Won't argue with the Kate Capshaw problem. I'm not a fan of her character. She may be a great actress (only seen her in one other movie called Space Camp, and I was a child at the time and can't recall her acting ability), but her character Willie sure was not that charming. Marion had a great deal of spunk and fun to her character, while Elsa had some nice complexity. Yes, TOD is definitely the least even of the original three, but there are elements I really enjoy about it as well: the climax to me is most exciting, the villain most frightening, the cart chase very fun, the opening in China interesting (aside from "Anything Goes"), the focus on an Eastern religion noteworthy. I miss seeing Indy's "mild mannered" persona, but on the other hand, as a prequel, it does show maturing as a character, from being a "fortune and glory" seeker to caring more about the people he saves. And I have to say, Short Round is a great character IMO. I loved the chemistry between him and Indy. It has many moments of weakness, but I don't think it is without strengths.
