the Should I See The Latest Indiana Jones Movie Or Not Quiz

Ok, so i saw Indiana Jones, and for those of you who haven't yet seen it, i know what you're going to ask: "mike, should i go see it?" or something to that effect. And since i realize not everyone shares my taste in movies, i try my best to use what i know of the movie to help you make you're own judgement on whether or not it's worth your time and $12. So here's the Should I See The Latest Indiana Jones Movie Or Not Quiz:
Read the following statements and decided how much you agree. Assign a number value based on the scale below.

(the very idea offends me) 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 (it's like you read my mind)

A. I love Indiana Jones movies.
B. A cohesive, well thought out plot is crucial for movie to be enjoyable.

C. Action and humor are reason enough see a movie.

k, now to get your score you're going to do some math: A + C - B = ______
got it? if you score was

7-10: you probably already saw it. if not go do it. now.
3-6: see it, but don't expect a masterpiece.
0-2: lighten up a bit. seriously. then go see this movie (and all the other good ones you've probably missed over the years by taking yourself too seriously).
less than zero: i'm sorry. life must be tough.


I hope that helped. Now IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT AND PLAN TO DO SO, STOP READING NOW.


k, SO while this movie wasn't perfect, i'm going to focus on the parts that i liked:

Jones taking over trucks and other vehicles. Classic.
Lots of swinging on whips and vines and whathaveyou.
Classic Indy fighting.
Henry Jones III. Very much his father's son.
"you're a teacher?" "part time."
"you don't know him!" BAM (head on collision).
the fact that they got away with having this old guy still totally kicking butt.
I'm sure there was more. maybe i'll see it again.
