The Franchise is Officially Dead

First, I'll admit right off the bat that I'm a fanboy: I grew up with Indy, read the novels, the comics, played the PC games, and watched Young Indiana Jones on ABC religiously.
When I first heard they were making another Indy movie, sure I was excited, but also did not keep my expectations too high because I knew there was no way it would live up to Raiders, but expected it to be on par with Doom or Crusade.
What I got was sub-par...WAY sub-par.
I don't want to spoil the "plot" (and I use that term loosely), but it seems Lucas & Co. were backed in a corner and under pressure to make another Indy movie before they (specifically Ford) got too old.
And the results show: plot inconsistent with the Indy universe, poor special effects (did ILM interns do the effects?), poor musical score (John Williams! What happened?!?), and half baked acting (I'm not going to name names, but a few actors/actresses seemed to have slept walked through filming).
Not only do Indy fans deserve better, but the movie going audience of this day & age deserve better too.
Shame on you Lucasfilm!!!
No, I do not recommend this movie.
