What, the ending sequence?

I have a strong suspicion that if it had been done with models a lot of the same people would be complaining that it could have been done better with CGI.

The thing is, I see people picking apart Crystal Skull, while seemingly forgetting that the defining trait of the franchise is over-the-top action sequences with gobs of special effects. The ending of Crystal Skull was no worse than Raiders; the only difference was the nature of the obscure artifact.

I have a strong suspicion that a lot of people were determined to hate Crystal Skull from the outset for the simple fact that it messed with their nostalgia. I personally thought it was well done and was very much in keeping with the overall feel of the other three.
