I love Indiana Jones. Our house has the soundtracks, the VHS and DVD movies, and my husband has read some of the older scripts. While there are many small things that can make you say, "huh?" there are two big aspects of the film that distract you and keep you from getting too into the film. The first is just common sense. There are a few moments where Indiana does things that only a cartoon could survive. By the end of the movie you realize that Jones should have been literally cooked, pulverized, smashed, and shot numerous times. Of course the real issue wasn't the normal immortality of Indiana but the ridiculousness of the crystal skull. Little changes just to the skull would have greatly increased the enjoyability of the movie. First, it looked like it was filled with tinsel of tin foil. This might be appropriate for the stage but not for a movie theater. Second it was way too big. This made it impossible to make it the proper weight for it's size and you find yourself looking at the skull rather than focusing on the story line.
