Everything we've come to love about the Indiana Jones series is here (amazing stunt sequences, humor, pseudo-mysticism), with a few new twists (aliens, nuclear explosions). Harrison Ford's age only adds to his character's weatherbeaten charm. Shia LaBeouf's character Mutt is a predictable, Fonzie-type 50's tough guy, but he holds his own in the action scenes. And Karen Allen almost steals the movie, returning here as fiesty Marian Ravenwood, the best of Indy's sidekicks/romantic interests. While no film will ever top the first, this is a worthy addition to the series, and leaves one longing for another.
