being the original writer Conan Doyle could never write fanfic, just bad stories. ;)
I mean that while Doyle himself as a creator never could write fanfic about SHerlock Holmes he had the opportunity to write lesser tales about SH. Because generally fanfic is supposed to be a judgement value towards folks who write stories about their favorite heroes and are considered not as good.
except for the most important reason it is not: namely still written and directed by its creator George Lucas.
The DB5 was fan service in a fan fiction with fan logic :)
Lucas still gave in to the fans with the importance given to Jango/Bobba Fett and Yoda fighting. Fanfic stuff, just as much as the DB5 in Skyfall. Same with the presence of the two droids from the original trilogy, Chewbacca, etc.
Indeed it was.
But I have given up now. Maybe for another thread?
DAD was directed by someone who allegedly wanted to acknowledge the code-name theory.
The Raiders of the Lost Ark is extremely overrated! The plot is ridiculous and not very interesting. The action scenes are too drawn out and boring. The score is too grand, too generic and used too much -- it gets annoying. Harrison Ford is a huge dissapointment, and comes across as a cheap, dissatisfying copy of Han Solo.
Let the controversy commence! ;)
I'm exaggerating slightly regarding Harrison Ford. Slightly...
Other than that, I'm actually dead serious. ;)
Wasn't always for me, but it pretty much is now.
Hey- @Murdock, we're controversial!
'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' is a perfectly-cast, flawless film that is incredible from start to finish.
Anything goes! :D
Like Amy in The Big Bang Theory said, Indiana Jones is superfluous to the story: without him the Nazis still find the Ark and loose. He could have stayed home and nothing would have changed in the outcome. I think this is where Raiders of the Lost Ark fails. Otherwise I love the movie.
The first bit about the casting I can agree with. One of the best cast bad movies there is.
Wow! You actually beat me on the controversial scale there, Creasy! ;)
In other words, the film is trash. I like Indy's dialogue during the nuke scene, but the rest is a CGI mess with mediocre action, a ridiculous plot (and this is Indy we're talking about), and a horrid ending. Oh, and CGI animals. Enough said.
I suppose this may not be that controversial but I don't hate Crystal Skull.
However, Crystal Skull should have been Indy 5, not 4. The real Indy 4 should have come around 1997 or so- right around the time Ford was older, but not too old, like he arguably was in Crystal Skull. Plus a lot of flack Crystal Skull gets is from being 'too little, too late', or in other words not worth the wait. Another whole film in between 1989 and 2008 would have helped matters.
Good one @Murdock! Hahahah!
Hey, I love Raiders & Crusade, but Temple just has the ridiculous re-watchability factor slightly over them IMO.
;)
And Skull is not the stinker many say. The weakest by far, but given the choice of that or nothing, I'd choose it again & again.
I disagree. In a deleted scene (which you margue wether it's canon or not), it's revealed that on a side of the medallion there's a sign that reads "Close your eyes when you open the Ark".
Moreover, hadn't Indy interfeared, they would have brought the Ark straight to Berlin, where it would have been studied and used as a weapon.
