I saw this last weekend (Sunday May 18) and thought it was pretty good.

There wasn't much CGI in this movie actually. Spielberg wanted it to look old - so it was filmed on film (non-digital) and used real stuntmen and little CGI (excluding the final scene).

I saw this opening night...

The first half of the movie: classic Indy...awesome...some really inventive action, great camera work, and some genuinely funny bits...old school film-making at its best....

The second half of the movie: similar, but a lot more uneven...with some really preposterous things thrown in...a little too over the top in parts...(tarzan vine swinging??....really??)...and more cheesy one-liners...still - entertaining and a crazy ant attack sequence thats this movie's melting face shot from Raider's....wicked.......

Overall:...a lot of fun, and entertaining, and the movie is paced really well...but suffers a bit from an uneven second half.....definitely worth seeing in the theatre

the CGI gophers (seriously...fucking giddy laughing GOPHERS?), Shia Lebeouf imitating Tarzan, those horribly CGI monkies all fighting Russians (Yes monkies fighting russians!) The whole waterfall sequence was entirely CGI...the jungle chase was filled with obvious CGI backgrounds.

That horrible looking CGI Alien? yikes indeed.

And did anyone notice that everyone's face was very bright? Very strange lighting in this movie.

If I'm not mistaken, ILM was tasked to do the CGI in this film, due to association with Lucasfilm, etc... and they've never really been too incredibly fantastic at making real-life-looking CGI.

I just saw this tonight and i agree with everyone about the 1st half and the second half.. over the top at points.

I was not impressed by how unrealistically they survive some of the things they go thru.

such as...

A) Could a person really survive a nuclear blast from within a lead fridge? I mean common!!

B) Wouldn't the impact from the water at the bottom of a waterfall kill any person??

C) IS everyone really that bad at aiming guns???? of the trillions of bullets fired in the movie... practically NONE hit any flesh.

let say its possible, but no way in hell anyone can survive being in a fridge being thrown around like that without becoming human slush inside that casing.

You know, I saw this movie last night. I have to say, I tried my damned best to suspend my disbelief. However, therein lies the problem. A movie should operate in such a way that suspending disbelief is an unconcious process.

I have to say, there were so many times where I just couldn't stop a small chuckle - tarzan, fridge, 40 men 4 yards away missing even the car with their AK47s, yadda yadda... it had all the elements of indy, but little of the charm. Simply too many cheese moments. Classic Lucas pandering to an audience he belittles with assumptions of childishness.

Sad.

5/10.

I didn't even find it that entertaining, which is the only thing I was expecting it to be.
