Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Hands down, this is a great film. Lucas & Spielberg not only did a great job respecting the characters, but they also respected the audience. Taken into account is Indy's inevitable aging, which is handled as well as it could have been without getting depressing. The progression of time brings Indy face-to-face with a new enemy that echos modern times without getting too didactic. The action sequences are on par with previous films, and some scenes go far beyond what technology allowed in the 80's. The CGI elements are used tastefully (with the exception of a vine-swinging scene, but even that scene stills makes sense in a minor way). Nobody complained about the matte paintings and animated effects of the older films, so there shouldn't be a reason to complain about new technology being used today. My only complaint is that the film was too short and seemed too rushed. The pacing was decent, but seemed to cater more to an audience with a shorter attention span... it would been nice to see some of these new characters fleshed out a little more. Despite that flaw, I think this film is required viewing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
