Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

First off - why the heck was this movie rated PG-13?
Alright - I loved the first three Indy movies. This new Indy movie was definitely the WEAKEST of them all. It was not a terrible movie, however, compared to the first three I would rate this as a big disappointment. The story was very confusing. The acting was subpar. No character chemistry or development. Marion was portrayed as a happy-go-lucky idiot. Indy was portrayed as a tired old man. His side-switching sidekick was just dumb. Too much CGI. Too many unbelievable stunts - bordering on cartoonish. I.E. - Mutt "saving" Indy from quicksand using a freaking snake. Very dumb! and the infamous Mutt swinging from vines scene. And the overall alien plot just did not seem to fit with the Indy adventures. If Speilberg would have just made an inference that the skull had extraterrestrial origins I think audiences would have accepted it more.

Like I said - not a bad movie. However, one cannot help but compare this movie to the FAR superior originals.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
