Indiana Jones Strikes Back
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Well it’s been a while since I saw an Indiana Jones Movie, but I ventured out (along with millions of others) Memorial Day weekend, to see what was being served up.
I loved the old Adventures of Indiana Jone’s movies and the fact that this was a Spielberg/ Lucas production made my anticipation more intense.
In some ways I was disappointed and in other ways satisfied. I felt that I had grown accustomed to seeing really slick special effects and that unless some effect was innovative or really well done, I would be bored with it. Such was the case with the new Indiana Jones movie. I just couldn’t get too excited watching him going through his seemingly unbelievable stunts and mind boggling escapes from the perils he would get himself into.
Despite my criticism about being somewhat bored with the effects, I did enjoy the way the movie was done. The writing was tight, cinematography excellent and the direction of course was outstanding. It was also nice to see how well Harrison Ford aged and it was inspiring to see his ability to put so much energy into his role. All in all, I would have to say I enjoyed it and it was pleasurable spending two hours and forty-five minutes in the world of Indiana Jones.
