I rented this last night to see if it had improved since i saw it in may.To be honest i did enjoy it a little more than the first time.The cinematography is very good and the action and fx scenes are good. However,the film drags big time during the midsection.Indy and Mutt go into a cave and just talk,talk,talk,talk,talk,talk and walk out with a crystal skull that wasnt that hard to get really.This would have been a greta opportunity for Indy to overcome some awesome traps like he did in the classic trilogy,but it was wasted.The scene where Indy and the gang are captured in the camp seems to go on for eternity. Two things REALLY bugged me this time.After the waterfalls sequence,Indy picks up the skull,sees the cave entrance and says ''I have to do this alone''.Next thing we see,the whole gang are with him as he enters the caves.The movie contradicts itself! And why,why,why when Mac stumbles as he is trying to escape,does Indy toss him his whip to help him? The guy is just a few steps away from him! All Indy had to do was take a few steps and help him up(Its not as if Mac couldnt just stand up and follow Indy out either).This was the most nonsensical thing iv ever seen! I do think the Jungle chase is really good however,and Indy fighting the big russian surrounded by ants was cool.
