What did he say?
It is, so I'm not aware of any cases where a director has actively lied about it. Previous Indy films have notably featured them of course, like the bike chase in Last Crusade, where everyone's hair grows an inch in a couple of seconds!
He says he did a little work on the ending, which could easily mean as part of the main shoot. The YouTubers very much take 'reshoot' to mean that everyone was called back to reshoot significant parts because of the complaints they made about too many women being in it etc.
I'll be seeing this film before you will, should I come in here and type out the plot, and then say 'well you didn't ask me not to' when anyone complains? I won't do that of course, I'll be mindful that folks want to enjoy it for themselves.
If everyone else thinks I'm wrong and we should specify 'no spoilers please' with everything, then I'll accept I'm wrong.
I love how people say they don't watch YouTubers but then freely quote or say they are saying a certain thing. Re-shoots can happen for many reasons, preview audience feedback, some sort of omission that needs to be addressed. Re-shoots have been around for a long time. Films that go into production hell often will have many either due to audience previews, or producer pressure, or studio pressure.
One week to see for ourselves what kind of movie this is! I remain forever hopeful that this can be a great sendoff for a pop culture icon!
I think it's fair to say, even at this stage before I've seen a single frame, that this film is going to be bad.
I'm predicting I'm going to enjoy the first 20 minutes, then despise everything that follows, because all the criticisms that are being thrown at this film are everything that I hate about modern Hollywood these days - Marvel action, too much CGI, PC box ticking, feminists taking over, male hero turning old and miserable, script by committee.
Tom Cruise is the only saviour left these days, such is the sad state Hollywood finds itself in now.
The YouTubers who go on and on about hating all this recent stuff but watch and analyse it relentlessly?
Being aware of what someone says because it’s quoted in this very thread is not the same as avidly watching all of their output. It’s a logical fallacy to think that awareness of something one doesn’t like somehow undermines that opinion. I’m aware of what Trump says, that doesn’t mean I support him or watch all of his rallies.
They can, but the director said they didn’t do any, there’s no reason to disbelieve him. We do know that the original shoot lasted about a week longer than expected, maybe they did revisit a scene or two during that, it’s not unusual.
Anyway, here’s a lovely music video for that Williams piece from DoD. I did actually stop watching this as it’s full of nice clips from the film, and I decided I didn’t want to see any more of them! But you don’t mind as much then it’s a nice watch:
Regarding the original ending from what I have read and heard I am grateful they changed it.
All of the big stars in Hollywood are getting old. Cruise/Pitt/Depp/Reeves are approaching 60 or over 60.
Cruise is looking a bit worn out. Photo from London premiere of MI 7
Cruise arguably looks 10 years younger (he's 61 next month) but you can't stop time. I hope he isn't making MI films into his 70s but Stallone has just made Expendables 4 (out late summer) and he's 76.
His face looks strange.
I guess what I'm saying is maybe it's better to quit the action film genre in your 50s?
Maybe - and I'm a hypocrite for saying this.. a 70 plus year old Pierce Brosnan Bond film - Bond recalled to the 00s - could have potential but as a one off film. Never repeated. But overall I don't want to see Indiana Jones/Ethan Hunt/Jean Luc Picard, John Wick/Jason Bourne/Batman etc old.
There are plot spoilers in this review, they both gave a 7/10 rating.
Also, personally I have no problem with the f word, but in the forums?
Grow up, people.
+1
That's the way I feel about Indy and Bond...........more the better. Even so, you still feel it when the pacing is off for both. Regardless, I look forward to seeing it again.
You're on fire with the Indy stuff.
It really looks like they had fun making this film. Sometimes that translates to the screen, even if there are negative reviews (like there always will be) I wouldn't be surprised if the film isn't a hit with a more general audience. After a couple of years of doom and gloom across the globe, sometimes we need a feel good adventure from a trusted, and beloved character. Indiana Jones might well be one of those people to let people just have some fun at the movies.
I guess we'll see.
