the last crusade

[sergebroom]

I saw Indiana Jones last night. I paid full price, but still I enjoyed it. I loved seeing Karen Allen, and Shia Labouef surprised me in that I never found myself wanting him to fall into a pit filled with hungry crocs. Yes, Ray Winstone(1) wasn't utilized as well as he could have. My wife hated it and, being a writer, proceeded to point to to me(2) everything that was wrong with the story structure, what had been in the other movies but was missing here. The works. Still, I liked it. It was an old-fashioned adventure. And George Lucas could have messed it up way worse. Probably didn't because Spielberg and Ford had a say in the final results.

I feel sad though because this truly was Indy's last crusade.

(2) Yes, she did so after the movie was over.
