Okay, so I finally got to see the end of this movie, and I agree with what most people complained about it. Well, actually, the wedding didn't bother me. When Mutt was about to put on Indy's hat, I think I held my breath because I felt that could have pissed off a lot of the "hardcore" fans, especially those that have heard rumors of the torch passing to him for vague future films. So I thought they handled that well to have Indy himself quell that at the last second. But the concept of Indy and Marion getting married didn't bother me at all. What did bother me, like others have mentioned, was the ease in Indy getting his job back. Personally, I would have liked for it to have ended with Indy winding in Europe, where he was initially going to go when he got fired.

But I still don't see all the hate for this movie. I enjoyed it immensely and actually agree point-by-point with LordJedi's assessment of it. I also didn't know that the '80s sequels were so looked down upon here. I could understand Temple of Doom (even though I like it) for straying so far from the elements that made Raiders special, but what's the deal with Last Crusade? I sometimes consider it to be my favorite of the three.
