oh yea i forgot bout Minority Report its awesome 

catch me if u can its alright 

the terminal blah 

munich was good but way too long and boring 

and u call Indy 4 a decent movie lol it was one of the biggest disappoinments of the decade 

and for war of the worlds i prefer the original 

Well, I can obviously see your taste in movies with your Munich comment.

As for Indiana 4, I am not the only one who thought it was decent.  Over half of the world's top critics agree.

Here is a quote from Roger Ebert that I always use when people talk about Indy 4:

"I can say that if you liked the other Indiana Jones movies, you will like this one, and that if you did not, there is no talking to you."

It had aliens...

I am not sure what you are trying to say.  Perhaps you are saying the movie went out in left field with the alien thing.  But all the Indiana movies rely on finding things that are incredibly out in left field.  The ark of the covenant, that when opened, melts people's faces.  A thousand year old knight guarding a set of chalaces, with one containing magical powers.  All are using real world legends that are completely unrealistic.  The crystal skull is no different.

I'm not saying I didn't like the movie, I liked it. I even have the indiana jones 4-pack.

What I am saying, however, is that before the movies relied on mythology, legends, and the supernatural. In the fourth movie it went all sci-fi on me. Sure, it makes sense because that was what the big deal with the russians was, as the quest for the holy grail and such was to the nazis. It just seems out of place still.

Indiana Jones 4 is the Rocky 5 of Indiana Jones.
