Instead of going in with those critiques ringing around my head and an attitude of 'convince me', I simply went with the expectation of being entertained. It's a lighthearted, ever so slightly silly adventure movie. I think people might have been expecting something of it that the old films weren't. By that I mean; I think people tend to forget that the first three were pretty daft as well. Not completely goofy, but to me the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail or magical stones are no more or less fantastical than the central mystery of this film.<BR/><BR/>Naturally people level harsher criticism at the things they really care about, but this is no Phantom Menace. Not by a long, long shot.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and weekday morning matinees really are the only way to do cinema these days!Swabbleflangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648774352329503348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32018994.post-22623899569351190812008-06-06T22:01:00.000+01:002008-06-06T22:01:00.000+01:00So it turned out nice after all then?

I've basically avoided going partly out of contempt for the cinema experience these days (in fact just this very morning, I had a 'nightmare' about The Dark Knight being ruined by having the sound drowned out by screaming whelps and rapacious popcorn munchers) but mostly for feared of being burned again after a fiasco involving a certain other trilogy...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32018994.post-65125820454528882562008-05-22T19:27:00.000+01:002008-05-22T19:27:00.000+01:00Nice wrap-up.
