Okay, I seriously believe the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons was a prediction on how people would end up. It seems a lot of people just cannot sit back and enjoy a movie anymore and instead, nit-pick and look for things to criticize.
I'm a long time Indiana Jones fan, back from when I was a kid and I felt this movie was definitely in the spirit of it. The effects were great, the adventure and action was fun to watch and the dialogue was funny. And yes, I feel it lives up to the other titles in the series and would at least put it over Temple of Doom. Okay, you have to suspend your disbelief in watching this movie...but didn't you have to with every Indy film? Who can honestly say the part at the end with the Ark in the first movie was believable? Anyone? Should I even bother getting into the other two movies on the issue of believability?
And that is my recommendation when watching this film. Don't try to take it so seriously and if you get your expectations too high, they'll never get lived up to, as many reviews here have proved to me. All I can say is that I'm an Indiana Jones fan and I enjoyed this movie. I recommend just sitting back and letting yourself enjoy the ride.
