I am actually surprised at how much I forgot.<BR/><BR/>The Ants.<BR/>The Grave yard scene: Indy is looking for the burial remains of several of the Spanish Conquistadors. There is a warning against Grave Robbers. Indy and Mutt are attacked by a very fast moving person wearing a mask and shooting darts. The kids did not like this guy. Also, the Spanish Conquistadors that Indy is looking for are perfectly preserved in their wrappings, but age when they come in contact with air. Not like Last Crusade. Finally, at the culmination of the movie, Cate Blanchet’s character’s eyes catch on fire when she gets her “just reward.”<BR/><BR/>Katie did confirm that it was not that scary.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774825654612120198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20818116.post-8470989637370658962008-05-24T17:19:00.000-04:002008-05-24T17:19:00.000-04:00Let's see, Raiders had face melts.

I thought they were pretty scary.<BR/><BR/>Caspian had fights, but I think that it was aimed towards families with kids.<BR/><BR/>But, overall, I thought KOCS was milder than the other three. Both Katie (10) and Megan (8) saw it and agreed that the original three were much scarier.<BR/><BR/>I do not recall any, as Steve would delicately put it, any Bom-Chika-Bom-Bawhm ala the first ten minutes into Iron Man. Indy is not sticking his hands down a women's dress to recover any anti-dote and no Austrian Women are nibbling on his ears.<BR/><BR/>My suggestion is, when in doubt, check it out. I seriously think that this is a movie you could watch twice.<BR/><BR/>However, because it is PG-13, you never know what the "Pre-Show" videos will contain or the trailers. We lucked out on both cases, but, this might be another reason to go and see it.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, I am not sure why this got a PG-13.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774825654612120198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20818116.post-25864801205405717442008-05-24T16:51:00.000-04:002008-05-24T16:51:00.000-04:00Is it scarier that the original 3 films?

Can you draw a comparison?Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03434133687375294309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20818116.post-8612332476108655852008-05-23T18:59:00.000-04:002008-05-23T18:59:00.000-04:00Steve - that was always my thoughts as well.

The other two were a bit more over-the-top. I find myself hoping this iteration returns a bit more to the roots of the original, much like the latest "Batman Begins" movie. We'll see...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667536093439755654noreply@blogger.com
