Indiana Jones 4 Review!

Harvey, Riz, Prak, Munshi, Maran and Faizal met up today on the opening day of the hugely-anticipated Indy 4. We got great seats at Orchard Cineleisure and were all set to go with large popcorn, long hotdogs and some fried chicken.

Now to the review. Well, if you're an Indy fan like me, you'll come out a little disappointed. Indy 4 is not a bad movie, it's just that it's probably the worst of the 4 so far. There has always been some form of magic when it comes to that Hat and whip and though in some parts the movie is downright exciting, somehow you feel that they should leave it as it is, enough of Indy for now.

Harrison Ford is good as usual but his supporting cast does let him down a little. There was too little oomph from the villain (I think the giant ants were the scariest thing in the show) and his sidekicks. But let's face it, this movie is a Summer blockbuster and if you leave your brain at the door and take it as one giant roller-coaster ride, you could be in for a very good time. Stock up on the popcorn and drinks, don't think too much about the plot and I think it's worth a watch in the cinema, but on weekday $6.

So for that, the movie gets 3 out of 5. Go read up on the Mayan civilization in South America before you watch the show. You might enjoy it better that way.
