Indiana Jones

Last night we went and saw the new Indiana Jones Movie. I loved it, but I didn't. Harrison Ford has still got it. He is just as sexy as ever. Shia La Bouf is excellent. Cate Blanchett is so talented and I think Oxley is played by the guy who is Mr. Ollivander in Harry Potter and he is cute. You just want to hug him and squeeze him. It's fast paced, action filled, and a little "jumpy-scary" sometimes. However, what they are searching for is not quite what I would have wanted. It's nothing sacred (or even real for that matter) and I think that caused a little bit of an issue with me. It's obviously not as good as the last one with dreamy Sean Connery, but LaBouf does such a good job of adding that bit of charm that Connery had. I certainly wouldn't mind if they carried LaBouf over as Indy Jr. he's so cute. All in all I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars, which isn't bad, but it could have been better. It does have some funnies in it and let's just say that Spielberg or Lucas still enjoys melting peoples faces off and being a little too graphic with killing people off. There were a few times when I had to look away and hope that my popcorn didn't come back up. The action is definitely Hollywood so keep that in my mind. We all know that most of that stuff could not really happen, so don't get hung up on that like my father in-law did. Enjoy it for what it is...Harrison Ford with a whip!
