Not a Worthy Addition

So, I avoided the reviews but heard the first couple were bad but after that, everyone seemed to think it was fun. Well, I didn't like it so much and I'd like to think it isn't because of the high standard of the previous movies. Visually, it is not consistent with the other movies. The look is more reminicent of Spielberg's recent work like War of the Worlds than the vibrant Indy movies. It is very predictable; you know that the end will be good for Indy and bad for the bad guys, but does it have to play out just like Last Crusade? It seems like every clue, Indy is able to decipher easily. It doesn't have that globe trotting feel with the spectacular landscapes and there is too much CGI. Frankly, any CGI would have been too much, but still. And I don't know how to put this any other way, but in Harrison Ford's dialog and acting, it almost feels like a cameo that lasts the whole movie. Like he is only there to remind us who he was and banter a bit, but it lasts the whole movie. Part of what adds to that feeling is the focus on his hat. This isn't National Treasure bad, but if a friend asks if they should see it, I'd sa, "Meh, it's not bad, but don't pay full price."
No, I do not recommend this movie.
