film, John Hurt says "So much of life is wasted in waiting". Can't think of a better statement for this God-awful movie.
Downey and cast provide a lot of fun, along with superb effects, but it doesn't soar to quite the same heights of the first.
Suffers from Genre Confusion

Okay, Mr. Lucas, intellectually, I understand what you claim you were trying to do here. If the first three Indy movies were an homage to 1930s adventure serials, then 'Crystal Skull' is an homage to 1950s sci-fi B-movies. Okay, but the problem is, you're still making an Indy sequel, and the two genres don't blend well. Add to that the over-use of CGI (digital ants are just not creepy like REAL snakes, giant bugs or rats), and this kinda fun movie just falters.
We needed this flick 15 years ago, before the idea of what an Indy film should be got so diluted.
Lame, lame, lame

Brief periods of decent action and tries to be compelling & fun as the former films -- but the overdone, over-the-top action sequences just ruin these movies for me now! Can't you make action/chase scenes with some of the gritty and quasi-realistic flavor of the first Indy, and not be so "Matrix" ridiculous?

Apart frm couple of sequences where we see the director's talent , the movie is not attractive. Two bones would be ok.
Where was Short Round?

Hey, Dr. Jones, what happened to your adopted son, Shorty? What did you leave him back on the streets of Shanghai with Willie Scott and a promise to return after you went out and grabbed a pack of cigarettes? Not cool, man. Not cool.
Boy what a cast of weirdos. If you like guns then this film is for you. Theres lots of people getting shot, people shooting at stuff, and the obligatory nudity, drugs etc. I felt like this movie could of been so much more. It was hard to follow and I had to watch it a few times to understand it better.
The Coens always get crap for their comedies not living up to Raising Arizona, but really what can? Ladykillers WAS lacking, but Intolerable Cruelty is really, really fun. Fantastic goofball turn by Clooney, sharp as a razor dialogue, and the death of Wheezy Joe is a cinematic classic. Great movie.
Much like Fargo but set in the deserted plains of south Texas instead of the barren tundra of North Dakota. But even better, and with an ending that can't help but leave you wondering.
nice movie
Definitely the best movie of 2007; as soon as it was over I wanted to see it again right away. The best Cohen brothers movie ever made, and one of the best book-to-movies ever done. Period.
happened at the end?? other than that...quality movie.
. . . the movie is great.
