I was able to go see the new Indiana Jones flick. I was very excited. I remember watching Indiana Jones when I was little with my dad and my brothers. As I walked in and sat down my first observation was that even though Harrison Ford looked older, he still looked handsome. Shallowness aside, I began watching. I love the time period it was sent in, and I especially liked how they didn't try to cover up Ford's age. It took all the fears of him not being able to do it and through them out the window.
When you take the effort to put aside how ridiculously unrealistic the movie is, you can begin enjoying it. No man is capable of dodging that many bullets, that's all I have to say. Nevertheless, it was a family movie. That being said, kids eat unrealistic for breakfast. It's us old people who find it annoying, and I think that's because we're bitter at reality.
I was happy to see a bit of historical truth mixed in the movie. Of course, with Indiana Jones it wasn't a surprise. Of course they took an interesting history lesson and blew it out of the water. This could be seen as a bad thing or a good thing, personally, I think it was cool. History comes alive with a bit of imagination. Without imagination, I truly don't believe a lot of history would have been uncovered.
Overall, take your family to this movie. Your 6 year old daughter may not like it, but most everyone else will enjoy it to a point.
