5/10...and that's generous.
I finally saw it today. It wasnt quite what I had hoped for. Way too much CGI and a script that was awkward. It falls way short of even the Temple of Doom. Im amazed they got it wrong.

Scenes that were wrong:

1) The fridge flying miles through the air after the nuclear explosion. Corny and weak. Indy isnt even bruised.

2) The weird monkey swinging shit.

3) Fucking groundhog mutants everywhere.

4) LeBouf or whatever his name is...doing ballet between two vehicles. It looked fake, was fake and I just cannot buy that drivel.

5) Marian driving straight off the cliff onto a swinging tree. Too much and too much akin to the Transformers generation.

6) Then 3 huge waterfall drops in a jeep/truck. People barely get through 1 Niagra and here we have 3 Niagra falls and in a Russian jeep?

7) No real connection between the characters. Mac has no depth at all. Just irritates me when he shouts "Jonesy"!!! A crap character. Marion?? Too contrived. The wedding scene at the end made me want to vomit.

The ants were this years nasties. CGI ones of course. No sense of menace. Completely fake and perfectly easy to shoot.

9) The rubber snake. WTF??

I could go on...It was watchable and I was seldom bored, but I did find myself shaking my head a lot. It just wasnt Indy as we know him, its been upgraded and cleaned up but lost all sense of depth. Unfortunate because it could have been a modern classic. I was let down by that.
