Sandor 797 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 These aren't spoilers. That would be the same as considering the title of the movie to be a spoiler. I would suggest residing on the island Wakauti the coming months if these things freak you out. And you guys aren't going to see the trailer when it comes out I guess. I mean, yeah - it's going to be full of spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Considering past Indy villains have always been cut from the same evil but somewhat cartoony vein, Blanchett's look isn't all that surprising. Her haircut does look rather odd, though. The warehouse is a little telling, but it's nothing we haven't heard before.That comic book cover is pretty darn good.

John Crichton 4 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Interesting article, though really nothing we haven't heard already. I still feel that crossing Indy into a sci-fi/alien world is not true to the style of the previous films, but everything I've heard since production started has made me more and more positive about a movie I'd been very dubious about for years, so I'm willing to give it a shot. And as Lucas said, it does fit with the 50s timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 797 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well, I'm a Lucas defender, but these quotes make me cringe:“People who are over 40 love [Episodes] IV, V, and VI and hate I, II, and III. Younger people like I, II, and III and don’t like IV, V, and VI, or they like I, II, and III better and think IV, V, and VI are kind of boring and slow.““I know the critics are going to hate it. They already hate it. So there’s nothing we can do about that. They hate the idea that we’re making another one. They’ve already made up their minds.”“The fans are all upset. They’re always going to be upset. ‘Why did he do it like this? And why didn’t he do it like this?’ They write their own movie, and then, if you don’t do their movie, they get upset about it. So you just have to stand by for the bricks and the custard pies, because they’re going to come flying your way.”What a whiner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 797 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I think Lucas is wrong about critics and the 'fans'. He speaks in such absolutes that it comes across as bitter. Oh, and he doesn't seem to have much faith in the project. As if he is already preparing for something. The 'critics' hated Titanic before it came out, but the film was generally regarded as a commercial (of course) and artistic winner, even winning many awards.

Sandor 797 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 But i have seen several people here argument why Indy IV is not neccesary, to put it ligthly.Well, Lucas was talking about film critics, who - from what I read (exceptions are always there of course) generally anticipate Indy IV and are even excited about it. I think Lucas is afraid the critics will go all "medieval" on the film once it's released (like they did with TPM) and therefore likes to enforce the idea that critics hate his movies even before they are released (and thereby compromising any critical comments they might pose). The truth is, critics were willing to give TPM favorable reviews back in 1999. They certainly did not hate the film before they saw it. And had the film been LOTR-quality, they would have hailed TPM as a modern masterpiece. Lucas is wrong in this case. He is - as Mr. Cosman already mentioned - employing a strange self-defense mechanism here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been hating the prequels just because they aren't as good as the originals. But in a world where tons of movies were made "inspired" by the originals, it's really difficult to be as origianl as the OT, especially when its the same genre, the same story. . . .I mean, compare RotS to something like Independence Day.

Red 75 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I really don't know what Lucas is complaining about. I've heard very little negative buzz on the film, even on this site (to a degree). Any apprehensiveness comes from the fact that Indy hasn't been around for a while. Lucas should feel lucky, because it's one of the most anticipated movies of this year.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 indy4 - hoping that's sarcasmHe is right.ROTS is a mess. Not as much a mess as AotC though. Acting is lacklustre - Hayden is atrocious once more, Nat is boring and even Ewan can't stop overacting. Not to mention Ian's bad, hammy performance as Sidious. The music is pretty good, but chock-full of some lowlights (vaguely-ethnic wailing woman, tracked Arena music etc). Every scene in the movie takes itself so seriously that it's impossible to do so. No-one was ever supposed to take SW as anything other than fun.ID4 doesn't take itself seriously. It knows its boundaries. The acting isn't the best, but heck they look like they're having fun. Will Smith is enjoyable, Bill Pullman tolerable and Brent Spiner is brilliant. Finally, the score is one of David Arnold's best, one of his three crowning achievements (Stargate, ID4and Tomorrow Never Dies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
