Oh I agree, but after a 19 year absense, a 65 year old Harrison Ford, George "I lost my mind somewhere between 1977 and 1997" Lucas, and a script that was by all accounts rushed, realistically why should we expect greatness? Even were it made under ideal circumstances I wouldn't expect greatness because, much like the OT, the two Indy sequels were sort of lucky accidents, that normally doesn' t happen, and it happened twice (and even then, many people have issues with either Crusade or Temple of Doom). The original three were lightning in a bottle, that magic can never be re-captured, I would say even that Last Crusade was a very lucky sort of fluke. Crystal Skull is flawed but fun, the worst of the four but entertaining nonetheless, and I think thats sort of what we were realistically looking at from the outset. Not every film Spielberg makes is perfect, not every film Ford makes is perfect, and half of Lucas' filmography is crap; with the first three everyone beat the odds but this time they stumble--but only a bit. I'd say thats not as bad as wee've deluded ourselves to believe.
