I didn't get anywhere near giving away the ending. I merely described the characters and their motivations, which I hate to say, isn't complicated. He's Indiana Jones. he punches Nazis. This isn't complicated.Dang, Joe. You just gave the movie away. After your recap of the movies the other night, I started at the first one last night and was gonna watch em all again before the latest stream came out. Now you gave it all away. I tkink anyweay. I stopped reading when it looked like you were gonna throw out spoilers.
I think somebody got permabanned once for giving away the end of a Star Wars movie on here a long time ago. Or maybe it was Star Trek. I forget. lolol....
Like Star Wars, I prefer to remember great films at their peak, not geriatric old coots milked back on screen just to tease a few dollars more from fans, so I cut off Indiana at his Crystal Skulls just as I cut off Star Wars with Lucas' original six.
Far better to just see greatness again in 4K UHD than Indiana and Hans Solo in a wheelchair.
Hmmm.
Here's the thing. Harrison Ford is kind of my Generation's John Wayne. My dad loved John Wayne movies, even though by the time I was growing up, Wayne was a fat old man living on past glories, getting a sympathy Oscar for True Grit because they thought he was going to die.
Should he still be doing this at 80? I don't know, I thought he looked pretty cool as Indy. (I don't have quite as high an opinion of him as Han Solo in the SW Sequels, because I think he was phoning that one in, and the sequels are awful for a whole host of reasons that I could fill pages with.)
I like this movie BETTER Than I liked Crystal Skull, because frankly, a Flying Saucer doesn't belong in an Indiana Jones Movie.
