Intriguing. Science. Psychology. (ISP)
Final Verdict: At first the movie seems content with being simple and entertaining, but as the plot progresses it reveals larger themes (such as Freudian philosophy) and deeper meaning. The special effects are absolutely amazing for it's time, and all the actors and actresses make excellent preformances. Greastest of all, the lead male actor in the film is Leslie Nelson... in his prime!
Spoiler(s): I don't know which is better: the walking, talking robot named "Robbie" or the young Leslie Nelson with a full head of brown hair. I'm stumped.

High-Octane. Sci-fi. Throwback. (HST)
Final Verdict: The newest iteration to the Indiana Jones franchise stays very true to the original series, but it's also not afraid to take a few bold new steps. Some of the cheesier scenes almost ruin the entire affair, but they're forgiveable in leui of some very engaging action sequences. It's a fifty-fifty whether you'll love or hate the new sci-fi direction, but I think it's irrelevant in relation to the great characters, thrilling action sequences, and nostalgic storyline. Plus, Shia LaBeouf is a great addition to the series and he should play every character of every movie till he's dead. With everything taken into consideration however, it's probably the weakest film in the franchise.
Spoiler(s): The chick from the first film (actress Karen Allen) makes a dramatic return-- woo!

Long. Aimless. Boring. (LAB)
Final Verdict: The length of this movie could be cut in half, and it'd still be too long. Every scene contains a dozen dramatic pauses, and each seems to drag on forever. The acting is great and the ending is cool, but everything else falls short. Don't waste your time.
Spoiler(s): Jesse James is assassinated by the coward Robert Ford.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 75%
Great. American. Adventure. (GAA)
Final Verdict: The classic Indy formula of action and adventure remains the same, but the film is kept fresh thanks to the addition of a new father/son dynamic. Harrison Ford and Sean Connery play off each other remarkably well, and the result is another amazing movie from the collabrorative minds of Spielberg and Lucas.
Spoiler(s): Indiana is a dog.

Suspenceful. Outstanding. Fun. (SOF)
Final Verdict: This is my favorite Indy film, and one of my favorite films of all time. A must-see for anyone not blind.
Spoiler(s): This is a prequel (not a sequel) to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Goofy. Charming. Sexism. (GCS)
Final Verdict: It's a preachy chick flick camoflauged in T&A, it's douchebaggy, and the main characater practically neuters his manhood at the end of the film-- but it's still good. It's a simple analysis of men and women from a guys perspectives, but the key to it's success is it's blatant charm and relatebility. There's a possibility that you may get annoyed by it, but I think you should at least check it out.
Spoiler(s): F--- you, I'm not spoiling the movie.

Dull. Formulaic. Unorginal. (PFU)
Final Verdict: I struggled to stay awake in this lackluster thriller. Simply put: it's been done before and it's been done better.
Spoiler(s): Jodie Foster is gay.
