Josh500 1,615 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think TOD or Last Crusade could also be ripped apart by making a similar "top 50 reason it sucks list " if someone really wanted to write one.K.M.Yeah, I agree. In fact, I think you could do that even with Raiders, or any other film for that matter. This person obviously didn't like KotCS, but it would be just as easy if he didn't like any of the IJ Films.You couldn't do that with ANY movie, but certainly with any Indy movie.

John Crichton 4 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Just because a movie has flaws doesn't mean I'm not still going to enjoy it. Anything can be nitpicked to death if that's what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'm not "blindly accepting," and I'm definitely discriminating, and I loved the movie. Yes, it has tons of problems . . . so what? You want to explain to me how Indy survived that submarine ride to the island at the end of Raiders, or how he survived falling out of an airplane in a raft in Temple of Doom, or how Short Round knew fire would bring him back from the dark side? I could go on, but why would I?This, to me, is a case of the good vastly outweighing the bad. Yes, some of it is silly; yes, the story/screenplay doesn't have the focus that it ought to have; these problems do not negate the rest of the movie, and the insults from some of you folks on the negative side are starting to become tiresome. Nobody's opinion is a consensus, and nobody's opinion is a good excuse to start calling people blind.Mythbuster was unable to prove or disprove that the raft wouldn't succeed, mainly it depended on if the people stayed in the raft. As for Short Round there is a sequence removed from the film that provided the answer, it doesn't help what made it on screen but there was a logical answer?

Jay 37,364 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 yea! A Fate Of Atlantis movie would have been way better than making a Indiana Jones movie about fracking aliens...Now I want to play that game again, great game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
