For God's sake, Mr. Bowman...Please, give it a rest!!

Have you ever gone to the movies simply for escapism? You know, to have fun and be entertained?

In all honesty, it's not hard to detect a whiff of elitist snobbery in your reviews. I often get the impression that I'm reading the opinions of a frustrated film-school grad who despises anything not made by a self-important director with a European surname.

You seem to take perverse pleasure in being contrarian simply for the sake of being contrarian. You hated "Iron Man," a high-octane super-hero adventure movie that audiences and many critics enjoyed, and now you've aimed your high-born negativity on the iconic "Indiana Jones."
