Great Movie!
I know it's a cliche, but it's an even better book. I found the movie a little disappointing by comparison. Still worth watching though.
Been doing the blockbuster thing lately. Indy was great to look at and had some good moments but I agree... you reeeeeally had to suspend your disbelief at times. Sure the other films had some outlandish moments, but the tarzan moment is ridiculous. The film just didn't have that magic you go to see these movies for.
On the other hand, Iron Man totally worked for me when I saw it a few weeks ago. Despite the whole "look, there's yet another Audi" advertising element. Downey Jr is one of the best alter-egos in comic book cinema history. Funny, believeable, likeable, rogueish. Again, despite the drawn-on moustache. And the story works. DESPITE the hackneyed dirty-Arab-bad guy premise. See it on the biggest screen you can if it's still playing.
and that's something that hardly ever happens to me with movies.
