Lost the old Indy magic

I have finally seen it and have mixed feelings. It just doesn't have some of the old Indy magic. The story is even more far fetched than usual and maybe it's a bit overloaded with CGI as well. Cate Blanchett's character is a bit OTT almost to the point of feeling like a comic book character. Overall still an entertaining film but not up there with the first three.

The magic doesn't quite ring true in this one

This film just doesn't seem to have the magic we've all come to know and love from the Harry Potter Verse. While the cast is great in their roles, the story just falls flat. It's attempts to have too many twists without delivering on any of them

I feel the magic

This film for me is magical. I know loads of people says it creeps them out, but to me it just takes me back to those moments when I was a child and felt as if Santa was real. It is just pure wonder and awe and a great adventure. i love that they add some ghost elements as well in a nod to Christmas traditions of old.

promised more than it delivered

Although a great piece of work it never realises it's parts that could have turned it into something very special. The very strong cast play their roles and absorb you. However it continuously hints of something magical underneath and it's this magic which makes you turn the page until the magic, instead of being the core of the book, sputters out before it took hold. Had it not this could have become a classic.
