Ok, I've been a really big, nerdy Indiana Jones' fan and trust me when I say, my expectations were really, really low. Despite all that, I found myself agreeing with everything that's written below. It's a rant/review by another Indy fan which I found via imdb boards. In a nutshell, if I have to sum the film up in one word: meh. And a weak 'meh' at that.

This is probably (most likely) (pretty sure), the last time we will ever be able to see our childhood hero Indiana Jones in a new adventure. After years of waiting and wishing; after all the excitement, we get "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". The last chance for a new adventure and this is the waste we recieve. Digital prairie dogs, digital monkeys, and digital fire ants. I feel like I watched a cross between Caddyshack, Jumanji, and Close Encounters. Nothing can begin to describe how retarded this movie is.

The only thing epic about this film is it's fail. EPIC FAIL!!! Somewhere, someplace, some fan boys are killing themselves. This rant is coming from somebody who was quick to desregard nay-sayers and detractors of this film before it's release.

From a die hard Indy fan who honestly set his expectations low for this film, nothing could even begin to compare to how low expectations need to be for this film to be enjoyed. George Lucas should be ashamed and Steven Speilberg now strikes me as a man past his prime making movies just to kill time because he has too much money and nothing better to do.

SPOILER ALERT!!
When the flying saucer takes off, if Jar Jar Binks showed up in the window waving good bye, I would have expected it. At least it would have been satisfying to know that the film was just a big joke to begin with.

Heh. AOL? How old is this?

I'm not sure I get your point, spoco2, but I can certainly say you seem passionate about it. Which is good. You deserve a comment upvote for that. I'm not an elitist by any stretch, so I apologize if my rant sounded that way. I am actually a filmmaker, to be honest, and a lot of my friends have been affected by the strike here in LA, so I do have a pretty keen perspective of what's going on outside of the occasional YouTube fanfare which highlights the writer's perspectives only. I've also worked as a programmer, so if that puts me in a "highly skilled industry", then I'm afraid I cannot safely say I've ever (dare even wanted to) look upon the [ahem] rabble below and think them to be thankful for what they have.

I never said Hollywood is the only place with unions. I was trying to point out their sense of entitlement, which maybe I failed at. Sorry. Unions typically are formed to protect workers from egregious work conditions such as long hours and low pay, et cetera. But what separates Hollywood unions from these other unions is this: name another union except those in Hollwyood where the members can stand to make several million a year. Who needs protecting now? And, before you start in on me saying "not everybody makes that much in Hollywood" yaddi yaddi yadda, let me stop you there and point out that my original point was that Hollywood isn't a place where people come because it's the last chance they have at making a career for themselves. No. they come here because they want to be the next Terry Rossio or Steven Speilberg or whoever. No one moves to Lorain, Ohio to be the next Adam Smith who works the blast furnace all day. Make sense?

I believe in people negotiating their own contracts in business. Period. If the market is over saturated with workers, then the workers shouldn't be trying to hold the business owner's feet to the fire in order to take a better cut. If they want a better cut and they cannot negotiate it due to the over abundance of competition, then they have to do what everyone else does and find capital to open their own business, et cetera. [sigh] It's just basic business.
