New Indiana Jones movie is much better than Crystal Skull. No longer feels like a Mummy film, and has the feel fight. But old Indy is essentially dull. It’s supposed to be an action adventure b-movie, and he can’t do any action so it becomes more character based.
It’s a good enough story, and is perfectly fine. But this should have stopped after Crusade.
3 whips out of 5. 1 of those for nostalgia

I enjoyed it, like all modern blockbusters it was too long but aside from that I thought it was good. But, I'm not the biggest Indy fan around - I haven't seen Crystal Skull - but would still give it 3 without the 1 for nostalgia.
I thought this had the best de-aging so far, much better than The Irishman etc.
Also saw No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Lawerance this week and my @kruse review of it is:
Titwatch - yes. -
Blade
I have vague memories of enjoying this, and pop-culture-websites reminding me it was good, or at least worthy of being "a thing".
It's not... it's shit.
There's so much bad about this, I have no idea why anybody ever thought it was ever good.
Tit-watch: zero.
Currently watching the finale... none of this makes sense, none of the entire movie ever did, this is bad even for a 90s movie.
Edit: fuck, I hope numbers 2 & 3 are better... I recall them being shit, but this is a bad start. -

Titwatch - yes.Thank you. This is all we need to know.

Am beginning to suspect that Richard Rush's notorious stinker, Color of Night, has been misread since release. If viewed as a parody of erotic thrillers, de Palma movies, and Italian Giallo films, then it is very amusing, including the hilarious miscasting, stupid plot points, and jarring tonal flaws.
One hour in, and have cracked up several times. How bad an actor is Scott Bakula!
Rush made genre spoof comedies for most of his career, and this seems like he was hired to make a Basic Instinct rip-off, but made one of his own type of movies instead.

saw it last night...loved it....comfortably sits alongside the first 3 for me
we have puzzles, zomb raiding, trains, fights on train, lots of nazis getting their arses kicked, and a tiny bit of "magic" at the endthey address indy's age perfectly but we also get young indy for a long opening sequence, they address shia whats his names character not being in it and actually make it part of his character development...there is little i would have changed....I might have been tempted to leave him in the past, seems like an acceptable end to the character, also nice he ends up with an are appropriate love interest and the same Marion from the first one, didn't re cast a much younger actress or jam in a new love interest into this one

Blades 2 & 3
- Slightly less drunken for these
- Enjoyed them more
- They might have been worse, but... booze.. I mostly didn't hate them as much
- Tit-watch: still zero
- The prototype for modern super-hero movies

- (To be fair - the first one was the true prototype for superhero movies. EVERYTHING about it... and each of the sequels just cemented the formula)

Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
Campy. Overly long. A pale, pathetic version of the much better Ridley Scott effort.

I love that movie. Have never been able to explain why.
