TRUE DUDES REVIEW:
 
Let me start by saying that I thought this movie was awesome.  I loved it and I had a great time watching it.  I probably had a stupid smile on my face for almost the entire thing.  However, I can understand the criticism.  The film is definitely hokey.  It’s ridiculous and nowhere near realistic, and it uses a bit too much CGI.  But you know what?  Even with all of those complaints, it’s still a fucking blast!  It may be my least favorite Indiana Jones flick, but that still makes it better than almost anything else.
 
It’s great to see Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.  He hasn’t lost his touch.  Also I thought Shia LaBeouf was great as Indy’s sidekick Mutt.  It was their co-stars that didn’t fair as well.  The villians just aren’t that menacing and no one else is given very much to do.  That’s o.k. though, the action scenes more than make up for it.  They are nonstop and innventive.  At barely over two hours, the film flies by.  My biggest complaint has to do with George Lucas.  The viewer can almost tell which scenes were his idea.  Hint, they’re the ones that suck.  Without going too far into detail, I could have done without the prarie dogs and monkeys (you’ll see what I mean).  Overall, Indy 4 is fantastic.  I’ll be excited to see if there’s an Indy 5 in our future.  The ending seems to suggest that Harrison Fords’ not ready to give up the fedora just yet.
