Communists Criticise New Indiana Jones Movie.http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080523/film_nm/russia_indianajones_dc

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080523/film_nm/russia_indianajones_dc The newest installment of the Indiana Jones series needn't have featured the Soviets as the villains, despite what Steven Spielberg says. Instead it could have had ODESSA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODESSA attempt to reclaim power, with the patronage of some Right-wing South American military dictatorship. And Indy could try to keep them from attaining the Crystal Skull, which is believed to hold extraterrestrial powers. You see the current plot doesn't make any sense. The Communists, being officialy atheistic, would not have believed in metaphysical power. I also feel that they would have respected the cultural autonomy of the indigenous population, and not attempt to raid them of there ancient artifact. So in my opinion, this movie is like a Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon.
