That’s right!  You are not alone.  That is, if you were disappointed by the Indian Jones sequel, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  And guess what … star of the movie, Shia LaBeouf, felt the same way, reports MTV News.

Last week at the Cannes Film Festival, LaBeouf made his opinion on the movie very clear.

“I feel like I dropped the ball on the legacy that people loved and cherished,” LaBeouf said.  “You get to monkey-swinging and things like that and you can blame it on the writer and you can blame it on Steven [Spielberg, director].  But the actor’s job is to make it come alive and make it work, and I couldn’t do it.  So that’s my fault.  Simple.”

But the star was not just concentrated and concerned about himself.  LaBeouf is aware of the perception that’s out there and he shows respect for the audience.

“I think the audience is pretty intelligent.  I think they know when you’ve made [crap],” LaBeouf said.  “And I think if you don’t acknowledge it, then why do they trust you the next time you’re promoting a movie?”

This unusual display of honesty in an industry typically driven by studios and publicists is quite nice.  But there is always the down side for speaking out.

“I’ll probably get a call,” LaBeouf said.  “But [Spielberg] needs to hear this.  I love him.  I love Steven … And I would never disrespect the man … But when you drop the ball you drop the ball.”

While the new “Indiana Jones” movie is receiving positive early reviews, star Harrison Ford has even more glowing compliments for his young co-star, Shia LaBeouf.

“He has an enormous talent,” Ford said at a press event over the weekend. “He had some very archaic skills to acquire and he worked really hard. He will be around for a long, long time.”

LaBeouf said he was nervous to take on the role of Ford’s sidekick. “It’s terrifying and exciting,” he said. “Even if you’re welcome the scope is daunting and you have to get past that Harrison is Harrison – that’s very scary.”

He noted that though Ford isn’t easy to befriend, the two bonded over doing their own stunts. “We started by jumping right into stunts and you find this mutual respect with Harrison… And when we became friends everything became easier.”
