Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings coming to Wii, DS Spring 2009

Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.

1. You’d have to be pretty cynical to dislike Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Why the Indy hate, Jake? It was a solid film, a throwback to the way movies used to be made back in the 80’s.

2. oh no he didnt…

3. I’m not sure why people disliked the latest Indiana Jones either. I found it to be pretty good. Everyone who hates it seems to mention they hate it because it included a sci-fi plot or because it’s not realistic like the first movie. They think the surviving a nuclear bomb inside a fridge is over the top, yet don’t seem to remember the fact they survived a jump from a plane into a raging river in the originals.

   I wish the game trailer showed actual footage, this game could be fun depending on how it’s executed.

4. The film was great, but the ending would have been better if it wasn’t so literal, and they left it up to the imagination a little bit. Maybe play it off like Indy himself wasn’t too sure either, but part of him had to believe. I think if they would chop off the last 5 minutes of the movie, it would have been a classy ending.

5. Thanks, LucasArts!

6. I hated the latest Indy film.

7. The latest indy film was great, silly and over the top, just like all the rest.
   Most people I’ve met who dislike it were too young to have seen the first ones when they came out and only saw them much later when opinions were already formed.

   Anyway, here’s hoping the new indy game is as good as the latest indy movie! 😉

   Looks like you missed out on a really good movie there, kid.

   I agree. They really didn’t have to show the aliens, but….you know, that’s George Lucas for you.

10. this trailor looks pretty cool and the latest movie wasn’t anything but what i’d expect from the series. he’s allowed to find the ark of the covenent and kinda witness gods wrath as spirits melt nazi soldiers in the middle of the desert, stumble across an acient indian cult who can keep people alive while they rip out their victim’s heart and drop them into lava all while enslaving neighboring village children and for good measure they throw in a indie voodoo doll, then he meets one of the knights templar and drinks from the cup of christ and brings his dad back to life with it, but for some reason people got pissed when he saw aliens during the fifties, which makes perfect sense for americana folk history since this was during the time frame when the ufo craze started after roswell. yeah that one’s the stretch and the others are in the limits of realism…they all rocked and i hope this game does too!

11. everyone i know hates the latest indy movie. one of my friends walked out on it. i enjoyed laughing AT it because I’d had quite a few adult beverages beforehand. and i still cringed when shia started tarzaning through the jungle.

    here’s how you know it sucked: quote a phrase from it. (and not just blindly, something WORTH quoting)

    yup. nada. now try it with the other indy movies. easy, right?
    (i’d go with “i don’t know, i’m making this up as i go”; “no time for love dr jones!”; and “you were named after the DOG?!”)

    south park pretty much called it. one of my best friends was, uh, taken advantage of in peru.

    hope the game is enjoyable though.
