We first posted about the later mentioned Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Review and now that we draw closer to its release, more reviews are coming out, and they are not looking so hot.
AICN received three [reviews] today, one heavy on the “it sucks” and spoilers, the other basically saying, “Yeah, that first guy who said the movie sucks? I see where he’s coming from.” The latest says it’s a worthy addition and brings a smile.
The best review out of the three mentioned is only luke warm and that doesn’t spell good things.
This of course reminds me that back in the end of March when I wrote about George Lucas downplaying the movie.
“When you do a movie like this, a sequel that’s very, very anticipated, people anticipate ultimately that it’s going to be the Second Coming. And it’s not. It’s just a movie. Just like the other movies. You probably have fond memories of the other movies. But if you went back and looked at them, they might not hold up the same way your memory holds up.”
I of course speculated that this meant that George knew the fans would over hype its importance and fail to have fun with it like they had hoped.
Has this happened? George is strong with the Force and perhaps he sensed a disturbance.
Like millions of moviegoers crying out at once and then suddenly silenced.
