Indy Jumped the Shark!

Ladies and gentlemen, Indy has jumped the shark. Yes, I'm pretty sad to say it, but it's the truth. And I wanted to like it. I did. It is an entertaining movie, but it was all just a bit too much in the end... including the ending. How many times throughout the film am I going to be asked to suspend all logic, reason, believability and truth? It's a roller coaster of a flick, absolutely, and it hardly slows from beginning to end. It's a lot like the mine car ride from Temple of Doom, except every few minutes the cart is making the improbable, impossible, unbelievable, and miraculous leap across the fiery cavernous lava pit onto the remote track. Movie icons like Indiana Jones always get the benefit of the supernatural luck or good fortune, but this one just goes to the well a few too many times. The best moments in the movie for me are the character revelations told through the more subtle and simplistic bits. Part of me thinks Lucas had a little too much of Spielberg's ear during production. One scene in particular comes to mind(you'll know when you see it and cringe). The thing that I wonder the most about is how *this* was the script that was picked over the 1,000's of other Indy scripts they went through. I don't know. I don't get it. I'm a sad panda.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
