Crystal Skull has 77% critics approval and 53% audience on RT

boom

flawless victory

So 20% liked it out of 29 people thus far. This film was debuted amongst handpicked media members for better reviews.

It's at 52%, and critics normally love the woke/grrrl power bullshit. This movie should have started out with a score in the 80s. That it didn't is a bad sign.

It's down to 50% again

This is the Last Jedi all over again. Clay will white knight for the film and then months later realize it was not good and start trashing it.

"We didn’t realize how good we had it with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Jesus.

EDIT: SPOILERS

You should probably mark that with some spoilers. I stopped reading as it was starting into the plot.

I've never trashed the Last Jedi. It's still my favorite of the ST.

Jar Jar Abrams is 100% to blame for the ST abomination.

Aw man - is it gonna really commit the GREATEST sin of the TLJ? Are they really gonna just make the central theme of the movie "Hey, your childhood heroes all ended up miserable husks just waiting to die as they aged..."

There was a lot about TLJ that sucked. But that was the absolute worst part - everyone that 'won' in the movies you loved, pretty much lost from that point forward.

Reviews do not indicate that at all.

I will wait until it shows up in one of my streaming services to watch Geriatric Jones.

Movie is doomed on arrival.

The spoilers do.

Clay is very naive when it comes to Disney butchering IPs.

Not surprising. Indy is getting the "Luke Skywalker Treatment", and there is a Mary Sue waiting in the wings to replace the sad, broken-down old guy.

pretty much every review says it's better than crystal

everything about this is awesome - new trailer!

That's an incredibly low bar, considering Crystal Skull was nearly unwatchable.

that's not remotely true LMAO

****ing idiots

Oh come on, it was ****ing horrible. Especially if you are old enough to have seen Raiders in a theater.

I loved that scene, personally. It doesn't remotely make the film "unwatchable." You're talking like it was Attack of the Clones bad, and even that was watchable.

I'd watch AOTC twice before sitting through Crystal Skull again.

Can't wait!

Buddy... that is such a low ****ing bar to hurdle. Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is a better movie than Crystal.

Are you ****ing serious? If they went back to that formula AGAIN after how ****ing shit The Last Jedi was they're deliberately trying to destroy the IP.

I'm judging by the review posted above, but it has the makings of a total train wreck.

I think those assholes actually believe their way of writing and making movies is fine, and that audiences are the real problem.

It seems like they just don't get it. I still say the Hans Solo movie would have done awesome at the theaters had they not put out that shit show movie prior to it. Everyone basically said **** anything Star Wars at that point.

I thought the Hans Solo movie was actually pretty good and followed what a Star Wars movie should have been all along.

score is on point

Comments on the score (from film reviews)

The lesson should be that you can't make a successful Han Solo movie without a young Harrison Ford. I'd rather see a 100% CGI 30-year-old Ford than some kid who looks nothing like him...or the shriveling 80-year-old he actually is.

They do get it. They just don't care. They want to push their agendas.

I mean, credit to Clay, the guy's as loyal as a labrador retreiver.

"You kicked me in the face???! Oh well, I probably deserved it. Do it again!"

{wags tail}

When he decides he loves any part of a thing, he loves the whole of it. And with every fiber of his being.

Solo took such a bad beat.

That was a genuinely enjoyable movie that just got caught up in the shitshow of Kathleen Kennedy.

Clay right now with the Indy movie.

I want the Indy movie to be good, but I have very low expectations.

That's where I am. Clay's enthusiasm is infectious, but I've been burned...ALOT...

...I'm taking an awful risk Clayder...this had better work...

It's James Mangold. He doesn't miss.

PERIOD.

Depends on how you're defining "miss", I guess.

Mangold didn't have the lead direction. Kennedy did.

Big oof

we have over a month lmao

It belongs in a trash can.

