I rewatched it today and I was surprised with how much I enjoyed it. I remember watching it years ago and being apathetic with it and thinking it was just ok but the rewatch definitely made me change my mind. I was really entertained with the action and the dialogue with Harrison Ford and Shia labeouf was pretty entertaining ( this is coming from a Shia hater).

I have to address the elephants in the room. It definitely jumps the shark with the fridge nuke, Shia swinging on vines, aliens and I do think they are a little stupid but they honestly don’t bother me. Maybe I’m just desensitized to stupid things in movies with all the marvel stuff that comes out now so now crystal skull doesn’t seem out of place anymore.

This kind of comes with a conversation with George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg losing their touch as they age. But I will say with both of these people you could never say either of them didn’t care. In my personal option George’s and Stephen’s worst ideas in the film still had more thought and care put into them then any idea in in the dial of destiny.

Who knows maybe my nostalgia is getting in the way. Thoughts?
