TheFedora said:So just saw the movie...WOW. Spielberg outdid himself her. No spoilers at all, but there are plenty of easter eggs throughout, lots of stuff from not only his filmography and particularly pop culture. Maybe even one or two that are of specific interest to people on this forum!
Just saw it myself and without getting into the whole book/movie sub-discussion, I was rather caught off guard by how pedestrian and un-Spielberg-y the movie was. It was serviceable enough, but if I didn't already know Spielberg had directed it, I would have never guessed from watching it.
For the record, I'm still very much in the hope/denial camp where it comes to Spielberg and another Indy movie, but with every additional movie he makes, a little of that hope dies. Ready Player One, The Post, The BFG, Bridge of Spies... All perfectly enjoyable movies, but nothing that really screams "Spielberg!" about them.
