Wow, that's GORGEOUS! Thank you.

Do you still have that somewhere? My quick search didn't find it for me. Struzan's work is SO COOL!

SPOILER TALK: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Pieter Boelen replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
In a way, I can see what you mean. The story is nothing earth-shattering. It's really "just" one other adventure for our hero. But that's exactly what I wanted out of it, so I'm happy. It didn't need to reinvent the wheel for me. Not much subverting. It's just a straight adventure. I recommendb watching it. This is our last chance and I reckon it's worth making the most of it. I can see that too. I was quite surprised to see the main villain for once did NOT have a gruesome mythical death. In fact, I don't even remember how he died. It was wholly forgettable. But that's not what this movie is about. I liked seeing Ancient Greece. And meeting Archimedes was SO COOL! My friend did notice it's on the more violent side. Certainly compared to Skull. That's indeed a bit of a plot hole. But I guess in the world of Indy, they could exist? Certainly not so crazy if you consider the types of things that happen in the Novels as well. -
He went in completely unspoiled. I had been keeping up with all the developments, except reading the Cannes synopsis spoilers and reviews. I am a BIG BIG Indiana Jones fan and he not so much. He's more loyal to Star Wars. And he tends to be more critical in general. Me, I'm just a sucker for fun adventure stuff. I even like the 1985 King Solomon's Mines. THAT low? What movie did he watch?? Make up your own mind is my recommendation. I honestly did not notice anything offensively horrible. Unlike Crystal Skull, which really has low lows.

A quick Google search found me quite some decent ones. There might be more if you have a look too. But at least it's a start.

Ah.. Indeed that wasn't too great. I didn't know Moffat had anything to do with that one though. Thought it was still RTD.

Wut? Which one is that?

SPOILER TALK: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

It did indeed make a lot of references in a short time. In a way, I enjoyed it. And was happy to hear Temple of Doom wasn't left out either. The complete edition will have to teach us how much original music there was. I couldn't quite tell in my one viewing so far. I'm glad I knew what to expect before going in. Otherwise might've been distracted too. -
Good! Time to put Dark And Dreary Modern Movie Syndrome behind us at last. Fun is allowed again.

Can someone make (any) matching set including the games too? Fate of Atlantis, Infernal Machine, Emperor's Tomb, Staff of Kings?

Not EVERY second. I definitely heard original material too. -
Just came back from watching the movie. It's fun! I like it. The OST does a reasonable job representing the movie. I didn't notice anything major missing. On the other hand, yes there IS a lot missing. I would've preferred more from the opening, the Tuk Tuk chase and the finale. All of those are only partially complete.

Indiana Jones is my #1 favourite series. I just watched the movie and I like it! Looking forward to seeing it many more times, along the other ones. I don't know why anyone would have major gripes with it. But my friend who was with me didn't like it much either. Well, you can all be crazy for all I care! I'm just grateful we got another fun adventure! -
Just came back from watching the film. Indiana Jones IS better than everything!
