As this is the first film thoughts I have posted, I had better set out my colours. I am not a professional film critic (which in the UK generally means look down your nose at anything that might appeal to the normal film goer and be as negative as possible about everything). I like quality rubbish. I will watch more high brow stuff, and find it surprisingly entertaining, but will generally go for the high entertainment, Neanderthal brow great fun couple of hours. I’m also going to stay away from a film’s plot. I like going to see a film and knowing the least possible about it - better surprise then.

As you have probably guessed, Indiana Jones is right up my street. In summary, its great fun. The two hours in the cinema felt like half an hour. There was action, giggles, and some great effects. Suspend disbelief and its good. One aspect that I was surprised by and thought worked well was they had not scrubbed Harrison Ford to make Indiana Jones look young. He modeled grey hair throughout (obviously under a fedora!) Don’t worry, the grey hair has not slowed the action down, the bull whip is still in good use. Spielberg keeps a great tempo - its not a film which gets boring due to either too long a slow interlude, or so much frantic action that it becomes relentless and dull (as it no longer feels fast ’cause its all fast). Go see it - its worth a cinema trip.
