im a newcomer to the series, having just seen them a few weeks ago, and i LOVED this movie! i felt like it had everything the other movies had, the action, the fairly historically accurate legend, marion, the evil, greedy antagonist, and a still hot protagonist. it referenced the other movies just a little and poked fun at how old indy has gotten since his other adventures. not only did this newcomer love it, but my father, who grew up watching indiana jones as a little boy, absolutely loved it as well. it was everything he remembered as a child and more. not as good as raiders, but it's still really good. most sequels, i've found, really deviate from the original, are not nearly as good, and dont have nearly the amount of magic of the original, (coughdisney) but this movie really did extraordinarily exceed my expectations!
