What did y'all think of this movie? I was kind of let down. I went in with really low expectations, but still, I thought maybe there was a chance that I would be pleasantly surprised.

I haven't seen it yet, and critics panned it- but the box office doesn't lie.

um, it was alright. The Last Crusaid is my favorite, and no way did this top that! but it was still pretty good. just the whole alian thing doesn't always work for me. but as long as they were gonna use alians, they did it in a way that it wasn't bad...

Two young adult daughters hated it.

One's boif is a huge-big time Jones fan since childhood and he said it sucked in the words of that great American philosopher, Wayne, "...sucked more than anything that ever sucked before, sucked."

Diddo on this one. The whole movie had a very... How do I put this? fabricated feel to it. I could understand using area 51 aliens and soviets due to the setting and context of the times. It reminded me a lot of Temple of Doom, it had its moments but didn't do it for me,

I liked it, but it was more nostalgic than epic. I think it was better than Temple of Doom. The supporting cast in ToD was so freakin' annoying.

It's kinda funny... Last Crusade has this "here's our last movie, so we're gonna get slightly sentimental and nostalgic" feel. KoCS does this even more by a factor of about 10.

Raiders will always be the best, IMO.

I liked parts of it but it did remind me of ToD (which I didn't like of the three previous movies). Notice that Indiana is basically in every scene in the movie (even if hidden in a trunk!). In the other movies, you get to see the other characters doing their thing - friend or foe. "Last Crusade" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" are my favorites.

Just watched National Treasure 2 and it definitely doen't live up to the first movie. It's hard to make sequels that meet or surpass the original - very rare.

I liked it...there were parts that were disappointing like (SPOILER WARNING) like with the aliens altogether and I didn't like the part where (SPOILER AGAIN) his son swings from the vines.

I did like the beginning with the area 51 hangar with all the boxes and Indy crashing through the boxes and breaking open the Ark of the covenant

I liked it...

ToD still will be the best, but this one was still worth watching
I kinda liked the alien thing, shure it was simlar to Temple of Doom, but if ToD was good, why is this a bad thing? good CGI and all

putting it simply, it was one of the rare times i wasn't bored to **** in a movie theater...

We were debating this one in the office earlier today as we had a "team building exercise" last Friday and a bunch of us went to see it. Personally I found it entertaining but definitely not good; there's a big difference between the two! In contrast, Raiders was both entertaining and good which is why it's such a classic in comparison.

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg? ... Nahhh.

See upcoming "Star Wars: Clone Wars" 'animated' movie. The animated series was interesting but many are already dissing the movie.

I went on the first night it opened. I was not happy, The stuff coming out of Hollywood nowdays. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn,t feel like I was getting ripped off. I have the trilogy set and my kids enjoy them. I don't think I'll get this one though.
