....welcome back!
Really enjoyed this film - for me it is No2 behind Raiders.
Story better than Temple, and minus a posse of kids - got to be a good thing.
HF doesn't mug to the camera & play up the role as he did in Crusade.
Story is, of course, completely unbelievable - but then aren't they all!
Well worth the admission price.

Enjoyed the film even if the plot was over the top.Except the motorcycle scenes using a new Harley with springer front end, EVO motor and disc brakes. This was supposed to be 1957! Sheese, use a pan or knuckle head for G*d's sake. Or better yet for the period and acrobatics involved, a non-unit Triumph.
IMO, second best of the Indy series.
This movie has spawned a rival for the phrase "jump the shark": "nuke the fridge".
It's actually not too bad a movie though. I'd rank it 3rd, just above "Temple of Doom". At least there was no opening musical number. Worth a look for fans of the originals only.
I enjoyed it, but, IMO, Ironman is still the best of the big summer releases, at least to date (looking forward to the Dark Knight).
Bringing back Karen Allen was a nice touch, and the ending was a satisfyingly neat wrap to the series.
It wasn't bad but I felt 1 and 3 were the best and number four was kind of a draw with number 2.
Having a big ball almost kill you is still somewhat credible - locking yourself in a fridge and surviving a nuclear blast is silly. And what was with the gophers. Despite the brutal beginning it got better - good action sequences a bit of humour sprinkled in - dopey plot but Alien skulls is just as believable as any religious item having powers. John Hurt was kind of wasted and Cate Blanchet was one note.
For me it felt tired - as tired as Indy looked.
Raiders is one of my top 20 movies of all time and set the standard for this genre - foreign or domestic. The Last Crusade was the perfect ending riding off into the sunset and a solid entertaining re-watchable sequel. Number 4 I can't say I'd ever want to see again. However I will see it again because I HATED number 2 the first time and it has grown on me a lot over the years.
Perhaps I was TOO hyped to see number 4 and it couldn't possibly live up to my expectations and hope. So I'll pick it up used on DVD and give it another go in about 6 months to a year.

I was generally disappointed, and I'm a big fan of the first series.
How about (WAY) TOO MUCH CGI, TOO CONVOLUTED plot, and TOO LONG?
I felt like it was a mishmash of everything that has come in the interim: The Mummy, National Treasure, etc. ad nauseum. Said another way, lots of recycling here, but not much originality.
I felt exhausted and bored rather than genuinely entertained.
For the role played by Blanchett (who was wasted), I could see a younger Angelika Houston being suitable.
Of course, YMMV.
...it was just as believable as the others.
The movie is a lot of fun - good action, interesting villian (she sounds a little like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle in the beginning) and a good sidekick - Shia Labeouf adds an interesting dimension as Kookie from the old 77 Sunset Strip series.

great to reunite some of the previous characters....and introduce some new ones...I enjoyed this movie much more than Prince Caspian which I saw last week....which was a FAR cry from the first Chronicles film! As far as the new Indy....I liked it better than #2 ....but disagree with your assessment of #3 which I DO like as well as this film....of course NOTHING has come close to the original!
