i finally saw it. spoilers included.

"so i can forgive them the fact that the crystal skull looks like tin foil wrapped in saran wrap."

"and i can forgive them a completely ludicrous five-minute-long fencing fight on top of two cars in the middle of the jungle."

"or that the crystal skull is only magnetic when it's convenient."

"and that random incan ancient tribal people are still living around in secret old ancient cities despite that they have supposedly been abandoned for centuries and how do they, like, eat?"

"i will even forgive them the swinging monkey ropes."

"and the survival of a nuclear blast in a FRIDGE."

"BUT I CANNOT FORGIVE THEM THE ALIENS."

seriously. wtf?

Well, I thought it was pretty good. The alien thing didn't even come close to bothering me, at least in theory--I thought the alien at the end was pretty stupid, but as a primary theme for the movie I was fine with it. It was certainly not a perfect movie, but it was a very fun movie and I wasn't disappointed by it at all.
