* Indy: Ford delivers and it's great to have him back.
* The Warehouse: I was cackling at the Ark's cameo. Glad to see they brought the original prop out of the Lucasfilm archives.
* Mutt: No problems with laBeaouf.
* Marion: Eh, mixed. On one hand, it's great to have her back. On the other hand, the reunion could have been played a lot better.
* Spalko and the Communists: Really dissapointed on both fronts here. It wasn't a rehash of the Nazis as I was afraid it was going to be, but they came off much the same way the Thugees did, ie too cartoonish. Blanchett was also terrible as Spalko; I was expecting and lot more.
* The Score: While the Star Wars prequels started it, this film is a final confirmation for me that John Williams needs to throw in the towel. I'm sorry, but he hit his peak before the end of the 80's and almost everything he's done since has been flat. A lot of it felt out of place at points (ex. the Grail Knight theme after the ship takes off). Oh well, at least we cheered at the Raiders March.
* The Skull and the Aliens: Eh, kinda hokey and even four days later, I'm still not fully sold on it. It's just that after three films involving the paranormal, it's just...too weird for me.
So, in conclusion, not as weak as Temple, but Last Crusade still regins supreme for me.
3/5
