Wait for the video if...

If you have a decent home theater system, wait for the video.
What I love about the old Indiana Jones movies is the fact that the action sequences (while highly improbable) actually could occur in real life. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull went a little overboard... surviving a nuclear blast... come on! At some point in the movie the action sequences became a kind of joke... illiciting a giggle here and there. Also, Kingdom... seemed to contain a lot more supernatural elements than the old Indy movies. Obviously there is always a hint of the supernatural, but it's done in such a way that it seems almost 'plausible'... once again, this one goes overboard.
All in all the movie was entertaining, but did not live up to the legacy of the originals. The acting was decent and special effects were good. There were definitely some memorable moments (I won't spoil it), and Kingdom definitely contained some classic Indy moments.... chases through the jungle, booby traps and falling structures. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have spent $21.50 on tickets, I'd wait for the video.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
