I'm fairly certain that they'd make a "hilarious" slapstick comedy out of the entire thing. An hour and 45 minutes of Shia LaBeouf slipping over and getting hit in the crotch with cactus-like plants at 50 miles an hour. Wait a minute...
Kidding aside, I thought Shia did a good job. I also really, really enjoyed the film. A very good friend of mine told me it sucked the day before I went to see it, and since we usually agree on these things I was incredibly worried (she also loves the first three films). I think that kind of spoiled the opening for me a bit since I wasn't immediately impressed by the film (which is unfair to it, I know), although I liked the old style opening credits. After about 5/10 minutes though, when the Indy feeling started to shine through, I found myself having a great time. The shot of the
alien spaceship
was fairly silly, and did drag the film down a bit in my opinion. I didn't really mind the CGI
aliens
, even the live one, but the
spaceship
was just too over-the-top in my opinion. Liked the ending with the hat, too.
Also, I need a wallpaper of
Indy looking at the mushroom cloud
. That was intense.
