As a lifelong Indy fan I did my best to go into this movie with low expectations. I have to say I wasn't disappointed. All the best elements of its predecessors were there. The chases were exciting, the villains were delightfully evil, Marion Ravenwood was awesome - so good to have her back and see loose ends tied up. I even enjoyed the Mutt Williams arc and surprisingly enough came to really like his character. I think many things came full circle with this film. There was one plot element I didn't really like, but it was so closely tied to the era that I completely understand including it. All in all, a great film! I'm glad they made it.
My husband is a comic book fan, so I knew that I'd have to go see this film. Though I love action/adventure flicks the whole "comic book hero" aspect had me not looking forward to it. Wow! I was totally blown away! The performances by Downey, Paltrow and Bridges were terrific! The action scenes were riveting too, of course, but what surprised me most was how sympathetic I became to Tony Stark. I really came to like, believe in and cheer for his character. Definitely a Must See movie for the summer!
