You can't say we didn't try and warn you on this one, like, months ago, but according to every single report we've seen, advance word on the new Indiana Jones movie is uniformly bad. The latest pan from Ain't It Cool News actually even begins with the sentence that any Indy fan was hoping not to hear:
In short, this is the Indiana Movie that you were dreading. I remember seeing the two trailers and though I was excited to see the old man in action again, I was kind of worried that they seemed to be missing ’something’. That something was tension. During the whole of the movie, there was not a single moment that I thought our hero Mr. Jones (actually Colonel Jones as he was a hero in WWII now) was in any sort of peril or even significant inconvenience. In most cases, you were so many steps ahead of the characters that it was really just an arduous wait for them to get through it.
Yeesh. Think on the 22nd we'll be curling up with our copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark and some promo shots of Little Miss Soviett, thank you very much.
