...takes itself too seriously and mostly doesn't use the potential for humor in the Indy thing...

I find this particularly interesting, since one of my big problems with the others (especially Last Crusade and Crystal Skull) was that they didn't take themselves seriously enough, and the humor was excessive and out-of-place for an Indy film.  Temple has its own share of ridiculous, excessive humor (the "Brain Feast," as my friends and I like to call it, as one example, and the snake/elephant trunk joke for another), but it's nowhere near as bad as Last Crusade (anything that comes out of Marcus Brody's mouth ... I still so hate what they did to that character), with the exception of the Sean Connery/Harrison Ford scenes, which are all fantastic.
