Indiana - afraid I'm one of those who thought the plot/script left a bit to be desired. No surprise really from Mr George "i don't rate dialogue" Lucas. But fun none the less.

Very excited about the next Dark Knight instalment. Intrigued by how Disney will do Prince Caspian. Can Disney do dark tales? Otherwise, let' see what the SFF throws us this year.
