Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Cyrstal Skull
What a depressing movie. Such a great franchise allowed to become a dull, limp, pretentious snooze-fest. Harrison Ford looks like he's sleep walking and I don't know who decided they should model the action after "The Da Vinci Code" instead of... Oh... I don't know... maybe... "Raiders of the Lost Fucking Ark"! That was a terrible choise. Indy is now a brainy know-it-all. Shia LeBeuf is an unwelcome intruder, but how they allowed him to be named "Mutt" is beyond me. Even the action scenes, which are few and far between, felt lame and uninspired. Lots of fistfights, mostly. There's one extended car chase that is probably the main set piece, but it looks like it was shot entirely in front of a green screen. And the story, such as it is, doesn't hold a drop of water. This is just a gigantic disaster.
