I should have waited for the DVD…the best way to watch this plodding movie is with a fast-forward button. Don't wait in lines to see it this weekend, see IRON MAN again instead. It's a lot more fun.

Funny you should say that because, um, I’ve seen Iron Man well over twice. (Let’s leave it at that. It’s awesome.)
My daughter didn’t understand what the big deal was about INDIANA JONES. She thought the MUMMY movies were a lot better than CRYSTAL SKULL. I can’t disagree with her — they were a lot more fun, and certainly easier to follow. Maddie asked me to explain the ending, and what happened to the bad guys, and I couldn’t. To me, CRYSTAL SKULL was no where near as good as the last INDIANA JONES movie 18 years ago…
I liked IRON MAN a lot (and so did she). My problem with it was the ending. I am so tired of movies climaxing with giants tossing cars around and throwing the hero through buildings…is that, like, a requirement of superhero movies now?
I just saw the new Indy movie and was very disappointed.
The highlight was seeing Karen Allen again.
And here I enjoyed Indy more then Iron Man. Granted, the ending was over the top, even for Indy. But I certainly felt it was in keeping with the other three.
Keep in mind that I had seen one and three once only and that was several years ago. But I watched all three of them this year. I found parts of all of them slow. In fact, I thought this one was more lively.
Of course, I thought Speed Racer and Narnia were the best movies I’ve seen this month, so what do I know, right?

I liked it for what it was, but there is no way I’m gonna say that made it a “good” movie. It didn’t.
My opinion is that the Indiana Jones series has now become the very B-movie/serial programmers that the first few films were supposed to be homages to. That is not a good thing.
I particular enjoyed the following scenes: (1) going into the warehouse in the middle of the day, then escaping moments later on a gravity sled INTO THE NIGHT; (2) surviving a nuclear explosion inside a refrigerator (which even opens from the inside); and (3) going into a cave at the eyes with endless tears and emerging from a temple. HUH?????
the movie was good as a movie if you didn’t think of it as being an Indiana Jones movie, but as a movie in the Indiana Jones series it was just different, and people don’t like change which I think is the major reason so many people didn’t like it, but I think it was a great movie, Harrison Ford still has it!
