Picked up the DVD.

Watched a couple of the special features...it's upsetting because I love a lot of the concepts here, but wish they came together in a more 'Raiders-like' fashion.

I even 'bought' the idea of inter-dimensional beings; it just needed to NOT come out of nowhere.

We should have had some classic Indy research scenes in the middle of the film to set up the revelation without having to expressly say it. Something like Indy talking to locals, learning more of the legend and history of the Ugah tribe.

Talking to Mutt:

"See, the high priests would hold rituals at Akator every hundred years. Brutal sacrificial rituals to appease the Gods. They'd bind the offerings' limbs with rope and use a ceremonial Obsidian dagger (showing one to Mutt), like this one, to cut the heart out. Legend says when the Gods were satisfied that the 'chosen ones' were pure, they'd explode from the air in a chariot of fire and consume the offerings in exchange for protection."

Not to mention they could have tied flying saucers into the plot much better; maybe keeping Indy in the dark, having him think that the saucer he recovered at Roswell was a Russian secret weapon, hence keeping him skeptical of the whole hocus pocus element the entire way.

Yeah, I think its fair to say this movie could have been a lot more. Although, I'm not sure it was Darabont's script that would've made it great.

i think a very Indiana Jones movie moment was when the Dean tells the guy painting on the letters to make it bigger. or is that just me?

I'm definitely conflicted. I know I'm supposed to want it, but I really don't. The mark of a bad film. :what:

Are you sure it ain't peer pressure? What with that South Park episode and all...

I remember my initial positive reactions to the first two Star Wars prequels were gradually undone (I came out of the theater glowing) by all the negativity among fans at the time of their release. But having left certain message boards and ignoring a lot of immature diatribe since then, I've come to see them in a more objective and fulfilling light.
