Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - The Filthy Critic

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - as seen through the bleary eyes of The Filthy Critic

"Once the mystic shit is out of the bag, Director Spielberg lets it all loose. The last third of the movie is handed over to fake looking CGI, including a chase with one guy straddling two jeeps while they race through the jungle, and LaBeouf instantly befriending monkeys who teach him to swing. There is a lot more going on but it all looks fake and feels even faker. It's as busy as hell, sort of like when the Harelip is telling a lie, she swings her arms wildly, thinking that if she accidentally knocks over the pickle jar or the Beer Nuts stand that'll somehow distract you from disbelieving the bullshit pouring out of her mouth. Finally, we see the aliens, the final flush of the toilet. Or, in this case, the turd that clogs the bowl, and then the shit just overflows."
