Truly Spectacular

It's not often that I'm speechless after a movie, but Avatar did it. I've never seen a movie like this - and really, I don't think there IS a movie like this. The CGI is excellently rendered, the Pandora environment is lush and virtually touchable with the added benefit of Real 3D. It's got a great story, great acting and mind blowing effects.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Can I give this more than five stars??

Once again, Christopher Nolan took a well-loved and fanboy adored story and turned it into a three-dimensional thriller. Christian Bale reprised his Batman Begins role as the Dark Knight and proved what a great actor he is. He once again brought the character to life on the screen - and played him with even more intensity than in the original movie.
Of course, Heath Ledger as the Joker is much talked-about (even Oscar buzzed!) and I'd have to agree with everything. His performance upped the ante for every future film villain. It's too bad he isn't around to receive the acclaim he deserves for his Joker.
I was also very happy to see Gary Oldman get a much meatier role than in Batman Begins. He's such a great actor and he really brought real humanity to the role of Commissioner Gordon.
The other actors did similarly excellent work in this film but it'll take way too long to go through them individually.
All in all, I LOVED this movie. Was well worth waiting for!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good, Not Great

If you can seriously suspend your sense of reality, you'll LOVE this movie. For me, however, the overall plot was just "this" far over the line of believability.
Pros: The acting was great (how much do I love Shia LeBeouf?) and the action was well-spaced and mostly well-done.
The script was well-written - I loved all the little references to historical current events as well as homages to the previous movies.
Cons: Parts of the CG effects didn't quite do it for me, but overall, I really did like this movie (which is why I give it four stars). If the plot had been more believable and some of the twists not quite so expected, I could easily have given this five stars.
Bottom line, it's definitely worth watching and makes a nice addition to the Indiana Jones series, but, for me, it wasn't quite as good as the other three.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
