Adventure-Treff

Aber ich kann mir schon gut vorstellen, dass der Film vergeigt wird.
Vielleicht sind die Erwartungen auch einfach zu groß. Aber ich kann mir schon gut vorstellen, dass der Film vergeigt wird.

Also ich hab seit eben welche. Mittwoch, 21.5., Kinopolis Bad Godesberg. *freu*

Ja Mensch, hättest du was gesagt!

Ich lasse mir den neuen Film jedenfalls nicht im Vorfeld madig machen, dafür freue ich mich schon viel zu lange auf sein Erscheinen. Wenn er mir nicht gefällt, kann ich ihn ja immer noch kritisieren - NACH der Sichtung. ^^

Kruttan hat geschrieben:Der Spiegel hat nen Artikel drüber gebracht. Meines Erachtens etwas stark unangebrachte Kritik, die auch schon auf die Vorgänger anzuwenden ist (da ja niemand den neuen Film gesehen hat). Sowas wie (platt gesagt), dass Realismus fehlt und der Film der Unterhaltung dient. Naja, Spiegel eben...

Naturally, the viewers who did get in were pussycats. “I don’t give a fucking shit. You can’t save four seats,” said the British-accented gentleman behind me after climbing the Grand Théâtre Lumière’s steep balcony. The screening began with the audience singing the Indiana Jones theme music and at least one individual sensibly exhorting his fellow audience members to “shut the fuck up.”

The closing credits inspired applause and a smattering of boos. Despite my roommate’s prediction that everyone would review the film on his or her Blackberry before the second reel had ended, my sense is that Paramount doesn’t approve of early critiques. So you’ll have to wait until Time Out Chicago’s regular review to find out whether Skull:

(a) Might have been tighter and more exciting with fewer digital monkeys, ants and—yes—gophers at Spielberg’s disposal.

(b) Is, in spite of the claims that will be made both for and against it, a perfectly respectable attempt to resurrect the franchise. Harrison Ford demonstrates curious facility with a refrigerator, escapes from a college campus, drives in a high-speed jungle pursuit like the best of ’em and shows off an impressive knowledge of Pre-Columbian dialects. (Question: Were those anonymous natives waiting to ambush him since Pre-Columbian times?)

(c) Plays like every idea anyone involved ever had for an Indiana Jones (or Close Encounters?) sequel smushed together—an attempt to satisfy everyone’s expectations, with the result that most demographics will be entertained at least part of the time, though perhaps not all the time.

(d) Features Cate Blanchett as a villain who appears to be a distant cousin of Austin Powers’ Frau Farbissina, or at least the From Russia with Love character who inspired Frau. (Spielberg acknowledges that James Bond was a huge influence on Indy.)

Or…

(e) All of the above.

No answers until later this week! For me, it’s back to raunchy Filipino movies and Wong Kar-wai re-edits.
