This reminds me of a thread I would of posted 4 years ago. Only the spelling and grammar is superb.
Finn said:That's all. Now, bring this discussion back on line or scatter to the four winds, basking in that gloriously good feeling of justice having happened.
Stoo said:To answer Scott's often repeated question: I think people are hard on "Skull" because they had overblown expectations. (It was actually better than I thought it would be!)
Indy's brother said:Well, the Ugha word for 'gold' translates as 'treasure.' But their treasure wasn't gold, it was banning. Banning was their treasure.
The thing is, Sabo, you don't drone on & on & on about your aversion like some others do. Initial disappointment in 2008 is understandable but this thread's question was asked in the present tense. Taking that distinction into account, why are certain people "so hard on" Indy 4 almost 5 years later?Le Saboteur said:If I may offer a personal anecdote here, I managed to step into the theatre only knowing the title (inadvertently gleaned from here). The handful of "expectations" I had were based on the creative team's proven track record of being able to tell a story intelligently. Walking out of said theatre, however, those expectations didn't even come close to being met.
A movie is not greater than the sum of a couple of novel scenes.
Heh. Combine both of your names and you get a 'Mickey Finn', the infamous knock-out drink from Indy's era. (Do the Mods have a bottle of chloral hydrate stashed behind the bar?)Mickiana said:From 'Uncle' Finn to 'Ugha' Finn. Both endearing terms of course.

Túrin Turambar said:To me its still a good film, but it could have been a great classic film, they missed out on a lot of things with it. I still see it at least on par with Temple.
To lighthearted from the start with the gophers should have been darker in parts.
Didn't like the Mac character or Mutt, they should have scraped the Mac character and replaced him with Saller had him from the start again, he should have been in it he's in Last crusade and raiders. And i really wanted Sean to come back just for one scene.
I like the fridge scene was like the raft scene in temple.
Túrin Turambar said:Yes Sallah..You have a point, I just thought Mac was a waste though didnt like the character could have done better with that.
