Indy is actually getting pretty good reviews, from what I have seen.
I liked the movie, didn't love it. I feel like it was probably the least of the four Indiana Jones movies; that being said, the movie was great fun, and actually worked pretty great - lots of action and lots of laughs - until...
!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
... until Shia LeBouf (or whatever his name is) starts swinging from the vines like Tarzan. I can put aside my disbelief in an Indiana Jones movie, but this was a little too much. Some people didn't like the buried-alien-spaceship ending, but really - it was no more outlandish than most of the stuff that went on in the other 3 movies. Besides, if you consider the fact that the original 3 movies were meant to be parodies/homages to 1930s pulp novels/comics, the fact that the new one, taking place in the 1950s, has flying saucers mixed in with the Red Scare and nuclear paranoia... it's pretty perfect. It would almost be blasphemy if this movie, taking place in the late 50s, DIDN'T have something about flying saucers.
3/5 stars, if you ask me.
