B Movie Budget??

We were really looking forward to the last Indiana Jones film. The cast line up was great and we were looking forward to the new story line.
You can't imagine our disappointment then with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. What happened? Numerous scenes were very obviously sets....the lighting was terrible, and it gave the effect of being a cheap B movie production. The skull? It looked like an acrylic mold filled with crumpled cellophane. It was hard to believe this was a Lucas/Spielberg production.
We enjoyed seeing Ford reprise his best known role although several times he seemed a bit half-hearted in delivering his lines. Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf played their roles well.
The plot? Indiana Jones meets Sci-Fi, and it doesn't go well. It's not believable, very poorly thought through and unnecessarily gimmicky.
We had to see it in theaters as it is the last of the films. Unfortunately, it left us very disillusioned. It's quite the disappointing end for one of our favorite movie characters.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
