Finally saw this film, and I liked the storyline a lot. The action sequences were quite good, the music, as you said was fresh as well as giving us quotes from the first films.
The most chilling sequence in the movie for me was the nuclear test in the Nevada desert. It was so real to me as I’ve seen footage and read reports of tests just like this. How Indie gets himself out of that situation is…interesting. All the actors were great, and the ending was a nice surprise.

CJ: Glad you liked it, Muse! Wasn’t the music great? I was starting to wonder if Williams was past it but I loved his work here. The only small disappointment was when I bought the soundtrack; the music’s still good but they’re not the tracks I would have chosen. There’s nothing at all from the Nevada warehouse scene which was so memorable.

The nuclear test was very chilling… I did wonder about how Indy escaped, though. Perhaps it was actually that Indy had drunk from the Holy Grail (in the third film) that saved him? It was a lot of fun, so I’m glad most people have liked it, even if it is different to the others… now the question is if there’ll be a fifth film! Indiana Jones and the Grandchildren of Doom?

Hey CJ!
Wow, I’m glad to hear that it is a good film. I was afraid after all this time they would go and wreck things – I think I’ll go see it soon – though knowing me, I’ll wait til it’s out on vid. Nice review.

CJ: Thanks, WC! I was worried they’d wreck it too; I thought they might call it Indiana Jones and the Retirement Home for a while. I enjoyed it, although not everyone has; I know Simonne didn’t like it at all and I can see some of her points. I think you’d like it, though; and if you miss it, it’s only a couple of months to the DVD! You can control the volume then too.

[...] but I thought that this movie stood out decently all on it’s own. Something a dear friend CJ wrote about on his own blog when he reviewed the movie and had me leaving comments on it, was that I might just enjoy the movie all on its own, which I [...]

CJ: Hi Nikhil, hope you enjoy it! Been a long wait, hasn’t it? I’d say to try not to hype it too much if you can help it; you might enjoy it more then. Thanks for stopping by.
