I was apprehensive about this film at first. While I can say it does not overshadow Raider of the Lost Ark nor The Last Crusade, this movie was definitely worth the expense. The story had the same elements of the other three, but given that the legends were from a culture few have a lot of exposure to, the story may not have been that engaging. Nonetheless, the story provided a wonderful backdrop for the interactions of our beloved characters. There were few loose ends that were left unaddressed, as can happen with many sequels. While there were some parts that left a little to be desired, this was still an excellent movie. Compared to the others in the series, this is a difficult place to shine at all. Compared with the rest of Hollywood dreg that often floods our screens, this was amazing.
