Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[Will]

I agree with a lot of Belmit's insights.

For me it wasn't as disappointing as I was expecting, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping. I'm still comparing it to the Last Crusade which had a lot of twists and turns, subtle moments and tricks, some cunning, some puzzle solving, and some almost believeable history/religious/magic stuff which is ALMOST feasible. I found this to be more sci-fi and toned down if that's possible.

I did love the re-uniting of Indy and miss "I can outdrink everyone in the country". A lot of it was too "perfect" or too convenient - not enough exploration and proper Indy style things. Like the sewers/catacombs/church in Venice, the castle in Germany, the gauntlet in Alexandretta, the tanks - I mean the Last Crusade is in just a different league.

Dare I say it the Temple of Doom was in my eyes better than this one too

However, that aside it was very enjoyable and brilliant to be brought back to my childhood
