   For that particular scene I agree; it got silly, particularly the sword   
   fight.

   I don't agree re. Star Wars, the CGI is extremely well done and fits with   
   the prequels.

   I wasn't sure what to make of that, but the scene felt odd to me,   
   particularly LeBouffon's ridiculous Marlon Brando impression. The stunt   
   itself did perhaps hail back to times past for Indy, as he's always been a   
   bit of an anti-hero who didn't always get it 100% right.
