The fetching Mrs. P and I went to check out the latest installment in the Indiana Jones saga. It was good, but came up short in our opinions. There were some good chase scenes, a bit of humor, and beuatiful sets, but it just didn't have the flavor of the earlier movies. I suspect some of it has to do with making sure that the movie is "family friendly" and doesn't do anything too over the edge.
I would make the comparison to the first Terminator movie, to the last one. The lead character doesn't shoot a gun, doesn't kill anyone, and still offers a helping hand to a villian that moments before had tried to kill him.
I understand why they do it that way, but it makes the movie just come up short. Wait for the DVD.
