Harrison Ford...Like Your Grandpa Only Buffer
Harrison Ford looks great from the neck down. Unfortunately, everything above the neck looks like James Traficant.
The new Indiana Jones movie is getting mixed reviews after its premiere in Cannes. Some people like the old-fashioned vibe it gives off while others are disconcerted by all the special effects. I haven't seen it obviously, but my guess is that they sort of fudged it...they wanted a lot of classic Indiana Jones feel to keep the old fans happy, but didn't want to alienate the younguns, and so threw in a lot of CGI and crazy superhero shit.
Ultra-big-budget movies always have the same sense of nervous anxiety about them, the same quality of trying to be all things to all people. By trying to please everyone, they end up being too busy and manic and mind-numbing. I doubt this one is any different.
