Topic: Indiana Jones 4: KOCS (lol) first trailer

[DAaaMan64]

I thought that episode was a little too much.....

I think South Park finally reached the limit on what they can and can't do. I admit, I laughed my ass off the first time they showed Indy getting raped, but why did they show it three other times? It just got too awkward and I couldn't bring myself to even watch it. It was like Pulp Fiction but seeing that same part over and over again without Bruce slicing the piece of **** with a sword.

Plus, the Cartman hating China thing could have been so much funnier. They ended up copping out with the whole shooting people in the dick thing (I thought it was funny at first, then it got old).

Anyway I give that episode a 3 out of 10

I agree with Stogi. Compared to SP classics that was crap. Like a lot of the newer episodes.

When are they gonna make a South Park episode about Trey and Matt raping South Park?

Ehh, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was good until the 20-30 minutes then vine swinging and that mindf*ck at the end. That was just lame.

Of all the older franchises to be resurrected in the last few years, this is probably the worst one though I had fun watching the movie. It was leagues better than Phantom Menace... though that didn't set the bar very high.

You know, as much as I want to hate on this movie, there is still a lot I like. As far as Nuking the Fridge goes, yes it stretches credability but Indy has never been about realism. What about Temple of Doom where he falls out of an airplane with an inflatable raft. No raft is going to float you down safley to the ground or let you land softly enough to not injure yourself. Surviving in the fridge is no different except the fridge ride was probably rougher. The point is just the idea that maybe it could work.

For the most part, the movie is pretty good. Even though plot points are pretty obvious, it's not like other Indiana Jones films had huge plot twists or revelations. You could see stuff coming in those movies as well. The Jungle chase does bug me. Compare it to Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indy fights his way through that caravan or Last Crusade with the fight on the tank and there is no comparison. Those latter chases and stunts look better because they look real. The digital effects in the Jungle chase detract because they don't look real. It comes off as fake and so I found myself uninterested because it was too fanatastic. Although the scenes with the Fire Ants was awesome. Most tension in the whole film. The ending is fine right up until they all gather in the Skull chamber. Then there is nothing left to see and it raises more questions and confuses everything.

Less digital filming and computer special effects to a more realistic look along with a changing up the jungle chase a bit and changing the ending and this would be fine.

1.  Indy didn't have a "smart solution" of surviving the final danger(s) this time.  Just run away.
2.  Extended swordplay over increasingly fake backdrops was a waste of time.  The overall digital softness of the film was unsettling after seeing the original trilogy on DVD countless times.
3.  The guardian civilization was built up as something mysterious with potential yet fell flat (like various components of the movie; other sequences of the movie were maybe 30 sec or minutes too long making it like "ok, we get the point, get on with it").
4.  Kate's death scene was lame and unexciting.  Nothing interesting or surprising about the irony, especially when it lacked Indy's involvement.  Zero appreciable gore or dreadfulness.  It just happened, so run away.

We agree on the same things. 3 of your points are basically about the ending which I agree should have been changed and your second point is the same as what I said about the special effects dampening the film.

[Adrock]

I basically agree with those 4 points, notably the 4th one. The death scenes of the villains in Raiders and Last Crusade scarred me when I was a kid. I seriously couldn't watch them for years....

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

^ YES.  THAT'S the magic this new movie is missing.

The PG-13 rating was developed in response to Temple of Doom, and the envelope of what's acceptably PG-13 these days has been incredibly wide (see The Dark Knight), yet Indy4 fails to capture such charm.
