Is she related to Miranda Frost?
DAD was alright.
I'm afraid hoppimike I can never take your opinion seriously (not that I ever did) after such a comment, all this criticising Skyfall and you say this, oh dear me.
Your opinion on cinema is your opinion but it doesn't stop it from being a complete joke.
I just didn't find either of them particularly bad or good. They both had merits. I enjoyed Indy 4 more than DAD though.
Skyfall did more things that actively DISpleased me, that's why I didn't like it (and still don't, but I'm starting to try to consider it on its own merit now at least!).
CR & SF are CERTAINLY better movies than Indy 4, but that won't stop some folks (like me, for instance) from flat out enjoying Indy more. But TLD? There Indy 4 loses badly IMO.
:))
One heaping big mass of stinking hot manure.
Agree 100%. Either he is a troll here to wind people up, or his opinion on cinema is, as you say, a complete joke.
The thing also unlike Bond pretty much the same people that contributed to Raiders being a masterpiece of action adventure cinema also with some exceptions were responsible for the steaming pile of excrement that is KOTCS.
For me that will always make it worse, it's in the same as league as those dreaded prequels, Bond was already on a drop, Crusade is nowhere the disaster Skull is.

Surely if it was so completely worthless it would have a lower rating like a certain bat-turd

Great stuff! Perhaps you like Batman & Robin too?
Why doesn't that surprise me.
I'm not a slave to Rotten Tomatoes personally, Crusade is like watching a completely different franchise in comparison. That film got such an easy time of it and never was savaged by the critics, Empire gave it 4 stars for instance, some films just get under the radar it's only later people see them for what they really are so no that rating means nothing.
Look if you like watching under achieving pale shadows of what they used to be then be my guest, though you are a Brosnan fan so I guess you must. Sorry but I couldn't resist.
If I held to never liking 'pale shadows', my Bond DVD collection would end at Thunderball, my Star wars collection at A New Hope, My Trek collection at season two, my Indy collection at Raiders, my Robocop collection at Robocop...
:-?
Wrongly surmised I am 40 years of age, Raiders is without doubt for me better than any Bond film, it's pretty much perfection and along with Jaws shows Spielberg's real genius unlike the more weighty pictures of his latter years. The 2 following sequels are very entertaining.
TOD isn't perfect but apart from all the voodoo it's just fine, Crusade is an improvement but never touches the original, Skull was just a travesty and to think the same director was involved with all 4 films, it doesn't even feel part of the same series let alone look like it. I hated the film from the one and only viewing at the cinema, I own it as part of the Blu ray boxset but I doubt I feel the need to soil my eyes with it again.
As I get older I find I have less patience for rubbish, you might want to watch films over and over again that remind you of your childhood, personally a good number of the Bond series are now quite embarrassing to watch, a number of these films I loved as a child but I've never been a big one for nostalgia, as for Robocop I love the original but buying the collection would be a waste of time as the sequels just get worse as they go on. My Blu ray collection is considerable and I would say barely any of it is pale imitation with the exception of some sequels that are part of sets.
I've recently had to started wearing glasses but they aren't rose tinted the last time I looked.
Nah I'm not big on Dark Knight. Not huge on Batman in general though.
Love Inception and stuff much more!
That pretty much explains why.
One thing I will say about Dark Knight is it is another film with a highly overrated villain. Bane is so clearly a henchman that the big surprise twist is no surprise what so ever
\:D/
*snif*
I blame Spielberg for allowing himself to go along with Lucas, i read Crystal Skull was a idea Lucas had for some time that Spielberg was not keen on at all. It was probably fun for all involved, simply as a reunion though its really is poor and sorry Marion made it even worse soon as she appeared on screen. What was going on when she just aimlessly starts driving that car boat like a lunatic :-)
For me it's an appalling last story of how Indy & Marion get together. Karen Allens sassy, intelligent character from Raiders is reduced to an embarrassment; constantly getting captured (along with everyone else), uttering awful lines, making eyes at Indy and then having such a mastery of the laws of physics that she can drive a car off a cliff with sufficient precision to land in a tree that she has already calculated will perfectly bend to its weight and land them all safely in the river! If she's so smart how come she didn't notice the roar of 3 massive waterfalls ahead? But then I suppose she had already calculated that they would all survive 3 successive drops without a scratch.
And of course all of this shite is rendered in lovely CGI not the real stunt work that Speilberg promised.
F**king abysmal.
