The movie was ridiculous to say the least, but that is part of the Indy package. I mean, hearts ripped out of chests and fiery pits are among the many strange and unrealistic Indian Jones trademarks.
They made a few too many "I'm getting too old for this" jokes, but Shia Lebeouf as Mutt Williams brought the youth back into the film. Also, Karen Allen brought back the classic fast-paced romance as Indy's old flame Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Although the special effects were much improved, the film lacked the flair that the original trilogy had, but what they lacked in entertainment they made up for with pure entertainment.
My final word: it was fun to reminisce and drool over newcomer Shia Lebeouf, but overall, it didn't compare to the classics that I remember from my childhood.
