Indiana Jones and the Thread of Doom

[Jason1]

Okay I just got back from watching it. It was good, not great, somewhat predictable, but the action was awsome as usual. Spielberg is the greatest filmmaker of our generation, for sure. In the end, it certaintly didnt dissapoint. It just didnt completley blow me away.

It was 250 times better than Ironman.

Hes made too many awsome movies. Sure there have been a few stinkers in there, but they are very few indeed.

So he has a lot of awesome movies...and he does...but a lot of movies that are awesome might not trump someone who has 1 or 2 movies that are awesome. I agree, he's made some really good movies. I don't hold him as high as you do, but I am somewhat playing devil's advocate.

I don't know if would consider him the best of our generation, but eh.

Maybe a spinoff thread?

[KillerGremlin]

Best Director/Producer? That would be a tough thread to work with, you would probably have to give a gateway of 20 years for most of the directors out there. Plus, I'm not really up on what is "my generation." I think the whole generation thing has kind of gone away with time, at least I don't sit around comparing generations. I guess I look at decades...is a decade a generation?

How well does 'Mutt' fit in? I mean, does he just come as an annoying prick? Or does he truly integrate with the story and the Indy universe? Was the ending left open for another story or is there a solid, conclusion?

Ah, Mutt wasnt that bad...I'll admit Im not a Shia fan.

As for the conclusion, it hints at something, then hints at something else...you just have to watch it to see what I mean. I mean sure, the conclusion is solid, it could end forever this way, but it also hints at a sequal. But not necissairly...its complicated...

But, I recently read that George Lucas will only do a sequal if he can "think up a good macguffin" or whatever they call the main item that drives the plot. Lucas is way too picky, he's the reason it took so long to get released, he kept rejecting the scripts. Spielberg would like the script, and Lucas kept rejecting it.

If they do what they hinted at the anger of thousand suns will be brought to bear upon them.
