This is the most epic shit ever. Looks so good.
So does Part 2 move in the timeline beyond David Lynch's adaptation? Because even though Dune Part 1 was well made, I found it unsurprising and close to being a beat by beat remake. With the exception of Sardaukar chants.
By reilo Go To PostWhy are we comparing this to Lynch's adaptation?I'm not comparing it. I just don't want to be as bored as in Part 1 by something I already know well.

He fumbled the lay up
Shocking. I thought the US judicial system was infallible.
Was there a similar "Let's uncancel ... " wave for Justin Roiland after his verdict? Is this positive reaction due to the rabid Marvel fanbase or an OJ "light" moment?

Efron is doing a movie on the Von Erich wrestling dynasty. For added realism he's hitting the 'vitamins' hard.
Sandra bullock is not a good actress.

They're rolling out the "angry black man" red carpet on this guy.

crazy how they get away with hyping up serial killers and terrorists but find time to pick sides in domestic shit
By Punished Go To PostRIP Hawkeye PierceMy mom would be devastated if that was true
By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostIndy 5 was alright. Missing the Spielberg magic and a little too out there
Always find it weird when people say things like this about Indiana Jones. The aliens in 4 were too much apparently for a series that had ghosts melting people's faces and thousand year old cunts hanging around in caves.
There's a very big possibility that Indy 5 will have a lower box office than Uncharted, the movie adaptation of a game that was very inspired by Indiana Jones.

with the CGI that is

Because it is. There being supernatural aspects doesn’t mean surviving a nuclear explosion by being launched into the air inside a fridge and surviving the impact makes any sense, or all of a sudden swinging those ropes like cartoon Tarzan with your cgi monkey buddies. The problem aren’t aliens. The characters ground the fantastical elements, and when they don’t it becomes ridiculous. Solid Snake jumping off a rocket missile ruins everything.
The fridge part is absolutely awesome, come on now. It’s quintessential Indy schlock. These are films based off goofy 1920s serials… what are y’all expecting? It’s fun.
There are three movies before Crystal Skull, they set the rules not me. Crystal Skull didn’t abide, it’s a fact.
Is it fun though if the execution is bad? The reason the originals work is because they straddled the line well and were overly better made movies. It also helps that it leaned more on practical effects.
It's the same reason the T-Rex in Jurassic Park works but doesn't as much in Jurassic World.
It's also the fifth in a series that should've ended at the third 30 years ago so bringing in something new and well made is nearly an impossible task -- especially when Disney is producing it now.

By Crusher Go To PostThere are three movies before Crystal Skull, they set the rules not me. Crystal Skull didn’t abide, it’s a fact.Monkey swinging and other parts of Crystal Skull are bad because of the execution and poor CGI. The nuke part of Crystal Skull is awesome.
It's weird that people focus on this as a point of contention. Temple of Doom is one of the most racist blockbusters ever put out and the antithesis of fun. I find that more egregious than anything in Crystal Skull.
By reilo Go To PostIs it fun though if the execution is bad?.No, but I am not arguing that. The issue seems to be that parts like the nuke fridge in Crystal Skull don't make sense with the films' internal logic but I disagree with that, for reasons that n8 put out, but for some reason magic or "a wizard did it" is more believable.
I don't think that's the claim Apollo was making. I bet he'd be okay with "out there" if the execution is good.
Also a lot of times these IPs have snippets of "out there" internal logic but continue to escalate it to the point where it's nonsensical. I think the fridge nuke scene is a perfect example of that. Was it "out there" to begin with? Yes but there's degrees to it -- staying within boundaries is hard. There's a past a point where it's too dumb even for the already established canon. Lots of franchises fall into this.

By DY_nasty Go To PostThe nuke part of crystal skull made half my theater walk out 😂Loved it because of how ridiculous it was, seemed so on brand for the franchise. Rest of the film was just whatever.
I didn't grow up with these films like some people so never really had attachment to the franchise. Raiders is prob the best action adventure film ever put out.
The characters have to ground the action, I don’t understand what’s so hard about this.
Indiana Jones fist fight against heavyweight nazi who gets his head shredded works because Indy doesn’t feel invincible, the violence isn’t out of place because the world doesn’t feel like a cartoon.
Crystal Skyll is Eddie Valiant entering Toontown.

Not to hammer the point home, but fuck it:
Jurassic Park: "we made a theme park from dinosaur DNA and replicated dinosaurs!" *something goes wrong, awesome adventure monster thriller ensues*
Jurassic World: "we made a theme park from dinosaur DNA after the disaster of the original but this time we spliced the dinosaurs with other DNA including humans to make them smarter!" *dumb fucking bullshit ensues where dinosaurs are tamed by hand gestures*
By this argument the JW movies are internally consistent with the logic of JP but JW is so fucking dumb.

Indy 4 (and 5) is just assuming the audience is dumb so the reality of the movie reflects that.
I saw the fridge scene and rolled my eyes, some jabroni slurping down his second big gulp because the salt of his bottomless popcorn is making him extra thirsty was loving it.

It's all about a lot of factors on how the supernatural element fits into the movie
Raiders and Last Crusade supernatural elements are mostly relegated to 1 scene and are explicitly tied to the supernatural artifact that has been hyped up in the movie. Aside from them the rest of the movies are grounded and the appeal is the spectacle of the practical stunts and set pieces.
If the set pieces are CGI, the characters are doing over the top things every other scene, and the supernatural is common and not just limited to the mythical artifact, it doesn't work.
Like how Snake jumping off a rocket is over the top in a way the original isn't because Snake in 1,2,4 is portrayed as a very good soldier but not John Ramho, so it feels completely out of place

Exactly, that's why the The Rock pulling a chopper toward him with one arm wasn't out of place in Shaw & Hobbs because the universe of F&F is already filled with ridiculous super human feats.
Not saying it's a great movie but I was expecting this like that.

I actually think Temple of Doom is incredible. Very racist, pretty misogynistic, but as a thrill ride and Spielberg showcase it's fucking great.

Marvel got so big, that it ruined franchises that aren't even comic related. Everybody needs big CGI setpieces, save the world and have the characters do super human shit. Tom Cruise is the only one who gets a pass because he does dope ass stunts that are borderline suicidal.
