I've been waiting for this movie for a long time...Just like many, many other people. At least since I began to hear rumblings of a 4th installment to the series 12 years ago. I'd heard one after another story-line and/or title thrown around...Both lame and interesting. I was first very excited about hearing this and then started to loose faith that another one would ever be made...
So, when I entered the theater last night, I went into it with both an unbridaled sense of anticipation/excitement and a sobering feeling of 'to not expect too much' from it. I knew it would be difficult, if not impossible, to follow up the original trillogy...
I am happy to say that, even though there were some faults in the story line, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was a good, if not more than adequate, addition to the originals. I very much enjoyed the beginning scenes most of all. And the action and quirky humor was very fun and enjoyable to watch throughout the film. It was good to see Harrison Ford come do what he does best...Thrill and entertain us. The only gripes I have are that I didn't like the 'Alien' related story-line, at least not the way it was told. And I didn't like the 'Treasurer Room' set containing 'all the artifacts representing all the periods of human history'...I felt it was needless and for some reason 'took' from the story, but that is a small issue and only my opinion. Either way, I would recomend this 4th Indiana Jones film to anyone...It was well done...
