I personally liked this movie and thought it was cool. I disagree with this review.
jonathanjk
You just disagree? Don’t make too much of an effort with a rebuttal and sway me to your side of the argument.
Angus McRapist
Why does Pandemidoll have to “sway you”? People are allowed to just disagree, you know.
CrackedButter
He can disagree, but at least make an informed effort to say why. When you consider the amount of effort that’s been put in for this video, it’s lazy really.
I’m the type of person who wants to know why.

Indy CAN be a geezer – only he should have left the adventures behind, only to be pulled back in because of his son. It would have been interesting to see him being awkward at first, and then start doing what he does best. This movie was crap.
Bill The Thrill
That’s a *great idea*(!)
I can definitely picture the audience having fun w/ that aspect of the story, too. It’s human. It’s relate’able.
Alas . . . this film was just a BIG, stinky cash-grab. Still, it is a shame Spielberg and Lucas drove this beloved character into the ground. They should’ve hired YOU.

Mr. Plinkett great review. I am a big Stars Wars and Indie fan but in about 1995 after watching Radioland Murders! I decided to boycott anything to do with George Lucas 17 years later…….No Regrets

He punches people!! I like that part! “Part time…”
Why was Kate B., who many consider the most beautiful woman in the world, put in a Beatle wig and always seen in a baggy uniform? A complete waste of looks (and talent). Why not have her seduce Indy in a hotty scene and create all kinds of tension between personal lust and national loyalty, plus add to the complexity of Indy’s relationships with Karen Carpenter, Mutt the Wonder Dog, and Paul McCartney?
guest
“many” what’s? drag queens?
Kate Blanchett is weird looking.
who are these people who think she’s “the most beautiful woman in the world”?
i know that doesn’t answer your question.
but your question was kind of weird.

When is the next review, Harry? Prometheus is screaming for your brain to notice it… and pizza roll please!
what a cop out. the film was shit and you know it. all the “great scenes” in the world don’t make a great film. Pirates the porno had some great scenes but I wouldn’t call it a great reboot/parody of the pirates series, or for that matter a great standalone film.
The film was truly the worst film I have ever seen, even worse then if you took all of the prequels and star trek films and just Joseph Heller style took all the scenes and randomly edited them together.
and what was that shit at the end about how there are worst things in the world.
um no there aren’t.
Anony Mouse
If this is the worst movie you’ve ever seen, you’ve lived quite the sheltered life.
John Johnson
I’m pretty sure Plinkett’s main point was “This movie sucked”
Very bad movie… lazy. Lucas, Spielberg, Harrison… they need to retire. People need understand when her time is over, they done a good job, but now they started to destroy their own legacy.
They shouldn’t have to retire, they should just stop trying to recapture their youth.
Except Lucas, I hope a fucking sinkhole swallows him and his mansion in the dead of night and nobody ever notices.
SomethingHeavy
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I knew it!

please do a prometheus review, ergh! ridleys gone the same as lucas. i imagine you might be busy with the coming robocop, total recall and blade runner remakes though

Blasphemy! Prometheus should have never been released by itself. Scott should have simply made both movies and released them at once so people would not bitch and moan.

Ian Warburton
After studying your review I watched Crystal Skull and really enjoyed it for the first time. You’ve transformed it for me from bafflingly bad to an Indiana Jones movie with some flaws. So thanks!
Bill The Thrill
I was – like man – greatly looking forward to this film. When I finally watched it, I had to turn it off halfway thru.
That bit where La-BUFF is sword-fighting . . . FENCING(?) . . . w/ that other person on whilst riding thru the jungle on jeeps(?) . . . Yeah. That was IT, for ME . . . (!!!)
Truly, an abomination of a film.
SirHenry
Once I saw the fridge scene I said, “Dammit, they prequeled it!” After that it just sort of hobbled along and ended with a whimper. Oh well
if you were so looking forward to the film how could you ‘turn it off’ unless you had it on dvd/digital download (or other home device)? wouldn’t a huge fan have been disappointed in the theater?
BoB-DoG
He was in the theatre. He means he turned off the theatre half way through, to save himself & the other pundits too

Wait..you said the snake not tearing in half isn’t very realistic, yet earlier you said the series has never been about the characters or realism.

