Nobody has!The older Sean Connery gets, the more charisma he has. With Ford it seems to be the opposite. That's the whole meaning behind the words "old and grumpy".Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Aaahhh....the GuardianIt's true that Ford never seemed to have much to say about the SW films.Nothing is more disappointing then Ford sleepwalking through a role he lost interest in decades ago.In Indy 4, you got the impression he gave a damn.

A24 4,331 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Ford cares a little bit too much in Crystal Skull. Ford used to underplay, now he overplays. I like him better in Raiders, when things didn't seem to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 No, I prefer his Bogart Treasure of the Sierra Madre styling in Raiders, which he dropped for ToD.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hmm, I think he blends into the wild madcap of it all wonderfully.

Datameister 2,041 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 No, I prefer his Bogart Treasure of the Sierra Madre styling in Raiders, which he dropped for ToD. Ford played Indy almost as a noir character in parts of the original. Lawrence Kasdan is fucking brilliant for writing him that way. Well said. This is a big part of why I vastly prefer Raiders over the films that followed. There's a wonderfully subdued iconicity about Ford's performance. The character changes so much after this film.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Selleck has resorted to Just For Men I see, and it does take years off. But Solo never struck me as being incredibly vain man.I had wondered (back when Crystal Skull was in production) how Ford might look if he dyed his own hair. But then I remembered he's a real man. Well, apart from the ear stud. But it was either gonna be that or a Harley, and Ford was always going to go with the less showy option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
