littlefeltfangsSo just got back from watching Indiana Jones.
It is very cool.
So as cool as running away from pygmies in an ancient temple is for the start of your film, you know what's cooler?
Running away from Russians. In Area51. Watch out for the Ark...
For those of you who know the D20 Modern rules, Indy is apparently a fast hero (duh), with evasion (double duh).
I can only assume a natural 20 on the reflex save.
So the tone for the rest of the film is set by the Reflex save. You know that the film is really not taking itself that seriously. Possibly even less so than previous Indy films, though that would be tricky. They introduce a mini-Indy to potentially carry on the flame, and frankly he's likable. I'd probably go see an Indy film starring him and look forward to it. They do a decent job of retiring off Indy in a way that is not shitty, though did make me cringe slightly from the cheese.
What can I say, its an Indiana Jones film. Its personally my favourite Indiana Jones film. I'd watch it again, probably will be for christmases to come.
