Yeah I agree it was all off course…did anybody else notice the family affair the whole production was? Lots of Spielberg’s, Lucas’s, (adoptee’s?) Hanks…etc…A lot of the main chances in Hollywood goin’ straight back inta it’s own…the Nepotisim is stranglin’ any of the inspiration an’ passions tryin’ ta peek through…..At this point the creativity there was stifling…Harrison Ford ta me seem like he had suffered some kind of brain damage an’ obviously lackin’ that spontaneous touch he once had..(to tell you the truth, “Raider’s” was the only worthwhile film…the other’s get that “Return of the Jedi” sort of denial.)…the lines were so much rehash…Karen Allen seemed so self conscious of not bein’the “Karen Allen” of yore (though I don’t blame her fer that)It’s jest it came across in the film, an’ the filmmakers didn’t know what to do with it, but pretend it wasn’t there…an’ that’s like filmmakin’ 101. There was little chemistry between the leads (They’ve got to be pretty satisfied with what’s behind them I imagine, an’ can leave it all behind…they don’t have ta prove nuthin’..good fer them…but ya know…get the hell out of the way an’ give somebody like me who’s strugglin’ in this industry the wheel damn it!Thing is all the sort of periphereal investors harrass them into makin’ this easy money..because there’s that guarenteed audience in it.Harrison Ford has got e’ry right in the world ta walk away from this….Thing is they’d probably threaten him with death or sumethin’. Bunch of bums.)Shia La Beuf wasn’t the debacle I thought he’d be…but he’s made a fool in the ole “monkey’s are with you” Shia/Tarzan crap…I mean how many people gave Lucas an’ Spielberg substantial scripts an’ this is what they greenlight? Somethin’ stinks about that. This reeks of political/financial opportuniusim. Awful set pieces..the Ants? UFO’S….It was jest a giveaway…
