2008-05-26 06:57:01 I haven't seen it yet, but does it actually survive a blast, or a bit of fall-out a good distance away? If it actually survives a blast, then are you joking Mikeey_kakashi? --- |

2008-05-26 08:33:21 And it's far from the most over the top moment in the film.. hell it's down right tame. |

2008-05-26 08:38:33 In reply to Ronsauce (2008-05-26 06:57:01) Not only does it survive the blast, but Indy survives being thrown a mile away from the blast zone. A man of his age at the very least would have a shattered pelvis, broken arms, legs, and a concussion. In fact, the rest of the movie afterwards should have realistically been Indiana Jones and the Retirement Home. Probably would have been more exciting. Could've even had him sneaking into the cafeteria for some extra apple sauce, clutching his hat before the pantry door closed! --- |

2008-05-26 09:09:22 that silly Indiana Jones. He could have just used the duck and cover method under one of those tables throughout the house. That would have been more believable, I mean at least that method they taught in school. *Flash* DUCK AND COVER KIDS! --- |

2008-05-26 18:10:32 To be honest, the other films had ridiculous as shit survivals too (the raft from a crashing plane thousands of miles in the air) |

2008-05-26 19:34:22 And I never got why Short Round fell through the bridge. I mean, he said it, that was STRONG wood. Clearly, yet he fell through. Completely unrealistic. --- |

2008-05-26 22:39:47 Umm...ghosts that melt faces? --- |
| Ronsauce Since 1078 Days |
2008-05-26 22:55:19 The the thing is, in a movie where ghosts are a reality, them melting faces is less absurd than surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge. I can suspend disbelief regarding certain things and end up being entertained instead of insulted, but it's not always the case. --- |

2008-05-27 00:50:08 Nah, the nuke was sorta funny--funnier than the silliness of a fucking flying saucer! The Shia LeTarzan scene was perhaps the most retarded moment in the film though.. outside of Ford's last little bit of dialog in the fucking flying saucer scene. That was just classic Lucas. |
| TheBeagle Since 698 Days |
2008-05-27 17:30:41 Right. So, just ghosts then... I mean, I don't see how they are more believable than aliens. Don't get me wrong, I'm purely defending this on the basis that all of the films have some ridiculous stuff in them, I still hated the martians. --- |
| Ronsauce Since 1078 Days |
2008-05-27 17:57:14 I just find that there are different degrees of what's acceptable and what's ridiculous. The raft bit from Raiders, while unrealistic, is acceptable within the reality that the movie creates for me. The fridge bit just crosses the line though. Some people just have different thresholds for what is entertaining and what is insulting. --- |

2008-05-28 03:51:13 Sweet Jesus. That was absolutely terrible. It was actually worse than The Mummy. --- |

2008-05-28 05:23:21 In reply to GriftGFX (2008-05-28 04:24:40) I think the nostalgia is what hurt the movie(in addition to it just being downright bad). If it had different names and faces, I could've just written it off as an attempt at an entertaining popcorn flick. Unfortunately, it basically took the Indiana Jones name and dragged it through the mud. --- |

2008-05-29 11:06:48 I enjoyed it as a movie, some of the scenes (especially the motorcycle chase and the car chase) gave me the old Indy feeling. --- |

2008-05-29 12:18:05 it was better than temple of doom. |
