I don't consider myself a hater of 'Crystal Skull' but I was and am VERY VERY VERY VERY disappointed.
So tonight, I decide to watch 'Last Crusade'. This is the first time I've seen it since seeing 'Crystal Skull' and I thought to myself...WHY couldn't they make a movie like this again??? Why didn't they even try???
I guess I'm a violent person or something, but one thing that pissed me off was how 'Crystal Skull' had no Edge whatsoever! Just watching the tank scene Indy knocks off 20-30 Nazis, blood flying everywhere, people getting shot, crushed, smashed, trampled. It was awesome!
So then 'Crystal Skull', first of all Indy kills one person in the entire movie...or so I thought. In my Biology lecture the other day we were talking about Curare, a plant poison that South American's would put on blow darts. Interestingly enough, Curare doesn't kill, it temporarily PARALYZES. That means there is a chance that Indy didn't knock one guy off in the entire film! What the hell?
Obviously, Stephen Spielberg and crew decided that Indy was now a soft character that was only allowed to punch people. How stupid. It's not that I'm endorsing violence, but that is Indiana Jones! Plus it's not like he's killing off innocent people, or women and children. He's giving the Nazis exactly what they deserve. So I guess the Russians only deserve to be punched. Give me a break.
