Too much CG.
Shia swinging with the monkeys = stupid.
Sword fight in the jungle car chase was rediculous.

Great opening sequence though.

Indy: "It told me to" WTF!!!!?

Modern audiences want inward journeys, and while Harrison Ford was quite right in saying it's a film strictly for audiences, not for the critics, I fear they've underestimated the audience.

It was an exciting, impossible romp, the cinematography was excellent. The film's music was pretty ordinary and some of the visual effects looked like a storm.

All in all, I think Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull suffered from the same stale taste as the Star Wars prequels: too many eggs, not enough heart and with nothing for the imagination.

Sure, it was over the top in parts, but what else would you expect from Indy? Just let your logic go, sit back and enjoy the ride!

It's a fairly o.k. movie.
Great first half and 50's settings.
I wish Indiana was 35 yrs young forever.
Too much time in the jungle.
I really hated the 'family' adventure tone of the movie.
George Lucas should try other fx houses other than his own and make something original.
It's about time Steven Spielberg made 'Interstellar'

Beginning was slow and cludgy until the warehouse scene. Middle of the movie as good as any other Indy film. End was just so out of this world (ahem) and confusing that it ruined the movie for me.

Not sure how much George Lucas had to do with this, but he's done the same thing to the Indy franchise with this film that he did to Star Wars with Episodes 1,2 & 3 - kiddified them.

Indy 1,2 & 3, no matter how stretched they got, were at least still bound in great storytelling rooted in a form of reality.

Sorry - 2 out of 5 stars for me.

Regards,
Shane.

Yeah, some parts were over the top... But it's Indy, and if you look back to the previous three films, they had their over-the-top moments too...
Mutt swinging through the trees was a bit much, but the alien bit was cool, and for those who said it wasn't believable (like my roommate), was the ending to any of the Indy films really that believable?

John Hurt and Ray Winstone were completely wasted in their roles

Besides the special effects, it was so-so. The story was slow and uninteresting. Yeah I understand the time era issue and of course I have been waiting for a while for this film to come out but I didn't want "THIS" film to have been made. Unlike the previous three, this one was a little hard to believe the over-the-top moments. It was great to see Karen Allen though! I score it a 5 out of 10, 10 being awesome. But what do I know, I only saw it twice...

didnt have the punch the original 3 had. They went 2 decades looking for a script and this was the only thing they could come up with? like c'mon. Harrison Ford and Shia Lebauf did a good job but thats about it. Sorry Spielberg but this wasnt your best
