The story line was good. The effects were great! However, the film lacked the excitement of the earlier Indiana Jones movies. The constant references to Indy's age, and the quips of " ok old man. " and the like, where in my opinion, an unnecessary distraction from what could have been a Great Movie. Clearly, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the set up movie for Jones to pass the tourch to his young son as the new Indiana Jones. Way too much emphasis was placed on this fact and was a major distraction in an otherwise very good movie
