‘Indy 4′ Box Office So Far: $126 Mil
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull so far has banked $126 million since opening on Thursday, according to box office estimates. The long-awaited sequel, reuniting the dream team of producer George Lucas, director Steven Spielberg, and star Harrison Ford, made about $25 million in its first day, then over a three-day period tallied an additional $101 million. That’s the biggest movie debut of 2008 so far. Also, after just four days, Crystal Skull is already at No. 3 for total 2008 box office, behind Iron Man (No. 1) and Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! (No. 2).
I went and saw this yesterday, with my oldest son. We waited in line for 2 hours before getting to see it! I grew up with Indiana Jones, so it was worth the wait, for me.
I want to keep talking about it – but I don’t want to ruin it for everyone…if you’ve seen Indiana Jones 4 – click on more!
So what I want to know, is did you guys like it? I liked it… but man, I was totally surprised to see ALIENS! It was like a Sci-Fi Indiana Jones! I wasn’t expecting that at all!
What did you guys think?

You’re kidding, yes? It was so bad it was laughable. The theater we went to Sunday afternoon was roaring — and not in the supposed-to-be funny scenes.
Wooden dialogue, forced relationships with little or no backstory, unknown characters we’re supposed to identify and blatent rip-offs of previous characters and roles. It was a cinematic farce … definitely a let-down that didn’t have to happen.
To me, it was as though someone said, ‘hey, we need to do another sequel before Ford is too old to carry this shit and let’s find someone to hand-off the legacy to in case we want to make more’ … except they didn’t transition it well enough for LeBouf to carry the next one on his own.
Sad, really … but I’m glad you liked it.

It was entertaining, but nothing like the first 3. Ford id too old, and the torch was not passed to LeBouf as it should have been. But he can’t carry the movie like Ford could. I liked it, but Pirates and Ironman were both better.
