150) That picture is hot in an intensely disturbing way. This Christian gives you the go-ahead for whatever fantasies you want to engage in. (P.S. JudasxJesus OTP)
168) Are you kidding? First of all, the rest of the franchise was not cheesy, just Temple of Doom. Black magic cults = GTFO. Second, how does the new movie have the same principal actors? It doesn't. The only people who are still there are Indiana and Marion, and she doesn't even show up until the middle of the movie. Sallah is nowhere to be seen, Henry Jones Senior is dead, MARCUS FUCKING BRODY is dead. The sidekicks they introduced in this movie, excluding Mutt, are totally unsuccessful in provoking emotion from the audience because we have no connection with them. Even Mutt is cheesy in his own way- OMG INDIANA'S LONG-LOST LOVECHILD PROTEGE was so transparent, but at least he actually appeals to the audience rather than relying on some unseen backstory with Indy to provide his character depth.
Third, alien skulls aren't any more far-fetched than the other artifacts from the first and third movies (again, disregarding Temple of Doom because it sucked worse than this one). They're just more cliche. Aliens are some of the most overdone plot devices in movies. Holy artifacts are original, at least. How many movies can you name of the top of your head that feature the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail? And how many can you name that feature aliens?
It's not as if there's nothing to like about this movie, because there is. The action scenes were great, especially the motorcycle chase. The carnivorous ants were great. Mutt and the way he compared and contrasted with Indy were great. Bringing Marion back was great (until they went and married her and Indy off at the end- definitely NOT following "the same basic formula"). In fact, nothing was really annoying about the movie until the last twenty minutes or so when it started getting totally out of hand. This was not, all things considered, a bad movie. It just didn't live up to the Indiana Jones legacy, which is why people are bashing it so much.
