Great flick...but keep your pants on

I thought this movie was great, but a few shades off from the oringial trilogy. Yes, I know Indy has aged and such, so I didn't expect him to be like he was in The Last Crusade. The story was told like a classic Indy film, the chase for a great power or prize. This is what makes Indy, welp, Indy. The only problem I saw were the irrelevant cast of characters, Mutt, Mack, and even possibly Marion could have been ditched in the making of this film, and in my opinion, could have been a greater film just with Indy himself...ok maybe LeBeouf keeping a side-kick role. Last but not least, the villians in this film...well just weren't a standout whats so ever. Blanchett had a role where she could have been more of a standout villian( like....Mola Rohm) but was riding the line between villian and friend of Indiana Jones (using him instead of trying to kill him!) throughout the film. What I did liek though is how the action sequences were kept to its original form, and kept up-to-date in releavance to Indy's age. I also loved the many references to the previous films. Though the ending is very open-ended, the farewell in The Last Crusade was more powerful than this one. Damm you Sean Connery!
Overall, the vibe of this film is Indy material (stunt sand one-liners), and very exciting and packs a heavy punch like its predacessors.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
