I just finished watching this, it was quite a good movie, but by no means the best in the series.

[Mike the Critic]
The plot was like the last few (unrealistic, but fun).
The 'Bad Guys' all came across as very stereotypical (to a western person), and at points I noticed some dodgy accents (One of the main, evil characters went from there accent to somewhat upper-class English).

Some of the story line seemed to jump about, for example "oh noes, were about to die" to "Oh, I'm fine now..." with weird reasons about how they lived.

At many points in the movie I found myself noticing how similar it was to The Mummy and National Treasure.

Though the above is me just pointing out what is missing from most moves; I give this about a 8/10, I would recommend you watch it (It's friggin Indiana Jones :P) but you life will still go on if you don't.

Oh that reminds me, I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian yesterday and I still need to post about it.

Thinking back on the Indiana Jones movie it was good, but just not as good as I hoped. Stevie will most likely be able to explain what I mean in better detail lol.

Saw Indiana Jones last night, I like it. Thought it had the same feel as the previous ones, lots of adventure, distinct villains, plenty of humour and of course a larger than life conclusion!

Hard to say if how it rates against the previous films, it's very hard to tell since the previous films were so long ago and have years of viewing with the 'rose tinted glasses'!

yeah, that was a little far fetched!! I was fearing for the worst when that happened, but thankfully nothing else made me cringe like that again

At that point I was kinda "Do they just want to make another Indiana person?".

This film was loads of fun. Especially drunk :) Totally ridiculous and corny.

Perfect Indy flick :)
