"It's almost too easy to bash George Lucas, but his fingerprints are all over this film. Right from the opening moments of the movie - hot rodding teenagers racing an army convoy, calling to mind American Graffiti - his presence looms large. He's there in the cute CGI prairie dogs that appear three different times. He's there when Shia LaBeouf's Mutt learns to swing like Tarzan by watching cute little monkeys. And he's really there in occasionally abysmal CGI action sequences that miss the entire point of what made the Indiana Jones movies work in the first place. This is the most George Lucas of all the Indiana Jones films, and that's not a great thing."
