Indiana Jones can only be compared with Indiana Jones. Products of adventures in the style from Romancing the Stone to The Mummy Tomb Raider through or Fool ... for gold are infinitely inferior products, light years away. It was ever thus, and always will be. To cite only one appearance, is sufficiently revealing to analyze the changing room to see who owes whom, and how much.
Originally Indiana Jones meant the revival of classicism in the adventure film , bringing this genre the category of art and providing (how could it be otherwise with Lucas and Spielberg ) great news, to the point that created school. Those, along with countless adventure films after the first installment of Indiana Jones , owe to it their rationale, their degree of success (it had to be compared) and expectations of an educated public in new variations of the genre.
So I can only compare Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the skull Originally Indiana Jones meant the revival of classicism in the adventure film , bringing this genre the category of art and providing (how could it be otherwise with Lucas and Spielberg ) great news, to the point that created school. Those, along with countless adventure films after the first installment of Indiana Jones , owe to it their rationale, their degree of success (it had to be compared) and expectations of an educated public in new variations of the genre.
glass with previous Indiana Jones deliveries. Do I find other movies, with heart in hand, rude. Well. Well see. My favorite has always been the third, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade because it presents the same doses of adventure as the others, but also brings irony and grace than the rest of the series, especially by the appearance of the ineffable in the same Sean Connery, who in the latter is missing. He misses the spectator, he misses the public and Spielberg miss him: if not, what's the big picture and memories of Scotland. The Sean Connery shadow is very long. He had never missed any character in the various deliveries of Indiana Jones, not even Karen Allen , despite the rescue here, which I think is not dem asiado well. She looks always very happy, as if he had not grasped the joy of being rescued for the series and eventually become and remains the true love of Henry. Excuse me, I pile up ideas. I'll put some pictures.
But focusing on this, I discuss two criticisms, I think, very critical. The first, the secondary characters are not as well drawn or are in the end as bright as in other deliveries, despite the effort of casting doubt. now not going to doubt the quality of actors like John Hurt , Shia Lebouf (one of the most promising young actors of the time) and Kate Blanchet . It's a trio, and the problem is not theirs. A K. Allen did not include it, I think it is overtaken by events. Rhys-Davis (friend / enemy agent double / triple) is also solvent. But something is wrong. All are good actors. The problem therefore is not theirs, is the script. Simply, their roles are not as juicy as other minor characters from previous installments . Kate Blanchett, despite being best actress, not as wicked as the bad blonde The Last Crusade, Rhys-Davis and John Hurt are not as funny as the secondary partners The Lost Ark and Temple of Doom. And the character of Shia Lebouf, Indy's son, designed to meet the bright parent-child relationship of The Last Crusade, remains, despite the efforts script and gags, a caricature of Sean Connery . We believed, fans of the series, the writers, after have as many laps down in history, would make a parent-child relationship as tasty as the previous film. But it has proved impossible. And I think, frankly, that's not the fault of the young Shia, but the writers, and shadow so long that Connery. Another picture for air.
The second criticism I make to the film is directly related to the script. Frankly, we expected more surprises, and, moreover, many of which appear not convince us too. I'll say it directly: the script gets bogged down after the first three quarters of an hour. Persecution jungle is good, and I think it makes a good reply to the desert before the entry into Petra The Last Crusade, to me the prosecution of the saga after the end of the Temple of Doom ( it is beyond category.) But the three entries that exist in various temples in this movie (the first in Peru, the second that of the Aztec-style pyramid / maya, and the third final in the temple / ship) are disappointing. For various reasons, but mainly because they are slow, the obstacles and / or see it coming, her thoughts are not so surprising, the guards seem to free them all and, finally, because all try to look for the best entry into a temple of the series, the scenes in the temple of Petra which was kept the Holy Grail and where there were guards and godliness, never better. In sum, these three entries in various temples are repetitive and disappointing. A third criticism, but venial, also related to the script. In particular, the central idea and UFOs ufology is not to my liking. But this, of course, is not a compelling reason. I do not think you can criticize it head on all the series has always been fantastic, and we know what we stick to break into films. According to close it well, somehow expressing the qualitative strides in the advancement of humanity have been proceed aliens (idea who defends many weirdos out there ...) But no. I am afraid that here the balance has gone to ground that Spielberg Lucas, and when this occurs the film lapses. Spielberg has always been best director and best screenwriter.
If someone, so read this far, do not think I liked the movie is completely wrong. Despite these criticisms, I enjoyed the movie as a little boy. Harrison Ford returns to be sensational, self-homage and parody. It is the soul and the reference and returns to be really good. The first half hour is prodigious. The first scene, sublime, the presentation of Indiana Jones, amazing. The adventure concludes with the nuclear explosion is superb, as well as the presentation of the protagonist's son. The countless tributes and references to both films in the series as other is really good. So, I remember, there are references to Tarzan , Marlon Brando, to When marabunta roars, and various films both Lucas and Spielberg as The Star Wars , AI and, evidently, ET And finally, the symbolism of the final scene is a big surprise and a knowing wink to the fans.
A few more thoughts to conclude. The film is classic, has a classic tone and pace and always pursues this classicism, which is appreciated, since the filters used to the absence of computer tricks. I do not know how to get the film adolescents, who may expect a transformer, a M: 4 , a Blade, Fantastic Four s or 300 , or Alien c predatory gainst r . Sure hope that if the fourth installment is due to be bloody or requeteinformática. But he will meet with the containment of the classic, classic with alternating scenes of action with intimate scenes with intertextual references are not perhaps understand, and all your expectations be frustrated. Honestly, I do not care.
God save Indiana Jones.
Health.
