I honestly don't know what some of you were expecting. Plausible action? Yeah, right. Not in an Indiana Jones movie. That's like expecting James Bond to be a realistic take on the spy game. Yeah, it's implausible. Hello? Raiders was hardly the height of plausibilty now was it? These movies are a homage to the old Saturday matinee serials and they do a terrific job. This one was no different. I liked the references to the old movies, I liked that Karen Black made an appearance, surprisingly I didn't even mind the Mutt character, and I enjoyed the chases and death defying acts. But they're implausible you say? Nah, really. So what? It's comic book, boy's own stuff, and it works incredibly well on that level. Have any of you even seen the previous movies in the series?

I was entertained, my son was entertained, it's not going to change my life but, again, I was entertained and that's what it should be all about. Those of you going in expecting deep meaningful dialogue and serious drama obviously wandered into the wrong movie.
