I recently watched the new Indiana Jones movie (Steven Spielberg, 2008). It was less than all the hype had put it at. It had many different plans and ideas than used in the original series of Indiana Jones. The first new concept that i noticed was that major increase and use of special effects. Almost every shot or scene had some special effects added. This took away from the felling of the original series that everyone could connect to. This first distanced many viewers from the start. It set the tone of the movie and that it would be a totally new concept. I applaud Stephan for trying to make a old series new by adding a new age twist to it but many viewers of the original series disliked this addition. "For fans of the original films, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull that is reminiscent of the glory days of the series. However, for every great segment, there are five or six bad ones, leaving a barely entertaining film that presents far too many historical inaccuracies and emotional gaps and provides one of the most horrid titles in recent memory." This is just one review from Rotten Tomatoes from many that had a disgusted taste in their mouth. I am disappointed by the overall plot and style that the movie was produced in. This took away from the movie and is one reason why so many people where left with there heads down out the theater.

I agree with you Kanne about the special effects being too much. It just doesn't bring the same feeling as the originals do. Also, Stephan Spielberg or STEVEN Spielberg???!!! ... nice.
I also agree, I think that this movie took away from the true Indiana Jones movies. (nice spelling of Steven-Do some research..Ha)
It has been changed now so cool down you two.
