So much of what you saw in this new movie could have been done 20 years ago with practical effects and would have looked a lot better. Once again, I blame George Lucas for taking a concept that was just fine 20 years ago and monkying around with it so much that it's a little ruined. Yeah, there were some major bullcrap moments in the movie that were so unbelievable you had to just keep reminding yourself you were watching an Indy movie, but overall I enjoyed it...even though I had to deal with Shia Laboeuf. God, I hate him. So much. My main complaint was that there was just too much CGI.

I don't suppose it matters, either way is fine with me. Yeah but Han has lasers and Chewbacca on his side!! I don’t suppose it matters, either way is fine with me.

They took phone calls from listeners and that was what the majority voted. They decided that Indy would win because he’s smarter and Hans is just a space pirate.

I've been debating on whether or not to watch the original trilogy again myself, but instead of watching them in order putting them in time order instead. And out of curiosity...who won the fight between Han and Indy? Indy overload!!

I watched them a long time ago and barely remember them. I guess I have to catch up on those before giving this one a shot. I wasn’t really a fan per se of the first 3.

It's got a lot of really cool chase scenes and the humor is still there. No it's not a perfect movie but it is a good put your brain on hold movie.

I'll probably wait longer, after all my expectations aren't too high. On a side note: I was listening to a pretty funny debate on the radio on who would win in a fight, Hans Solo or Indiana Jones (when they were both in their prime). :) I’m still not sure if I want to see this.

You only get to see him for a couple of seconds when one of the camera's is panned over the tv screen.
