| Indy rules! |
Me and my mates aswell as my girlfriend and her mates loved the movie...it was funny and full of comic action! Loved how indy escaped the nuclear bomb. I loved the sci-fi themes paying homage to 50's sci-fi flicks. Why couldn't my college/uni lectures have been as fun as Professor jones! I for one loved the star wars prequels and my 17th month old son laughs at Jar Jar....and I, as a big kid really enjoyed indy IV...so much so, i saw it twice! A must see film of 2008...can't wait for hulk a More

| This was always going to make money |
The movie was going to open big no matter what the quality of the film was and sadly this is a pants Indiana Jones movie! It'll be interesting to see if it has legs after a couple of weeks as judging from the reaction of fellow fans I know we like many others wont be rewatching this one! More

It could have been ridiculous, it could have been disappointing but it was just a great entertainment moment! Yeah, the whole space ship is a bit too much but who cares ! Indy's not young anymore and doesn't whip like before but who cares! You are just happy to see him again. The team hasn't forgotten the references for the fans and it feels great!
Only dark spot maybe is Karen Allen. Should have lost a few pounds ... More

How impressive! It was inevitable that it would gain a large opening weekend profit. But really 300 million dollars, thats what, 50 euros? Lets see how the UK opening weekend does, where real money is involved ;) More

| wait till next weekend |
It was always pretty certain that the movie was going to do massive business in the first weekend. I'd imagine the real test will come next weeked when we see how much of dropoff it suffers. Word of mouth counts for a lot, and a lot of it will be negative if the reviews thread is anything to go by. More

| Well... |
I agreed with Empire's 4 star review and gave it the same rating myself <a href="http://minute44.com">Here</a>
It's no great surprise that it took that much money either... Hype alone meant it was going to be a gigantic, fedora wearing cash cow. More

Great! I haven´t seen the movie so far, but chances are good that I won´t in the next 6 months or so (or ever), because I don´t feel th need to anymore. I should stop going to movie sites, where there´s enough caring members to give away MAJOR SPOILERS. Jemba, I guess you´re young and full of life and want to tell everybody your opinion, I understand that, but you simply ruined my day. But don´t worry. Some Chris Campbell (the site´s name I don´t remember) More

Yes! I knew it was going to be a success! It goes to show you that after nineteen years, people have waited and waited until this one day that the new Indy film was relased and everyone will deeply adore it. I know I will when I go and see it next week and let you guys know what it's like! More

| RE: great news |
This specific MacGuffin is not likely to happen, purely because according to the "Lost Journal of Indiana Jones" that is out now, they seem to be accepting the LucasArts Adventure Indiana Joens and the Fate of Atlantis as canon (for anyone who's not played it, you MUST). It's currently out of print, but *cough* SCUMM VM *cough*...
There's also a Dark Horse comic adaptation which I believe is currently in one of the omnibus graphic novels available at all good retailers...

I have to say I left the cinema a little deflated. For the final third of the film I kept thinking, why have you gone down this road. The bearded one should know better.
It's an entertaining ride for the most part but some moments just spoilt the fun. Mutt for example - fencing, swinging and must be wearing a cricket box on his nads to avoid getting jelly legs.
The old films had the adrenaline rush, the dangers of being live action. Green screen just doesn't cut it. So what if a character More

| Very Disappointed! |
I saw this film yesterday and I was deeply saddened that two brilliant directorial minds (apparently) managed to come up with this steaming pile of poo! I mean yeah, it's watchable, but Indiana Jones isn't meant to just be watchable it's meant to be death defying stunts i.e. having your face millimetres away from being smashed in by the tracks of a tank, not standing on two non-moving trucks in front of a green screen and having your jkanckers tickled by a bush - Shia LaBeouf shame on you!!!

This movie? PSH! I think I will buy the indy trilogy dvd boxset and ignore that this happened. which is a shame because except for 3 scenes i thought it was a half decent attempt. those three scenes? ill say "fridge", "tarzan" and "x files" and i think people will understand
completely agree with those ridiculous 3 scenes. Although rather than a half decent attempt, I would say I absolutely loved the rest of the film. I More

I really enjoyed this film. Sure it could've been better but it's not half as bad as alot of people are making it out to be. Oh well, some people like to review films and some people like to criticise them. More

| Indy 4 = Marmite |
The film clearly has it's flaws but I think some of the criticism leveled at the film is a little over the top and exaggerated, some fans having been swallowed up by their own hype machine and spat out inevitably dissapointed. Personally my expectations weren't too high, I was actually pleasantly suprised and in the end thankful for another episode of the B-movie inspired pulp adventure series. Perhaps 3 1/2 stars would be a more accurate grade, the 5 star award system is too constrictive and ca More

First time I have gone against Empire, usually you are so bang on.
I even didn't mind the star wars prequels even though they were aimed at kids (except the last one it seemed)
