Hubby and I were very disappointed with this movie. My husband is a big big Indiana Jones fan and so is my son. They both were bored in the show. I think the critics reviews are very wrong here.
it disappoints the indiana jones fans as they expected much more out of this movie. the plot was blank and the neither the story nor acting were so great! i feel it is better not to waste money watching this movie.
Biggest disappointment of the year so far. This is one of the top 5 worst movies of all time. This movie's script sucks. Dialogues are so amateurish. The movie betrays the Indiana Jones tradition in a big way.
