I watched the new Indiana Jones movie last weekend. Here are some thoughts…

- they shouldn’t have mixed Science Fiction with Indy
Indiana Jones is traditionally known for mythical or biblical adventures, not SciFi. That is what makes him different. You’ll know what I mean when you go see it, there won’t be any spoilers here. Steven Spielberg has to learn to leave SciFi out of his movies especially one of this nature.

- good special effects, exciting scenes but the story seemed pretty light

- the villain looked more like a Nazi type German than Russian

- they should tried to bring back [1] Jonathan Ke Quan (the little Asian boy from Temple of Doom)

- the villain died too easily

Is it worth watching? Definitely. But you might be a little disappointed if you went in with high expectations of it being like the previous three installments … it didn’t stick to a traditional Indy type adventure.

Interesting trivia: [2] Tom Selleck was originally supposed to play Indiana Jones but backed out because he had commitments with the Magnum PI television show. I can’t imagine Indiana Jones with that moustache, can you?
