After paying full theater price to get hosed by Star Wars III: The Whimpering End To A Disastrous Prequel, I swore I'd never, ever see a movie in the theater again. However, seeing as how I'm such an Indy fan, I guess even vows are made to be occasionally broken and this is the one I'm breaking it with. Yeah. I'll be in the theater.

This movie would have been good if not for the sheer ridiculousness of it all. It seemed more like an exaggerated parody of Indiana Jones than anything else. First time I go to the movies in a while and it's a big disappointment, shouldn't be surprised I guess. Almost all Hollywood movies these days seem to be either ADHD with action and special effects or cliche drenched in mellodramtic bs.

Well, just got back from the early show. It was good! Not great, but mostly enjoyable with mind-numbing special effects and over-the-top chases and fights. Not enough real drama for my tastes, but overall fun.
They'll never be able to repeat the mystique of Raiders of the Lost Ark. After the first sequel I realized that. So now I just go along for the ride. The ending seemed to be Steven Spielberg's all the way. Don't want to give it away but I think it could have been better. The obvious 'New Indy' who looks like Bobby Darin, was pretty good. Didn't like his persona at first, but he kind of grows on you. Karen Allen, who was okay in the first movie, was okay in this one, too. I was kind of glad to see her back. Overall I'd give it 1-thumb and a pinkie up. But a must-see for Indiana Jones fans. Well now to turn my attention to the Indy 500! A day devoted to Indiana, what a coincidence...  Rick

My wife and I both liked the new one.Personally,I think all 4 movies in the series were over the top.Im really glad that theyve toned down the violence and gore in this one.And in this series it seems like Speilberg has always thought that manic and shrill equalled comedy,espescially in the second one,which was a lot worse than this one.
I would love to see another one with Ford and Lebouf.That would be a lot of fun. Jimmy

Went last night and loved it. I noticed young people who hadn't grown up with the Jones movies weren't as taken as we were.
You guys who think it's over the top must have never watched any of the others I see. If you can't suspend belief for 1 1/2 hours and enjoy it for what it is you need a life  Which is why they're called action movies. Any resemblance between them and actual events is completely accidental
