Et c'est 50/50. Ce qui en soit est déja pas mal vu que je m'attendais à ce que le film se fasse déchirer à Cannes. Enjoy!
“I can say that if you liked the other Indiana Jones movies, you
will like this one, and that if you did not, there is no talking to
you. And I can also say that a critic trying to place it into a
heirarchy with the others would probably keep a straight face while
recommending the second pound of sausage.” Roger Ebert
“This is a 90-minute story pumped up to 123 minutes, not so much on
steroids as on Frappucino, and the chance sing the old four-note tune
again.” Lisa Schwarzbaum, EW.com
“KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL is very much an Indiana Jones movie
and it’s a really hard movie to dislike. Everybody is having a ton of
fun and it is really infectious. The film has its weaknesses, though.”
Quint, AICN
“There’s a lot of magic in this film. A lot of it. I don’t think you
have to be a chapter and verse fan of Indiana Jones to love it. Yes,
LOVE IT. I think you just have to let go, believe and be willing to
have another adventure with INDIANA JONES… because nobody, anywhere
does it like Indy.” Harry, AICN
“Once you get past the initial reintroduction, though, it’s obvious
that this fourth film in the Indy series really has no idea where to
go. Except for the opening — which literally starts the film off with a
bang — and a couple of dazzling chase sequences, “Indiana Jones and the
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is about as unfocused and meandering as
the title itself.” Christy Lemire, Salon.com
“If only Steven Spielberg had said “No thanks, George, I’m not into
corpse fucking.” Then a trusting, wide-eyed, helplessly nostalgic
audience might’ve been spared the shockingly listless spectacle that is
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” “Everyone who’s
written a positive review of this movie will regret it in a year.”
Jeremy Smith, CHUD
“If you want to get prepared for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of
the Crystal Skull, don’t go back and watch the other Indy movies. Pull
out The Lost World instead. Both films are directed by the same Steven
Spielberg - bored, only mildly engaged and seemingly going through the
motions. In both cases the result is superior to your average dumbass
summer blockbuster, but when weighed against Spielberg’s filmography
and the previous films in the franchise comes up sorely lacking.”
Devin, CHUD
“There’s an unsettling amount of science-fiction in this Indy film
and I don’t want to say who included it but my guess is that he may
have raped your childhood back in 1999 (unfortunately, the statute of
limitations has run out so tough luck). And yet, considering the time
period of the 1950s and the space race with the Soviets (the new baddy
army now that the Nazis are kaput), science fiction elements don’t
automatically ruin this film but their inclusion is just sloppy and in
bringing Indiana Jones out of the 1940s, they’ve lost the reason for
why they brought him into existence.” Matt Goldberg, Collider
“He may be more grumpy and he may not be much of a dresser, but the
glimmer hasn’t entirely gone out of Harrison’s eyes.” Josh Tyler, CinemaBlend
“…wraps up in a spectacle of fantastic implausibility. You can’t go
into this movie expecting anything but. This is the ride you paid for,
and by god, I’m happy this ride exists. So, you go with it, and you
aren’t disappointed most of the time.” Matt Dentler, indieWIRE
“This is the Indiana Jones film people have been waiting for.” Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
“The ”Crystal Skull” managed to capture that magic again in a way
that sequels (especially long awaited sequels) very rarely do!” Captain
Cumquat, moviehole
“The rollicking set pieces of Crystal Skull are filled with joy and
are a much-needed lesson to younger directors on how to shoot action.
Rather than just throwing CGI clusterbombs of explosions at the screen
in an attempt to make the audience go “Wow” due to sensory overload,
Spielberg structures his set pieces like a finely-oiled machine. They
have beats of action and dialogue which build upon each other and keep
building, to the point that you’re out of breath when they finally end.
None of the action sequences quite hit the level of the giant rolling
ball of the Lost Ark opening, but the car/truck chase through the
Amazon is a classic of its type - more enjoyable, in my opinion, than
the truck chase in Lost Ark.” The Hollywood Interview Terry Keefe
“For the hardcore Jones fans, this film was never going to live up
to expectations. One cinemagoer leaving the first press screening in
Cannes said: “George Lucas, you gotta stop hurting us”. But this is no
Phantom Menace or Godfather III. The quality control has been
maintained, despite the 19-year wait. And as Indy himself says, “I
dunno kid, it’s just a story.”” Mark Savage, BBC
“Indy 4 has all the sharp writing and set design of the previous
installments, but a failure of scope makes the movie seem small, and
diminishes the wonder.” Ken Lowery, Pop Syndicate
“If this film had been called by another name, and the lead
character was named “Edward Cummings” or something like that instead of
Indiana Jones, I probably would have walked out of the theaters saying
“You know what, that was a pretty damn good (not GREAT) movie”. But as
an Indiana Jones film… one we’ve been waiting 20 years for, I can’t
help but feel a little let down by it. Don’t get me wrong, I still
think it was a pretty entertaining movie and well worth going to see…
but it never felt like an Indy film to me, and it certainly wasn’t
great enough to be worthy of the “Indiana Jones” name.” John Campea, The Movie Blog
“The big question probably on a lot of people’s minds is, “does it
ruin the series the way George Lucas’ Star Wars prequels raped the
magic of the Skywalker tales”? and the answer is no, but it doesn’t
really elevate the series in quality either.” The Playlist
