Completely and utterly moronic from start to finish. This is Lucas tripe at its worst...people call this guy a filmmaker? Please. Even "Crusade," as goofy and campy as it is was a more fitting end to the Jones story. This is like Lucas and Spielberg handing you a cinematic turd and smiling while they're doing it. This can't possibly be the script everyone was waiting on after all these years. You're telling me Lucas, Spielberg and Ford finally agreed to flush the toilet on one of the best cinematic characters created? This is "film" is a complete insult to intelligence. But judging by the current score here at IMDb, I guess that's what most people wanted. Congrats, you got it.

There are only two true Indy films; "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Period, end of story. At least I wish.

This film features a very impressive and talented cast with wonderful (and some very brave) performances by nearly everyone on screen (particularly from Alexa Davalos, Radha Mitchell and Billy Burke). Unfortunately, "Feast of Love" is such a complete and shallow mess from start to finish you almost don't care how well performed it is. The film attempts to be so deep and meaningful that nearly every scene, scenario and line of dialogue are simply ridiculous. It tries too hard and achieves very little. I can't comment on Charles Baxter's original novel, but I think it's safe to say that Robert Benton (director), Allison Burnett (screenwriter) and Andrew Mondshein (film editor) conspired to make the most incoherent mess they possibly could. Cut this feature to an hour running time including commercials and throw it on USA Network or Lifetime, because it doesn't cut it as a film. This is a prime example of poor film-making and storytelling that just wastes some truly great performances by a very dynamic and talented cast.

Firstly, I was pretty sure what I was walking into with this film. At the worst, I expected a sub par action/zombie flick, and that's exactly what you get. Well, almost that good, but not quite.

Spoilers ahead?

This was a text book example of just how unoriginal the Hollywood horror genre has become. Not only that, this film actually flaunts that fact. It basically plunders most of George Romer's "Day of the Dead" (1985) for ideas, sets and story lines, and even finds time to rip an action sequence directly from the "Dawn of the Dead" (2004) remake. Fusing all that with the blatant "Max Max" approach does not make it original, fellas. Not content with those two obvious rips, the "filmmakers" do their worst to nip a bit from "The Birds" for a laughable sequence, nick their final monster design from "From Beyond" and "The Swamp Thing" and kill him off with a method right out of "The Cube." Have I missed anything? I'm sure the filmmakers would use the word "homage" to no end, but those who don't buy into the Hollywood copy machine would use the word "insult" instead.

I only have two questions. A) Who green lights this crap? B) How much of the effects budget went to digitally smooth Milla's skin on all her close-ups (it looked ridiculous).

Milla did a decent job and the costume design was nice, so a generous 3 out of 10 for me.
