I viewed this film yesterday and enjoyed it very much, as I have enjoyed all of the Indiana Jones films.
A film such as this should be judged by what it is, not by what we wish it to be. Indiana Jones would be a top notch Republic serial if this were the 1940s, but it is 2008 and this sort of story is presented today as an upper echelon feature film. I believe if we expect too much realism from the seemingly indestructible Indiana Jones, we will be disappointed and robbed of the enjoyment the people who made this film worked so hard to give us. Pretend you are ten years old again (if you are older than that!) and simply sit back and enjoy. This film is wonderful entertainment. It really dos not matter if it is "good" or not.
Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones. If you cannot think of any other reason to see this film, do it for this one.
