I just saw this. If you come out thinking it’s just okay, you don’t really know shit about movies. I had high expectations for this from the start, and it surpassed all of them. I place it between Raiders and T2 in my top 3 action movies of all time.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Based on all the insane praise everyone everywhere is heaping on this, I’m guessing I will think it is just okay at best. Sigh.

A lot of that mid section is just dead. Temple and Crusade are both vastly superior; they really had the “formula” down perfectly with those.
I agreeLoathedVermin72 wrote:Here’s a Raiders opinion nobody shares: I can’t stand Marion. I think she’s waaaaaay more annoying than Willie. I would have much rather seen Willie become Indy’s permanent love interest. It would have been cool to see her progress as a character.
Also, I am sad that Short Round never returned.
