    The movie plot was about 10 years too late. Expected more from Spielberg and Lucas to be honest. Plus. id just seen National Treasure 2 so it was like watching The Illusionist and The Prestige back to back.

    Not really much to remember about the film like Ark and Crusade had. I had a chuckle or too but it wasnt exactly new and fresh was it?

    I wonder if Connery was in that movie if he would have told the writers he used the Openheimer quote from Gita "Now i am become death the destroyer of worlds" in Red October?

    I enjoyed seeing Indy in action again and I thought having Marion in it was pretty cool. The nostalgia part was just about right. I thought the ending sucked though. The chase through the jungle was pretty good though. They should have rooted it in a familiar legend or religious story instead of the aliens thing.

    Aliens = suck. Does NOT fit the overall storyline.

    Indy as an OSS agent = suck. Again, does NOT fit the overall storyline.

    Psychic warfare = suck. Once again, does NOT fit the overall storyline.

    Commies = appropriate for the setting. We're not in the 30's/40's anymore, Toto.

    Bringing Marion back = good. That was needed to wrap up the series.

    Alone, it was not a good flick and even as a capstone to the series, it could've been MUCH better. Considering they brought back the old "gang" of Spielberg, Lucas, and Marshall, I expected a lot more. But in the end, I'm glad the movie was made. The Indy chronicles are finished.

    I wish Lucas had not been involved in this one. Everything he touches goes all Jar Jar...
