Revised opinions on Indiana Jones pt4

So, I have been advised by one of my more interesting friends (Martha) whose opininion I hold in the highest regard, to re-blog my comments on Indian Jones 4:

***Please do not read if you haven't seen the movie, as I do rather give the ending away big time***

I was excited to see Indy, so came out of the cinema with a bit of a glow, and wrote the blog about 30 mins after, but the more I think about it the more I see plot holes and shit bits:

This is how our conversation went:

Martha says:
Ay up. I can't believe you thought Indiana Jones was any good...
Captain Mart says:
I'm revising my opinion the more I think about it
Martha says:
Downwards, I take it?
Captain Mart says:
Indeed.
Martha says:
You'll have to reblog it.
Captain Mart says:
I was excited to see Indy, but the more I think about it the more I see plot holes and shit bits.
Martha says:
I was really excited too. But was instantly annoyed by opening shot of unnecessary CGI animal, and didn't really improve from there. Most disappointing.
Martha says:
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
Captain Mart says:
Yes- I didn't understand the whole opening sequence with the roadster car and the girls? and the CGI car chase later on, which wasn't as good as the speeder bike chase in Jedi 20 years ago...
Martha says:
I think the opening was an incredibly self indulgent American Graffiti reference from Lucas. That was my take on it.
Captain Mart says:
Ahhh, good point, if you cut out all the self referential and self indulgent stuff, you could cut an hour from the film.
Martha says:
And no, the later car chase was mostly rubbish. Especially the anti communist monkeys, and the kamikaze jump into the river as if she knew she'd land on a magic tree which would gently deposit them into the water.
Captain Mart says:
And why did the English bloke, (Ray Winston), just lie on the floor at the end and tell Jones to go? Did he sprain his ankle?
Martha says:
Beats me. I didn't get that either.
Captain Mart says:
And why did the aliens have a dimension gate AND a space ship? you'd only need one.
Martha says:
Why did we have to have any bloody aliens at all?
Martha says:
Felt very wrong.Captain Mart says:
Yes I agree, that was part of the SS and GL self indulgent bolloxness.
Captain Mart says:
Can I post this conversation in my blog and save time and effort?
Martha says:
Sure. Just take out my typos...
