Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull

I just finished watching the fourth Indiana Jones dvd that I rented from netflix.
I am giving the dvd a four out of five stars.
It was a good movie although I don't think the reviews that I read about the movie were rating the movie as high as I just did.
Like I said before, I'm not really into the action and adventure sort of movies but this dvd was good.
I think it was the best of the Indiana Jones movies but I wouldn't rent the movie again.
If you liked the past Indiana Jones movies then you will probably like this one, but if you didn't like the past Indiana Jones movies or you don't really like the action and adventure sort of movies then you probably won't care for this one.
If I had not seen the previously Indiana Jones movies or if I would rated those movies lower then I probably would of rated this Indiana Jones movie at a three and a half stars out of five instead of four stars because I think I stated previously that a dvd rated as three and half stars would of been good enough to rent but not good enough to purchase.

indiana jones and the last crusade

I just finished watching the third Indiana Jones movie.
As with most of the movies that I have reviewed on here I rented it from netflix.
The dvd of Indiana Jones and the last crusade as a whole wasn't really that bad.
It was entertaining and the dvd contained some behind the scenes sort of stuff which were not really that bad.
But, I am still only giving the dvd a three and one half stars out of five.
Like I said, the movie was entertaining but I wouldn't really say that I liked the movie because I'm just not really crazy about the action adventure sort of movies.
There was a forth Indiana Jones movie that came out some time last year I think but I didn't go to the movie theaters to watch it because I didn't think it would be worth it because I'm not crazy about this genre but the dvd wasn't that bad.
On the other hand, I'm not going to rent this movie again.
I rented the Indiana Jones movies because since these were big movies I thought that seeing them would help my creative process as a writer, I have yet to determine if I have actually benefited from watching these movies.
Like I said, 3 and 1/2 stars out of five.

indiana jones and the temple of doom.

I just finished watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and I didn't really care for it.
The dvd had no extras like the last one did and I didn't think the movie was really all that interesting so I give the dvd of the second Indiana Jones movie a two out of five stars.
The dvd mention that the dvd would of given me access to a exclusive website about the movie but I did not go to the website because that would of envolved reloading the dvd and probably downloading some program from the dvd which I didn't want to deal with.
Maybe the website would of contained extras like a 'making of short movie' that I would of enjoyed watching, but like I said that would of envolved doing something that I did not really want to do, which was to download or upload something from the dvd.
So I didn't go to the website.
If I had to choose between watching this movie again or going to the gym and working out then I would of choosen to go the gym.
In other words, I wouldn't recommend this movie.

Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark.

On Saturday I watched the dvd of the first Indiana jones, I put the full title of the movie above.
I give the dvd three and one half stars.
The movie its self wasn't really that bad, it was entertaining but that's about it.
The acting and the writing was good so I can't really say that the movie sucked or that it wasn't worth my time.
It just wasn't a really great movie because I didn't find the subject that interesting.

Iron Man

Earlier in the week I watched the movie Iron Man.
I liked it.
I give it a four out of five stars.
I saw this movie in the movie theaters when it first came out with my friend Chris.
I liked it then and I still like it on dvd.
I wouldn't run out and purchase the dvd because there isn't much more on the dvd than there was on the big screen.
My only complaint about it would be that the dvd didn't come with a whole bunch of extras, none of the behind the scenes sort of stuff or how they made the movie sort of thing.
Other than that, my only other complaint about the dvd was that there weren't any boobies.
So in summary, I give it a four out of five stars because there was not a lot of extras.
