Overall, the film did its job, it entertained us. And we had a good time. The only criticism I have is that the "bad" guys weren't bad enough. The whole red scare thing/McCarthy-ism was real enough then but it wasn't made a real enough scare in the film. Cate Blanchett's character seemed to working on her own more than having big bosses she had to report to. The film had all the things one expects from Indiana Jones - great effects, Indy kicking butt and wild chases. The motorbike chase at my alma mater was particularly good!
