After reading all of the mixed reviews I didn't know what to expect...I was very pleasantly surprised. It took a couple of minutes to adjust to an older Indy, but before long it was like no time had passed at all. People have complained about Blanchette's accent, the sci-fi nature of the film, the cheesy quips for laughter and the lack of chemistry between the cast. I saw none of that. Indy films have always been somewhat of a caricature of the time periods and of what an archaeologists life is like. And boxes melting peoples faces off or a cup that gives everlasting life are no less far-fetched than aliens. I loved seeing Indy interact with Mutt--and I believe that if they are preparing Shia for the next generation of Indy movies they have certainly set a good foundation. It's not The Last Crusade good...but it is good!
