Just got back from the midnight showing...
What an absolute piece of garbage! The first 3 Indy Jones movies looked more realistic than this one. How is that possible? I felt like I was watching a Pixar movie. Plus, the plot was so far farched and incomplete I almost left.
James is that you?
The movie did suck, an embarrassment to the original three. Not Harrison Ford's fault but that damn George Lucas, everything he remakes goes to sh*t. And Aliens? This isn't Star Wars hoe you had your shot there now think of something original. Either way, its not like I could have made anything better so I say 6/10 because its captivating at times and just plain weird at others.

Seriously, wait for video, at best.
I just read one review so far, by a "Village Voice" guy who sometimes shows up on that "Ebert and Roeper" show subbing for Ebert. Guy had pretty much seen the merits of the first three, said this one was truly of no value at all. Pretty much backs up what you guys are saying. Well, it'll probably make $150 this holiday weekend anyway and then trail off.
Dude, this film rocked. The action scenes were stellar, undoubtedly on par with the older movies. The music was obviously amazing, and Harrison Ford successfully revisited one of the greatest movie characters in cinematic history. I also liked the plot, I thought it was a pleasant continuation of the older films. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg scored big time with this one. Go see it.
I am definitely going to go because I have never seen anything far farched before.
I'm actually going today...due to the incredibly mixed reviews, I have NO idea what to think, haha.
*far-fetched - it was really late at night. I was still traumatized from being taken advantage of by this movie.
