Well on coming out of the cinema I must admit I was perplexed somewhat. I came out thinking it was like a cross between National Treasure and the X Files! The search for a City of Gold and the Alien contingent made this film feel like a million miles from the original Indiana Jones films - even so, it was enjoyable!! A few friends saw this before me and had said it was good but a little far-fetched, and I can only agree! Even though the first 3 films were somewhat far-fetched too, this one seemed more so. The quest for the Holy Grail compared to cross dimensional aliens! Also the fact that Indy survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge - a bit mad! A big disappointment for me was the bad guys - I loved it when Indy fought the Nazis - somehow the Russians didn't seem quite so formidable!! All in all a good film - Just don't go in hoping to compare it with previous Indy outings, because you may be disappointed.

Really Enjoyed!

I have to say, I was reluctant to see this film. Mainly due to the poor films that Jennifer Aniston has been in. But I was very pleasantly surprised.
The film is fast paced and thoroughly enjoyable, with plot twists galore and at least one bit that will make you jump out of your seat!
Clive Owen is simply yummy in this film (personally I think he would make an excellent 007!!)
Jennifer Anistons performance is also top notch... her character is solid and interesting.
So all in all, a highly recommended film...... Well worth watching!

Brilliant

It has got to be said that there are not many movies these days that will make you laugh and cry the way Beaches does...... from the hilarious 'Otto Titsling' song (which had me in creases!) to the powerful and emotional ending to the film, in which 'Wind Beneath My Wings' is immortalised.
This is a film that has touched everyone I know that has seen it, and is a timeless classic that really illustrates the true meaning of friendship.
A true 'Chick Flick'...... definitely well worth watching if you haven't seen it...... And If you don't cry, you certainly are not human!
