\nIt just reminds us of the far, far superior (and more serious) “Raiders of the Lost Ark.”<\/p>\n
\nShe’s really only window dressing to help tie Mutt to Indy. Karen Allen was so woefully underused in this movie.<\/p>\n
\nRocket Fridge! Tank Chase Through the Amazon! Three Waterfalls of Doom! All super silly and way, way, way over the top (and past any remote possibility of believability).<\/p>\n
\nAs much as I love Cate Blanchett … her character has nowhere near the menace of Toht in “Raiders.”<\/p>\n
\nWhere the hell did THEY come from and how many years were some of them encased in those columns?!?!<\/p>\n
\nI can’t even begin to tell you how much this plot point destroyed the movie for me. They must have thought that they should touch on the “alien” theme since the movie was set in the 50’s. But, honestly, they could have thought something else up. I can buy the “religious” element of “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” It’s mysterious. It’s supernatural. It’s scary. To me Aliens and Indiana Jones just DON’T go together.<\/p>\n
\nEven with the rest of the movie being pretty lame … this was such an anticlimax. They don’t even give you Mutt putting the hat on (thus shifting us into him being the main character of any potential sequel).<\/p>\n
