Those who just want an action film of course wouldn't be interested - but their loss...

Wait, what? It's an old-school adventure movie. Yeah, you'd need to have the old man think more and punch people less, but you can't lose the action entirely, because that's what these movies are about.

That kind of reasoning and lack of understanding of the source material got us the bloated mess that is the "plot" of the prequel trilogy, for crying out loud.

using brains and a little good luck in his escapades could make for a decent Indy flick again.

Right. "Look ma, no hands!" I just can't see Indy as MacGyver at all.

And once again, these movies did get a pretty good send off. In 1989.
