Didn't quite have the feel like the last three

from Kissimmee, Florida
Just went to see it and although it was great to see Indy again, I felt they spent too much time in the first hour building up the plot and too much explainations. We all know who Indiana Jones is, why take up so much time explaining?
I felt the pace was draging in spots as a result and lost the overall flow of the film. I went back and watched parts of the first three movies and you can see the differance. With Indy, it's like being on a rollercoster from start to finish, even the slower parts in the first three films moved along the story line. This one was a little too verbal with descriptions. We are a smart crowd and can figure things out visually. That being said, the second hour was great! It was just as it should be. Indy is about action, lots of action. If I want a verbal instruction, I can watch it on the History channel. I am a huge fan of Indiana Jones. If they had just made the film like the last hour, the film I felt , would have been much better. I felt the ending was a little too warm and fuzzy and you can tell they are setting things up for the son. A little less Lucas here and a little more Spielberg.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
