It is difficult to describe how UNDER-whelmed I was by last night's viewing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Don't worry; I won't give out any spoilers. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the supernatural/magical theme of this one (not too far from lightning shooting out of a golden box or people pulling still-beating hearts from chests).

No no.

The crappiness of this film is related mostly to the overacting of Harrison Ford and Karen Allen. They reminded me of actors in a high school play desparately trying to make sure that people at the back of the theater could see that Karen was happy or Indiana was sad. Relative newcomer, Shia LaBeouf, of the immortal movie Holes, was BY FAR the best actor on the screen last night. I might also add that the escape scenes bordered on the absurd (they give James Bond's escape in Goldfinger a run for its money).

I know most people will still go see it and they should. It is an OK movie. I would just recommend not changing any plans to go and see it.
