LOVED IT!

I loved the movie. I was a little concerned when they first presented the crystal skull and it looked like a piece of cheap acrylic stuffed with saran wrap. I thought "OH NO! George Lucas and Spielberg couldn't come up with something better than saran wrap?" I was afraid I was in for 2 hours of cheese but, the rest of the movie made up for the cheesey prop. I am a HUGE IJ fan and wouldn't have missed this for anything. I enjoyed that they put in some references that only a true IJ fan would catch. Like the picture of the Ark of the Covenant in the warehouse at Area 51. I wasn't real hip on the alien thing considering IJ is usually a historical archeologist but once I noticed the "51" reference during the opening sequence I was pretty sure we were going to see an alien in there somewhere. I thought Cate Blanchett did a wondeful job playing the freak communist and I liked that you needed to be past high school to really understand the references to McCarthyism in the late 50s. Too many movies today are written for dumb kids! I love movies written for adults! All-in-all I think Lucas and Spielberg did a great job eventhough they had a cheesey prop!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
