Indy!

Let me weigh in on the whole Indiana Jones debate - an argument that seems to have split the nation.
First up, let me just say, I didn't realise Indiana was such a legend! I mean, i watched Temple of Doom about 5 times in the cinema when I was a nipper, but the level of anticipation for the new movie has really surprised me.
So then the new movie - I really liked it! It's cheesy, it's silly, there isn't much element of danger - but you just have to go with it, and it's a lot of fun. People are crying out about it as if Lucas and Spielberg have mugged their mom, but I just loved the old-fashioned nature of the film - the look was so classy.
I didn't even mind it when Shia started swinging through the trees!
The unexpected revelations at the end were maybe a bit too far-fetched though...
It's just a bunch of fun. Kinda annoying when things like the disappearing staircase get resolved so easily - 'ooh let's just jump down' - er, well no, you should really fall on a spike...
But it was a cool cinema experience - which started off with a bunch of really exciting-looking trailers - Wanted, eagle Eyes...
