Indiana Jones Returns

Well actually saw this Sunday night but owing to a lot of things haven't gotten around to commenting on it til now. Will attempt to avoid any spoilers but be warned ya know?

Anywho, I'd say overall maybe a 3.5 - 3.75 outta 5. Very good action, def. good humor too. Well worth your time to go see it. Which leads to why such a low score? Well it's not unique or original. There's some of the old Indy in it and granted that's expected but it also borrows a lot from newer fare: The Mummy series and Stargate. I was waiting for Richard Dean Anderson to run by with Thor in tow. The other issue was the pacing. Somehow it just wasn't right. Almost seemed too fast if that's possible.

I think in the long run it will stand alright amongst the Indiana Jones but probably never be the best. I suppose it's hard to top a legend!
