        I put this up as another comment:

        No spoilers, for me it felt like it was cutting bits and pieces from the original films and remixing them.

        “Oh, this is just like that bit from Raiders where Marian gets kidnapped… Oh, hey, that’s like when the tank ground up against the wall…”

        There’s entirely too much of “Well if you liked that, you’ll probably like this…” moments.

        Which isn’t always bad, but it doesn’t generate new memories so much as throw back to the others.

    Call me blasphemous, but I in fact quite liked the fourth Indy movie. It hit all the right notes for me, nostalgia-wise. I’m curious to see what this one is like.

        I’m definitely not a movie expert or huge Indiana Jones fan but I just saw the movie last night and had a blast. The ending is also pretty epic.

        I agree that it definitely could be improved in places and I understand that fans of the movies might want to compare it with the previous ones, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a highly entertaining and enjoyable adventure film.
