Disney+ Raiders of the Lost Ark does not hold up

[blue-sun]

One of the twins is at a sleepover tonight, so we thought we’d watch a movie in the basement, other twin turns on Disney+ and I figure she’s would appreciate Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, so we turn it on.

Decent 4k stream available on Disney+. I know it’s dated, I haven’t watched it myself in probably 25 years but I remember it being decent. Boy was I wrong!

Acting is bad. Effects aren’t special at all. Pacing is horrible. I don’t know if Temple of Doom or Last Crusade hold up, but this one sure didn’t. And who know how shitty Crystal Skull is now, I remember hating it in theaters.

Now you've not only insulted Uncle Rico, but you now are now also dissing GBII

I feel a major ban hammer will be swung shortly...

 

[blue-sun]

For the most part, yes...

You guys really are a modern day Uncle Rico.

Uncle Rico is the man... He's Al Bundy living in his van and lives free....

I'm just curious how many of the people in this thread who complain about the special effects think that Marvel/DC/Transformers movies are as a whole the best thing since sliced bread.

That’s how I’m taking all the comments here. “z0mG Raiders is the best because I saw it in the 80s when I was dumb!”

That’s not from Raiders though. I don’t want to find out if Last Crusade holds up. Don’t wanna ruin this whole trilogy for me.

I mean if its you against the world, who is crazy? You or the world?

I get it sometimes I feel like Im on crazy pills, but maybe you just have high standards for movies that were made in the 80s. I dunno. Maybe Lucas should specialize them like he did Star Wars and you might like it better.

It’s not a “high standard”. It’s my opinion based on what I posted (loved it as a kid, hadn’t watched it in 25+ years, it’s NOT good). It’s all in the thread title. Raiders does not hold up. My opinion, not a fact, not saying you can’t like it.

You should see a therapist or even a psychiatrist. One of the biggest indicators of depression is that you no longer enjoy the things you used to. This is clearly not about movies that are objectively good. It's just you.

This is legit a thing though.

while that may be true, Raiders is still a horrible movie.

This thread brings me joy, ruffling all your feathers!

I made a meme. But don’t try to change my mind.

Now you are just turning into rent free in the Ukraine thread. It was fun but it’s not fun anymore. ?

Seriously.

We get it, you don't like it. However, you're clearly in the minority. Just accept it and realize it may not be us, and may be you.

By continually cherry picking the few reviews that agree with your assessment isn't changing our minds.
