First off, I do not pretend to know anything about film making so I will not bad mouth the Directors and Producers, and second it is a good movie.
I read the first 2 pages of comments on IMDb and noticed and unbelievable amount of disappointment. Some people are saying that George Lucas should retire, another person said that he is not a filmmaker but power hungry mad man. Apart from the fact that whoever wrote that is a jealous prick, I have one thing to say. Lets see you do better.
Yes the fighting and running and action is illogical, but its Indiana Jones. Look at the first three movies, there were boats falling from planes on to mountains and then sliding down.
I believe that the greatest problem in the movie is the lack of understanding from the viewers. The series came out more than 20 years ago, that means we were all more than twenty years younger, a lot of the fans now a days were not even born yet. People change, opinions change. Twenty years ago when everyone was younger Indiana was more special because kids, teenagers liked to see heroes in completely illogical circumstances, its funny and entertaining, I mean who has not dreamed of being Indiana at least once. Except now, 20 years later, people are older, grown up so to speak, and thus with different expectations and opinions. Why do you think it is so popular amongst people who saw the movies as kids, than people who saw the movies as adults.
When a person asks an adult who saw the movie in 1981 as a kid, "Did you like Indiana Jones: The Raiders of the Lost Ark?" the response is, "I loved it!" When a person asks a kid today, "Did you like Indiana Jones: The Raiders of the Lost Ark?" the response is, "I loved it!"
Maybe Spielberg and Lucas out did themselves, or maybe it is the viewer, the fan, the customer that should be blamed.
