Indiana Jones 4: 7/10
I really had a feeling this was just not going to be as good as 1 and 3 (I thought 2 really bit), and I really prepared myself for it to blow. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't. It was weaker than all three of the first movies, but considering that Harrison Ford has qualified for Social Security for closing in on a decade, and George Lucas apparently vacated this world to go live in the Magical Kingdom of Suck nigh on twenty years ago, I was not at all displeased.
It was amusing, diverting, and a relatively fun way to waste two hours. I feel like it was money well spent.
And for the record, I actually like Shia LeBeouf. Maybe I just have a soft spot for spunky young Jewish actors...having once been one myself....
