Whatever. Crystal Skull was a good movie. Not the best movie of all time, but good solid entertainment. Most importantly is it still felt like an Indiana Jones movie, especially the beginning sequence with the Russians and Area 51.
Indiana Jones is an obtainer of rare antiquities, not just a religious artifact treasure hunter. It’s mind blowing how simplistic and easily manipulated people have become to other people’s opinions on films (and music and other entertainment). So, a couple of big timer reviewers didn’t like Crystal Skull, so that means you’re not supposed to like it either. I guess you better proclaim your hatred for the movie to be with the cool people online.

I enjoyed “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. It was fun, and I was entertained the whole time. I got my money’s worth.
Everything about that movie was a mistake.
The kind of mistake that made me want to hunt down the script writer and clockwork orange him (her?) until they learned the difference between the Inca and the Maya and the difference between Peru and Belize.
Would it have been so hard for them to have put the setting in Belize?
Saying one movie is worse than another seems a pointless exercise when they all suck.
