Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett)

Comments for death : Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett).

I didn't mind the principal of aliens in an Indiana Jones film, particularly since the film is set in the 50s and there's very much a sense of The Day The Earth Stood Still (the original, not the upcoming Keanu Reeves remake (God help us)) and scifi was a big part of the era.

My reviews at ThatGuywiththeGlasses.com!

I can't see any similarities in look, feel or plot to The Day the Earth Stood Still (a film I'm rather fond of by the way).

I don't object to the aliens per se, but they featured too heavily for my liking. There was just no subtlety. If they'd merely hinted at alien artefacts, perhaps focusing more on the Nazca plains (which have plenty of scope for archaeological mystery) and left it more open ended as to the alien involvement I wouldn't have had a problem.

Put another way, I went to the cinema to see Indy, not some graphics of transparent aliens and flying saucers.

I actually liked the movie, but mostly because it was an Indiana Jones movie, and I liked the others The only smiley that had a purpose was the whip. I personally thought that this death was an awful lot like General Grievous's death in Revenge of the Sith. Both characters burned up, both characters had fire come out from their eyes. VERY similar. Also, on another Indiana Jones related note, when I saw the Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, at first I thought I was seeing the trailer for a fifth Indiana Jones movie. I think that the Mummy series is a huge rip-off of Indiana Jones.

You did see Indy though - he was in it from pretty much the start. The transparent aliens appeared at the end, as did the craft. I could say have said "I went to see Indy, not a holy grail that ages one rapidly". Of course I wouldn't say that, as it would be stupid.
