Unfortunate

Unfortunate. That's about the best word I can come up with for this hodge podge of Universal Studios theme park ride backgrounds and week dialogue remeniscent of the horrid Star Wars prequels. How dare they! How dare Lucas and Spielberg drum up such a contorted film and slap the Indiana Jones title to it. Did anyone honestly walk away from it with the satisfactory feelings they did from the previous 3? I knew within the first 5 minutes of dialogue in the Area 51 scene that It was going to be lame. Why do they need to do this? Why do they need to slap the "when I was younger" jokes into a storyline they've decided to return to? Why do they need to over explain everything? I don't need to know what Indy has been doing since 1942 or whenever it was. Just tell the story later in his life and let it be. Indiana Jones running away from a huge stone ball, or 200 natives...OK, surviving an atomic blast in a lead-lined refrigerator??? Come on! Throw in the tacky dialogue between Indy and Marion and a wedding scene and you've got another great story killed by one too many sequels. Much like Terminator, Back to the Future, Rocky and hundreds more. Speaking of hundreds more...how about the plethora of Indiana Jones novels cramming Barnes and Noble stores throughout the country that they could have chosen from for a movie. Let's throw in a purple light saber and a "boy it's colder than carbonite" line after the water falls scene. Thanks Lucas and Spielberg. Can't wait for Indiana Jones 5...Son of Indy.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
