I mean Indiana is old now...so times needed to change from the 1930's when the other films were set. I don't know if you could survive being inside a refrigerator like he did. However, none of that matters. The point is that it was a good story and we got to see Indiana happily married at the end. I also like that he has a son. This gives him a kind of fulfillment that I thought he was lacking.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-34397748019068421222011-12-12T08:49:58.371-08:002011-12-12T08:49:58.371-08:00I think the only way you can really enjoy this mov...I think the only way you can really enjoy this movie is if you didn't grow up on the original Indy series. This one doesn't fit properly. Maybe it's Lebouf--and Bill makes an excellent point about the fact that the kid isn't hired to look competent-- so it's even more inexplicable that he'd be cast as Indy's kid. <br /><br />I didn't mind the whole alien thing, though it also didn't feel consistent with the rest of the series. But it added to the feeling that the whole story was contrived. It's obvious it was only meant to pass the torch to another generation (and hopefully another leading man) but it was so hackneyed and poorly done. It certainly didn't have the charm that introducing Indy's dad did.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55282503134540185.post-87248437656727586952011-12-12T07:22:06.498-08:002011-12-12T07:22:06.498-08:00I actually refused to see this movie because of al...I actually refused to see this movie because of all the bad reviews it got and I didn't want my love of Indiana Jones tainted!
