Like watching an old rock band trying to reassemble itself and hit the road one more time to re-live their glory days, so too does Harrison Ford & Karen Allen. Only it doesn't quite work, I'm afraid. Ford has a weak voice and has aged quite a bit from his glory days as Indiana Jones. But it was nice to see Karen Allen once again. I just thought the movie got a bit stupid when her son turns out to be Indiana Jones' - - and all the alien crap with the flying saucer - - just corny and totally unbelievable. There were parts in the movie that were pretty good - the old caves and cobwebs - but the dimwhited Russians and the unbelievable jungle ants that ate people whole - - I dunno, it got STUPID during those parts ! Bob Dylan once wrote, "You can never go back"....I truly think Harrison Ford should have let his premier Indiana Jones movies of the 70's be his shinning star and not return 30-years later and make this movie.

I grew up loving Indy. Harrison Ford did a great job in this but the plot was just stupid! The alien thing was a little much.

Story lacks any character development and isnt good enough for television. If "Indiana Jones" wasnt in it, the critics wouldnt fear the wrath of spielberg and give it the crap reviews it deserves.

completely far fetched, pretty bad acting (on shias part), and overall, lackluster.

My wife and I both hated this movie. It was slam full of one ridiculous situation after another. Constant gratuitous, unrealistic, and completely unbelievable action and lame comedy. The plot, character development, and acting were awful too. I actually started getting angry during the movie thinking about how far Lucas and Spielberg have fallen. I went into it expecting something great from the two of them and was intensely disappointed. Lucas must be going insane if he thinks this kind of drivel is what his audience wants to see. Of course, the movie's good performance at the box office may indicate to Lucas and Spielberg that they ARE doing everything right. To me, this movie was just non-stop stupidity and ridiculous. Not fun.

First hour of this movie is great 5 star then BOOM! It just takes a turn to foolishness and leaves you sad that Spielberg ruined what should have been a great flick.

Good because it is Indy. Harrison is good, though he is pretty damned old. The original movies followed the same religious/occult theme while this one is a little too Sci-Fi. It doesn't really flow with the rest of the series.
