I went in not expecting much and was not disappointed. The "Blair Witch" format has been long dead since, well, Blair Witch. One positive thing, it does have some parts where you jump on your seat. But to be honest, I almost fell asleep three times throughout the movie.
It had a really nice advertisement campaign but fell short on quality and entertainment. Did not rate it poor due to the plot was well developed.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Went to see this movie expecting it to be yet another idiotic spoof like Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans or Superhero Movie. Was impressed on the quality of the jokes plus the timing of them. Much better than expected and will like to say, I stand corrected, is not another stupid spoof, it is an enjoyable spoof movie.
Well written, good acting. Has been a long time since I could say I would pay full price again to see this with a friend.
I guess I went in expecting to see something a bit better, given that Borat was hilarious. The film has its blow out funny moments, followed by Blah ones.
I laughed a lot, but the actual lack of consistency on the humor level made me check my watch about 6 times.
Go in expecting some great laughable moments, but do not think this is as funny as Borat was.
Maybe I went in expecting a better movie, but this fell in between Raiders and Temple of Doom. Almost as good as Raiders but not average like Temple of Doom. It do not compare to Last Crusade by far. The story was fluent and entertaining, the first 90 minutes flew by like nothing, but yet some mistakes in the facts around the main story take away its spark. Pancho Villa, who died in 1923 taught Indy Quechua? When did Pancho, Mexican revolution hero, live in Peru? Wasn't Indy too young to have met him? Apart from that, it had enough Indy moments to make it above average, but again, I'm still not as Wowed as with Last Crusade.
A surprise was how well Cate Blanchett filled the role of a russian nutcase scientist. I would had not guessed she was not Ukranian, if i did not know she was british.
