This is was perhaps the worse destruction done to an iconic character since Batman & Robin. Even the dissapointing Superman Returns did more justice to our nostalgia than this monstrosity. The new Indiana Jones movies departs significantly from the movies we all fell in love with. And It was not just the ridiculous alien-centered plot (which made the movie seem more like a totally unfunny spoof named "Indiana Jones in Space"), the impossible surviving of a near ground-zero nuclear blast, the sophomoric and lackluster characters, the completely unnovel regurgation of plot-devises from past films and genres. It is was the fact that there was no simply no respect for the character. There were times which a little depth was displayed in the character, But these were overshadowed by his conspicuously reheresed and out-of-character dialogue. On the plus side, it featured a visually stunning series of action scenes. But they were thrown together with a horrendous plot, saddening script, and B-movie dialogue.