First they ruined Star Wars with the prequels and then I said if George Lucas ruins anything else precious to my childhood then I am going to be truly MAD!! Then Indiana Jones 4 came out (I am not even going to strain myself with saying the title to this abomination)…

At least we still have Howard the Duck. Ohhh… wait.

I am pretty sure they used snakes as ropes in the amazon for years…

Doesn’t anyone realize this movie isn’t going to feel like the old Indiana Jones movies? Why? Because you’re not fucking 12 years old anymore !! Instead of ripping it apart (simply because the new Star Wars films sucked), why don’t you try to think like a kid again and simply enjoy another fun and great adventure of Indiana Jones.
guest
Bullsh!t remark. I can still go back and watch any of the first three movies, and yes, while I am not a kid anymore and see movies differently, they are still really good movies. Are we supposed to think the first three starwars movies now suck because we’re middle aged? Lame argument. This movie deserves to be ripped apart because it’s a bad freaking movie poorly done by men who shouldn’t make these kinds of movies (and in George’s case, any kind of movies) anymore.
Danny
Neil Flynn, the actor who plays The Janitor on Scrubs, keeps popping up as tertiary characters in your reviews. He plays Cop #1 in Baby’s Day Out and one of the douche agents in Crystal Skull. Is there a connection? Is Neil Flynn responsible for these horrible film atrocities?
RMCarpenter
Has anyone seen Danny since this comment? I’m guessing the last thing he saw was a small army in dingy grey jumpsuits.

My father died when swinging from a snake rope in the amazon. The snake held strong, but he couldn’t hold on.

When he keeps talking and I look into his eyes I get a feeling that someone else is driving

when he sees a frozen juice can I bet he just keeps looking at it funny and doing nothing cause the can says “concentrate”

“Smart lad to slip bedtimes away,
From fields where glory does not stay.
And early though the laurel grows,
it withers quicker than the rose.
Eyes the shady night has shut,
cannot see the record cut.
And silent sounds no worse than cheers,
after earth has stopped the ears.
Now you will not swell the route of lads that wore that honors out,
Runners whom were noun out ran,
and the name died,
before it began.”

What about during Last Crusade when Indiana leaves the Nazi General in the tank to fall off of the cliff? Shouldn’t he be responsible for that murder too?

That’s why there’s actually such a thing as being “too nice”, and abusive a-holes have no problem getting laid. I feel like I’m living in a cuckoo clock sometimes.
I-I’m not bitter.
taterboob
Maybe I’m a weirdo, but I like the take of “part time” they went with better than the one you’re using as an example.
DarkDjim
Please do the matrix reviews. I’m pretty sure they’ll be as brilliant as the star wars ones… The sheer amount of disapointment they created guarantees it xD
yep
The idea of having Indy be a WWII vet was probably to solidify him as a hero. Since he is so old in the film, they needed a way to make him an action hero, without having to show much action. The reason it feels weird, aside from the points in the review, is because Indy was always a loner, never taking orders. To imagine him towing water for some higher officer in amongst a team of grunts just doesn’t jibe well with what we have always seen and known about his character.

Look up the Venona Project. It was declassified in 90′s. It proved that J. McCarthy was 95% percent correct in who was a communist spy. I guess the libs aren’t coming out apologizing for demonizing McCarthy. Just sayin.

Nope.

The Venona Project didn’t even look at the majority of people that Joseph McCarthy accused. The scholarly consensus is that under 6% of those accused of being communist could be identified as such.

The movie could have been really cool, if Spielberg made it in the 90s. Technology and George Lucas ruined this movie. Actually the majority of movies nowadays are ruined because filmakers are fukcing lazy assholes and use CGI just cuz that’s simpler to do.

T3 is more desereving to be reviewed.

