She was given absolutely nothing to do. I was so disappointed.

I wonder what I'll do with my name after January 20, 2009 when Democracy returns.
I thought the whole movie was a waste of talented people. Especially Karen Allen. This was a comeback of sorts for her, so they really should have given her a meatier part. In the original film, Marion was integral to the plot. In this, she was treated as a sidekick.
shareShe was wasted in this movie. Compared with Raiders of the Lost Ark, she has nothing to do which is a real shame. Marion Ravenwood is my favorite movie heroine of all time.
shareShame,Shame,Shame!!!
She Don´t deserved it!
I totally agree.
But worse than that, she was treated like a product placement. "Look everyone, this is an Indiana Jones movie because here, it's Marion Ravenwood!"
What a freakin' disappointment.
They did a similar thing to Sallah and Brody in Last Crusade. They took three-dimensional characters from Raiders and turned them into dopey, grinning comic relief.
Shame on you Spielberg, Lucas and Koepp.
This film disappointed me in a similar way to Jurassic Park - The Lost World. It just doesn't deserve its sequel status.
I liked her first few scenes (when we first see her, when she and Indy are in quicksand/in the back of the truck, and the whole chase sequence when she drives over the cliff and stuff) but after that, her role in the film is practically nothing. Most of her time onscreen is spent practically "babysitting" Ox. She deserved better.

Well Karen doesn't really act much anyway these days, seeing her do Indy IV gave me a kick seeing her on-screen and actually acting. BE HAPPY! Remember after the whole waterfall sequence, she did stand around and not do much but that was the same with Shia LaBeouf, he was practically ignored from the storyline after the second half also. The second half was probably just focused more on Indy, Doctor Spalko, Mac and Ox.
