Good to have you back, old friend.

When I first saw the 2nd film in this series, in front of me sat a a kid of eighteen or so wearing a brown fedora. he'd clearly seen the film several times already and from his seat, he threw every punch at the screen that Harrison Ford threw and grinned from ear to ear from start to finish. I didn't go quite as far as this kid, but I felt just the same inside. Indy was the hero we all wanted to be.
The Best news about the new film - Indy has not stopped inspiring, depicted here as the wiser, somewhat-crustier-but-still-tough-as-nails man that we all hope to grow into.
Like Indy himself, the pace has slowed down here more than you would like, But Indy can still take a punch and give back as better than he gets. Chattier than past films, you'll find yourself ahead of the curve a few times and just slightly sacarine-ized by the 50's style bonding. But Spielberg/Lucas have made a film set in the 50's that feels right for it's era, something they haven't done as successfully in the series since the dead-on 40's feel of the first. Great action sequences, 30 minutes more action and less talk would have kept in right in line with the others.
Bottom line, these artists are the best that movies have to offer and they don't disappoint. You just can't help but smile at seeing a true new adventure of this great hero. I'm sure Indy isn't the only older man who's dusting off his fedora for this long-overdue return.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