Janusz Kaminski is indeed a good dp, but it seems to me that natural lighting instead of whatever garbage he used would have helped this feel more like and Indiana Jone movie than it did.
Braven
Not only do they use snakes as rope in the Amazon but the US Government has determined a refrigerator also doubles as a nuclear bomb shelter.
marcobjj
that ending made me depressed
Apexcasket
send me a pizza roll in the mail you old fuck!
Ryan
Using “Nucular” instead of “Nuclear” is technically correct. Either is correct.
I feel so bad for Speilburg here. Even in the behind the scenes sections, he said that he had hoped that he would not have to direct another Indiana Jones movie.
George Lucas
If I am so retarded how do I have a $4,000,000,000 net worth? Do you have $4,000,000,000 net worth? No didn’t thinks so. Check Mate Mr Vulcoun

Your right George. If a man is measured at the end of his life by how much money he has in his bank acccout – then you win! It’s obvious that those billions of dolllars of net worth have made you lose touch with society…and that is translating onto every project you are a part of these days.
Arwyn
Great review, as always! But luckily, it didn’t have the same impact as the Star Wars prequel reviews. Maybe that’s because those films were more damaging to their own mythology, but I also don’t think Crystal Skull was all that bad. No, not as good as Raiders (what is?) but it was still a fun, entertaining movie with lots of good stuff in it, which is a lot more than any of the SW prequels.
On the list of good things mentioned by Harry , I think Cate Blanchett’s hammed-up role as Irvana deserves a mention. Her accent, the stern and sexless uniform and the sword made for a fantastic character. Not a supervillain maybe, but a worthy opponent.
Then I actually found myself disagreeing on a few details with the esteemed Mr. Plinkett, which is rare. Willie Scott might ‘at least have been different’ (but I don’t like things that are different!) , her character and performance -and hairdo- are still very annoying and terribly dated. And I do think if Indie had a love of his life it would be Marion. There was a real chemistry between them, and Indie was crushed when he thought she was dead. I know lots of fans did not want to see Indie settling down and getting married but I didn’t mind it. (Having said that, now that he HAS, I’m not sure if I want to see more adventures.)
I didn’t mind Willie. The sexual tension scene was hilarious.

The olsen twin adventures joke made my jaw drop in horror.

I hope you make more of this stuff. Keep it up.

My next project: Indiana Jones and the Beating of a Dead Horse. Plot: Indie finds the fountain of youth, after drinking from it returns to “Raiders” age. We can do this de-aging with digital effects This way franchise can be milked for another 25 years without having to bother with that original thought bullshit. If Harrison Ford dies we’ll just “Weekend at Bernies” his ass. I’ll just digitally remove the guys holding him up.

Shut up Plinkett. I’m tired of your smart dumb reviews.
I’d love that plot structure page you show at 14:01 on the first video. I like reference.
AlcaldeEste
Usually sequels are either a retread of the previous film or pick-up immediately after the previous film. And sometimes a film franchise is picked up several years after the last one with a nostalgia sequel that makes references to the previous films <- That was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Do you remember, Lucas & Spielberg? You already made the nostalgia sequel! The pointless references to the original films, characters from the first film for nostalgia value, the added father/son drama. Indiana Jones 3 was the nostalgia sequel!!
yu stu
It’s more plausible that some supernatural power would be released from the Ark of the Covenant than there is that Mutt would swing on vines and land on a speeding jeep, Russians would fire thousands of bullets and be unable to hit anyone, driving a jeep over a cliff and being uninjured, natives hiding inside stone for who knows how long,etc. etc.
James Ruggeri
The best part about this whole (very awesome) review was at the end when he said he’s going to make more. yes! cannot wait for matrix review, maybe do transformers too????
PS. I cry at night sometimes when i think about Michael Bay getting to make TMNT.
Ian K
Why was there an arrow pointing to the name of the train at 14:13 of Part 2? Is it a reference to the old wodden ship of the same name or am I thinking too much into it?
