After a long absence, it's great to see an Indiana Jones movie again. I won't go into the whole plot, as other reviews have done that, plus this is one of the most talked about movies in a long time, so most people pretty much know what it's about.
Since George Lucas is involved, and it's a huge francise, I wouldn't be surprised to see reviews being ridiculously nitpicky, especially in regard to certain scenes. This is a little annoying on my part, as you'd be hard pressed to like a movie where you liked EVERY single scene. What you should know is that this is a very entertaining film, with lots of action and unexpected humor, and this cast has some of the strongest chemistry I've seen in a movie.
On a self-indulgent note, I teach at a summer program at Yale University every summer, and was there last summer when they were filming their scenes. Anyway, that classroom that Indy is teaching in is one that I taught in a few years ago. Very exciting, on my part.
