    Im excited, although the trailer looks like it has alot more CGI than was originally advertised, which is disappointing.

    Should be a great flick. Who doesn't enjoy Indy kicking the tar out of the bad guys? :)

    Sorry, but this just looks absolutely terrible. Considering Harrison Ford hasn't sniffed a decent movie in over a decade, I'm gonna pass.

    Maybe on video or if the word of mouth is good.

    And yes, Juno was awesome. :)

    The funny thing is, I was having deja vu when posting that.

    What's going be to even funnier is when I post next month about how excited I am for this movie.

    The only thing that makes me nervous is the potentially excessive CGI. That's how Lucas ruined the recent Star Wars movies to me - wooden acting & poor writing is tolerable (just look at the original trilogy), but the whole thing just looked so damn fake in comparison. The miniatures, models & creature costumes in the originals were awesome.

    I would completely disagree with you on that. Great story, dialogue, character development, and acting, together with great set design, and wardrobe are what make great movies.

    Notice I didn't mention soundtrack in that list? I feel that most movies rely way too much on their soundtrack to build a mood in the film (with the exception of musicals).

    I slightly agree with you on something else, though: special effects are best when CGI is not the primary source of the effect. CGI is best when it is used to enhance physical effects.

    I brought that up strictly in the context of fun "popcorn" movies like the Star Wars's and Indiana Jones's.

    I disagree with your characterization of Star Wars as a "popcorn" movie and I also disagree with your assertion that the acting in the original trilogy was "wooden."

    OK, not wooden. There was some awesomely bad dialogue & some awesomely cheesy delivery (Mark Hamil & James Earl Jones, I'm looking at you, especially). They're still great, but they are what they are.

    Disagree at will.

    Okay. Just as long as you remember that I'm right and you're wrong. ;)

    And this is why my sig will never change. It never goes out of date.


    I agree with Buck that the acting and dialogue in the original was nothing special, but it wasn't terrible (though cheesy at parts). I also greatly prefer miniatures to CGI.

    The new trilogy was just all kinds of bad. Too much CGI, terrible script, terrible actors, terrible everything.

    There were more miniatures/models created for each of the prequel movies than for all 3 original trilogy movies combined. You'd be surprised.

    I wouldn't worry about the new Indiana Jones - Spielberg is usually minimalist when it comes to effects.
