This Movie Is Absolutely GREAT!!!

This is absolutely a great film! Indy's a little older, a little slower, but just as heroic as ever; it's great to see him reunited with Marion Ravenwood (there's a perfect couple if ever there was one), and the character of Mutt Williams is not only a great addition to the mythos but has lots of potential for a series of his own! Nice tributes to Indy's dad and Marcus Brody, plus several neat tips of the fedora to both the original "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and to the "Young Indy" TV series make this latest escapade all the more enjoyable. I suppose I really should not have been all that surprised by the reactions of some movie critics who have given less than stellar reviews for the movie; I'm convinced that those critics who feel otherwise wouldn't know a good movie if it reared up and bit them in the tuckuss! From where I sit, the problem some critics seem to have with the latest Indy adventure is the same problem some of them had with the "Star Wars" films, as well as more recent films like last year’s "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" or the current release "Speed Racer." Movies such as these invite the filmgoer to kick back, forget about the problems of the real world for a couple of hours and just have themselves a good time. And what self-important vainglorious critic of the arts is going to sit still for that? As for Indy's latest adventure - it's definitely worth the wait and the price of admission!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
