Of course its not going to be "Raiders" but Harrison still looks like he can kick some a**!

I could totally agree, but word has it that people have screened the rough cut of the film from what I've seen have had really really positive reviews. IIRC, a few of them have said they think it's the best one since the original. NOT MY WORDS- Just relaying the rumors and buzz I've seen.

IMO, it has to be better than TLC, and Shia LeBouf is a welcomed addition to the series. I've always liked the kid since he won Project Greenlight way back in the day. I think the plan is to have him takeover the franchise. He seems to have a general appeal for movie audiences, and is actually a pretty talented actor. He fits in with today's action hero, in the sense that he can actually act and doesn't look like Sly or Arnold, thanks to CGI taking care of action scenes.

I will probably see it. But I won't be surprised if it tanks.

Also, for what it's worth, Jonah Hill is rumored to be in Transformers 2.

It's confirmed. Check out DarkHorizons.com if you're interested in movie / entertainment news. He plays Shia's college room mate that is a government conspiracy nut and runs a website about it and news of the weird.

Not another one. I didn't like the first one.

Really? Maybe because Michael Bay directed it I had VERY low expectations, but I thought the 1st 2/3rds of the film was extremely solid, and only lacked in dragging a bit too long and the end not being all that spectacular. I thought it relied too much on visuals at the end, and Bay hasn't quite figured out that everyone isn't going to be blown away by CG filler anymore. Maybe that worked back in the day for The Abyss, Independence Day, or Armageddon, but now you have to know how to blend both visual effects and actually have a solid script and actors to wow people. IMO, principal casting went a long way to making the film much more appealable then simply relying off visual effects.

Its not going to tank. Even if its horrible (it wont be) it will make 200 mil minimum.

Saw it last night. Pretty good flick... also, they snuck something into the movie.

When Gwyneth Paltrow is copying files onto the USB drive, watch the files... one file that lingers on screen a moment longer than others has the name "Lebowski" prominently displayed.

Sweet. Love little easter eggs like that.

Did you stay till after the credits? I keep hearing there's one last scene that's great. (Haven't seen it yet... I'm taking my son for his birthday next week.)

Wrong word choice on my part. I meant sucks. I know full well it will make all its money, which is why they made it. If you need other examples of pure money grabs see Star Wars 1-3 and Pirates 2 & 3. With the exception of maybe an hours worth of entertainment between those 5 movies, they all sucked and sucked hard.

Yeah. It's a huge fanboy moment, it sets up 2, and it's funny because of who they cast. Funny in a good way.

Yep. I've said this all along. And everyone else tells me that he's type cast as Even Stevens for life. I guess they just ignore everything else. To me, though, his true break out performance was Disturbia. Holes and The Greatest Game Ever Played were mediocre Disney feel good movies that really didn't change much of what he'd already played. Disturbia, I thought, really tested his abilities.

I dont hate on Star Wars 1-3 as much as most fanboys.

There are things in those flicks i love and things in there i dont like, but all in all, they are pretty entertaining.

IMO, "The Empire Strikes Back" is still the glue that holds the whole franchise together.

As for the Pirate flicks, i agree. Loved the first one, 2 and 3 were convoluted and way overblown.
