Have to admit, I went in with REALLY low expectations, based on all the negative fanboy reviews over the last few months, but I was pleasantly surprised. I loved it. Right up there with 1 and 3, actually. Ford has obviously aged, and to see him in the Indy garb was a geeky delight. Excellent seeing Marion Ravenwood again, and Cate Blanchett is a friggin chameleon; she can play damn near anything or anybody. She was a lot of fun as the villain. I even was impressed with Shia LeBeauf. I'm not a fan of his, but his character grew on me. The heavy use of CGI not normally seen in the Indy flicks was a bit distracting, but overall, it worked. I loved this movie. 4 stars outta 5 Watched this last night.
