SF1_freeze 131 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The Indy IV score did NOT suck.... (i would really like to know what drove you to the conclusion that it sucks) The score was very good, not great but a very fine and worthy effort for an Indiana Jones film with a lot standout pieces, a wealth of new material butalso some boring underscore (but the other ones did have that too)And just please stop the worthless and unjustified Indy IV and Starwars Prequel bashing. They wouldn't have been that successful and loved by lots of people (maybe not on this board but in general)if they were so bad like most on this board propose...(Spielberg still can, he made Minority Report and Catch me if you Can in the 2000s and i consider them better than Close Encounters and a lot of his other films done in the 80's and 90's ...and i even like most of Indy IV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Um why the sadness that it's a remake, Mark (in the original post)?Name me one Spielberg movie that was original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 On that note, I think someone possibly mentioned it before, but I think MOBY DICK would be a great project for SS. No one's done a satisfactory adaptation at all (KHAN aside), and the scale of the piece and the heightened emotions within would really match his sensibilities. And it'd be great to have another seafaring JW score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1_freeze 131 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Moby Dick would be awful and boring... I don't think anyone would be interested in a story about hunting down a tremendous whale. Not very complex and probably not very epic. That was maybeinteresting 40 years ago but not today with films like 2012 in the cinema.You don't make money with an underwhelming whale hunt if there are dozens of epic effect films out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It's not that Indy IV is a bad film. It's not that bad. But it's a very AVERAGE movie. Spielberg + Lucas + Ford + Williams, etc. = an average movie??? Something obviously went wrong there and it wasn't fan expectations or whatever. Of course we expect a good or even a great film. Look at what came before it! Alas, even Harrison Ford's performance was all over the damn place. It's like they were having such a good time at the family reunion they forgot to make a good movie. They just went through the motions, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yes heavens forbid we have an adventure film that isn't all explosions and Michael Bay editing.Although given Spielberg's recent habits, Ahab spares the whale and everyone returns to port happy and safe.

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I think Always was still better than Indy IV, Munich and War of the Worlds. Combined.That has to be one of the most....wrong statements ever put on the interwebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
