Oh Jesus. (sorry religious types, but it deserves a vain call). “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. Even the name sucks now that I think about it. What was George Lucas, and Spielberg thinking? They certainly kept the retro 40-60s thing happening, but that’s all that could be considered consistently good. After ILM cranked out Transformers and Ironman, I would have thought that they would be able to wrangle sweet compositing work in their sleep for this film. It was terrible. I think it is first technically obvious during the stupid jeep jungle chase scene.

This movie kinda sucked a bunch. A fight movie with two Jocks fighting for glory or some other worthless cause? Yeah right.. I didn’t really get what the protagonist’s motivation was. He was super bummed that he let his drunk daddy crash a car, so how he likes to beat guys up to let his rage out?
Some other karate jock invites him over to a party to brawl, and he gets his ass beaten. The whole story is him training to seek revenge on the jerk. It was seriously so shallow I don’t even have that much to say about it. The slow motion punches with face distortion was sweet in vfx, but hardly cutting edge. Nothing was great.
Lame, lame lame. I wish I could see something that doesn’t suck lately, so I could be over-hyped and excited at it again.
