Ok, I watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for the first time in probably 15 years last night and it’s actually much more fun than I remember now I’ve had all this time to get over the fact it was aliens all along. It does have all the usual problematic Indiana Jones stuff going on, but it feels like there’s maybe a little less of it in this one? Low bar, but still.

#minor spoilers #for a movie that came out in 2008 #anyway I think this movie was a victim of the thing we all do #where we say we wanna see something original #but actually we’re very averse to artistic risk and react strongly against it #this is how we end up with every movie feeling the same like mcu or unbelievably cowardly like rise of skywalker #anyway I judged this too harshly #it’s still indiana jones tho so like go in eyes open if you wanna give it a try