I think a great deal of the issues comes with not picking a successor to Indy. They tried with Shia LeBouf but then that movie was panned, Shia went a little crazy, and so that entire movie's build up was panned. You can always claim hindsight, but I wouldn't have put my franchise's fate in the hands of an actor who's main movie credits included Michael Bay's Transformers franchise. I could see the promise there, but that's a big risk to take for a beloved franchise.

Now they are introducing a new female with a sidekick and she's supposed to be very Indiana Jones-like so we'll see how that performance pans out, but I doubt with the reviews the way they are that they're signing her up for a new trilogy anytime soon.

The other major issue is the time spent making a new movie between The Last Crusade and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I mean having three movies in a decade, to going another 19 years between TLC and KotCS is just too much wasted time, for whatever reason. They should've made a movie in the 90s and early 2000s to keep the franchise from going stale. Whether that's on George, Harrison, Steven, or some other executive call it makes it so Crystal Skulls flub after 20 years really put a nail in the coffin.

I'll still go see it, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I don't care about it's box office numbers like the movie studios do, at this point it's all about Harrison Ford and how Indiana Jones is portrayed, because if this is the last movie that gets made with Harrison in the role, then you have 2 great movies, 2 bad movies, and whatever you think of Temple of Doom in the middle.

Rumor is it's a steaming turd, Clay. Enjoy!

They didn't need to keep the franchise going.

It ended beautifully with the third movie.

They literally rode off into the sunset at the end, to boot.

South Park was way ahead of the curve.

Posting just to torture Clay if nothing else

he hasnt seen the movie

half the people who have seen it liked it

just go ahead and side with the shitty half, you losers

ROFL

I'm holding out hope, but I'm not going to be floored if it turns out to be garbage. As you've said, James Mangold hasn't missed much in his directorial efforts.

Brutal.

What's the bar for this? Better than Crystal Skull? Because I'm seeing that idea thrown about.

90% of reviews say it's better than crystal skull

i have a feeling the verdict on this movie will be reached by reactions to the third act, which by all accounts is a swing for the fences

that's certainly refreshing to hear after the boring slop of the third act in crystal and the rehashed garbage in rise of skywalker

speaking of films you all ****ing hate, last jedi currently sits at 91% on RT, but suddenly we're using RT here to determine a film's fate

in short, **** you guys, wait a month AND DON'T POST ANY ****ING SPOILERS

Audience score is where it is at... 42% for Last Jedi... I will wait on this one till some audience scores come out.

if the third act lands and phoebe isn't rey 2.0 we're gonna have a damn good time

Just read a plot synopsis.

That's really the best way to treat cherished Intellectual Property, right? Characters that have been loved for decades.

Just...shit on 'em. Make sure that what you learn, 30 years after you cheered for the good guys to win, was that none of it matters and everyone hates themselves in the end.

Just a home run approach, really.

They needed to adopt the British detective series model where the protagonist is some dusty librarian looking old guy with halitosis yet is idolized by his colleagues and community for his tenure of brilliance.

4 years in that dusty old British detective turns into Jason Bourne, though.

Or was that JUST Sherlock?

I was thinking mostly frumpy throughout

I don't get it. It's really not that hard to sideline a beloved character respectfully instead of what Disney keeps doing.

FRENCHMEN LOVE IT

Paid shill

Spoiler the entire third act is Indy yelling "MOMMY I'M SORRY I STOLE FROM NATIVES" while Phoebe pegs him.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Plunger

Oof. Seeing a lot of reviews that make me believe the plot synopsis I read was legit. Welp, on the bright side this may finally be what gets KK ousted, although I doubt anyone that would replace her does any difference

Should have happened YEARS ago; she is utterly incompetent. KK must have pictures, video, and DNA evidence on Disney execs...

It's going to be pure shit. An embarrassing ending to a once-great franchise, and an insult to anyone with a functional brain.

Broadchurch was so good.

I'm an admitted David Tenant stan and Olivia Coleman is a fantastic actress

One man's take, spoilerish though not anything like a full review, and Hammock should definitely not read this:

You don't understand. She is doing what she wants to do and her brand of beliefs are in vogue.
