Finally, Indy 4 is out on DVD and I can get to watch it!

I've heard all the so-so reviews, but I'm still excited. It's Indy! How can that not be ace?

DH4 was ace! Bonkers and totally OTT, but enormous fun.

imho, ymmv (as it clearly does) :-)

EB managed to get to see it at the cinema with his grandma and I managed to completely fail to orgnise my life in time to see it (well, to see it in enough time for it not to be on one of the pokey little cinema screens).

What kind of world would it be if we all liked the same things, eh? :-)

I'd have been happier with DH4 as a movie if they hadn't had "Die Hard" in the title and hadn't called the central character John McClane; it's OK as an action thriller, if a little stylised for my tastes, but I found it completely and utterly soulless. McClane as a coldly dispassionate agent of justice just didn't work for me. It did for many others, as its IMDB rating shows.

much like the new Italian Job, which only bore a fleeting resemblance to the original (it had minis in it, and some gold).

I still rather like the new version, in that it's a perfectly competent heist flick, and I would enjoy it just as much if it were titled such.
