Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull… or whatever

My kiddos and I (ahem, the kids I babysit and I) went to the movies today, as it was rainy and stormy… so the lake and pool were out of the picture.

We first decided to see Wall-E, but then chose Indiana Jones, because it was earlier and a seven-year-old, nine-year-old, and the seventeen-year-old that has to listen to them became impatient.

I’m fairly certain I saw one of the previous Indiana Jones movies, but I can’t really remember. So for me, this was basically the first I had seen. In general, it was pretty good. Coming the tenth movie in wasn’t hard, although I assume Marion had been in like the first film perhaps? Anyway, lots of action for the nine-year-old boy, and some slow parts so the seven-year-old girl could catch up and not have everything go over her head.

The ending sucked. A spaceship? What the hell? This movie seemed to be set forty-plus years ago, which wasn’t really the problem; I suppose the issue was that while they had mentioned Mars and aliens briefly, the ending didn’t make much sense. It was all Egyptian-God-like in the temple Indiana and Co. opened, but once they figured out, oh hey, this probably ain’t good, and ran the hell out, this spaceship rises from the ground and zooms off into space.

WHAT?!?!?

 

P.S. Sorry if I ruined the movie for you.
