I have mixed feelings on the whole movie. Its got plenty of groan worthy moments, but for me most new action movies do too. Harrison Ford has definitely lost his spark. There's very little of his charisma present in this movie. The way he delivers his lines is pretty bland. He sounds bored whenever he talks. And the dialog in general isn't very fresh.

That said, it still has some fun, if over-the-top action. I'm glad they brought Marion back, even if she didn't have much to do or say. I think Shia did a fine job, unexpectedly. He and John Hurt were the only characters that brought much charisma to the screen.

In terms of an action movie, I didn't feel cheated out of my $10. But as an Indiana Jones movie, I'd definitely make it fourth on the list. And I wasn't a huge fan of Doom or Crusade.
