shareYes. It's even worse than Crystal Skull.

Yeah, this is the weakest one.
shareBetter than Crystal Skull, but not that much.
The de-aged first 25 mins were nice, although they still have to improve this technology a lot to make it more convincing.
Total flop. Box office is a disaster. How Kathleen Kennedy still has a job is beyond me.
shareNo, I thought it was a blast. It fits right in with the original trilogy. It's a little tamer and 20 minutes too long, but I had a lot of fun and thought the plot was really interesting. He's 80 and he plays it that way and that's why it works. The Helena Shaw character was like this fortune and glory thief / tomb raider with a tinge of Han Solo and she was fun too. I'd actually rank this as my third favorite after Raiders and Temple. It feels more like those with the quest of Crusade all mixed together.
shareYou're more enthusiastic than I am but I agree that it overall is pretty good. I don't think it touches the original trilogy but it's certainly much better than Crystal Skull and I enjoyed it for the most part.
I do wish the plot was a little stronger--there needed to be a little more story to tie together the action scenes--but I think that Mangold was trying REALLY hard to make a film that feels like classic Indy and, ironically, he succeeds better than Spielberg did when Spielberg made Crystal Skull.
Perhaps it's because I went in with very low expectations but I walked out being pleasantly surprised by it.
Absolutely not. It is orders of magnitude better than Crystal Skull and for that I was appreciative. I had a good time with it overall and was pleasantly surprised by it after so much pre-release negativity from critics and commentators.
shareI liked it
