I love this series and was looking forward to seeing this movie. Before taking my 4 daughters to see this movie (and I previewed it before allowing the 10 year olds to go), I showed them the first three in the Indiana Jones series (though we had to fast forward through some of the truly gory parts).
In this new film, the language was not always appropriate so we had to talk to our kids again about why that language is not used, but I was happy that the filmmakers did not abuse it too much. The film was not as gory or as scary as the prior films so I found it to be ok for my kids (who are between 10 and 12).
My wife and I felt that some of the action and plot was not only unbelievable but insulting to our intelligence. They were not always consistent in treating the extreme magnetism and the scene involving the big blast was way too much even for me. Still, my wife and I liked this movie better than Temple of Doom which was a disappointing two star event. Raiders is still the best, followed by Last Crusade.
However, my kids LOVED this movie. We had to explain some of the period references but they thought this was the best of the series. Their reaction surprised me since they can be very critical. They hope there will be another.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
