Not all the reviews are in. It's like 15 are out there.
KotCS reviews in media
- Thread starter Matt Holcomb
- Start date
I'm not reading any of the full reviews because I don't want them tainting my opinion one way or another before I see it Thursday.
However, that being said, I did look at the article here on "Raider" with the bottom line from the 18 reviews they've found so far and 13 of them seem to lean pretty positive.
Even the negative sounding ones aren't too bad. One says that it isn't bad, but is "creaky". Another says it has good moments, but it's time for Ford to "hang up the hat".
But here are the two positive ones that any Indy fan can appreciate:
"So was it worth the wait? ...Absolutely."
The Sun
"Welcome back Indy. Lord knows we’ve missed you."

Amen brothers.
78 hours, 40 minutes and counting

Absolutely elated that most of the reviews are positive. The Sun newspaper especially surprised me as they have a nasty habit of being vicious.

I am a little worried with only 67% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Movies that get in the 60 and 70 percent range on RT are usually not very special. I am hoping for at least 80% fresh, by the time most of the reviews come in.
I want this movie to feel like it was made in the 80s, I would hate for it to feel like a boring, modern blockbuster.
About downtime, Iron Man had far more downtime than any Indy movie and it got 93% positive.
I want to see what Ebert thought, since he gave Raiders and Temple 4 stars upon their initial release.

Better, but I still want something at least in the 80s range.

Well. One can dream.
It is a possibility, though. Aren't the CHUD and AICN reviews fake?

Nice. And the reviews in Time (posted on CNN) and FoxNews.com are positive. So, in the heavy traffic sites that more people will read, reviews are strong.
Also the worst headline I've read about general reaction from Cannes critics was that the movie was "ho-hum". Others have been more complimentary.
