Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

The more I think about this film, the less I like it. I hate to say it but the magic has faded a bit. Sure you love it when the Indy music starts and he puches someone...I mean the action is really good for the most part. But you expect great action AND great chemistry and writing. It is sorely lacking in the latter two. The plot, kind of lame. I mean by far the weakest of the 4 films (yes this is on par with Temple of Doom...). The writing is Lucas at his worst (think the latest Star Wars films...yikes). No chemistry between any of the actors. Shai Labouf (spelling?) - I thought he would be a negative and it turned out he was the highlight. Would I watch a film starring his as this character...no, but I did like him as a side kick. Waste of character Marion...I mean she called Indy "Sweetheart 17 times" and said little else. Indy...well a little old for the stunts but what really was poor were his lines. Go to the cheap show, expect nothing - you'll be happy. Go in expecting something on par with the rest of the series and be greatly let down. My wife hated the film. Personally it was just ok.
Pros: Shai Labouf
Cons: Dialog, Plot, Waste of good actors abilities
