Another Great Adventure!

Let's be honest, there's no way this film could have lived up to the hype surrounding it, especially since the hype was created by both marketing and over a decade of anticipation. For those who expected more than a rousing adventure with some cherished characters, I ask 'what movie series have you been watching anyway?' KOTCS is exactly what Spielberg and Co. set out to create, another Indiana Jones film set in the tradition of the old-time serials that inspired them. The Indy series one-ups them, though, for having superior character development and this movie certainly gives our favorite whip-wielding archaeologist the most depth of any of the films.
Yeah, some of the action set-pieces are hokey (but c'mon, what about Temple of Doom?) and the expository dialog got to be a bit much (then again, Last Crusade had its fair share as well) but the film's strengths more than outweighed its weaknesses.
It was exciting. It was funny (funniest of the series so far). And it was great to be reunited with old friends once again.
I loved it, and I'll see it again!
