re: One thing I will say about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

True but the vine swinging was horrible.

why exactly did the benign aliens set things up to kill the person who returned the skull while at the same time wiping out the next door village.

along with the terrible script, the direction was equally bad. Daytime to night in minutes. The magnetism was a real mess with some soldiers struggling while the person next to them was unaffected.

terrible film. For me an even larger disappointment than the star wars prequels.
