Karen disappointed in Kingdom of the Skull

The idea of putting her back in the Indiana Jones franchise was definitely a winner but her performance did not fulfill the otherwise expected potential.

Marion is no doubt the best heroine in a movie ever, but sadly she overacted in the latest installment and was no longer the old gal I fell for in Raiders. Her acting was unpolished and just not believable. Little too much like a theater performance. An example is when she drives over the cliff: A crazy and daring stunt in all respect and she just sits there smiling like a dumb blond, which we all know she is not. She is still beautiful but her performance disappointed and the power and pure awesomeness of Marion Ravenwood is sadly still only in Raiders of the lost Ark.

I was disappointed in the way Marion was changed. From the tough girl who fought equally with Indy, she became this soft girl who let Indy take all the fights while she stood and waited and was afraid.

Somebody should have stepped in and said it was no good!
