Too much time has passed since I last saw Indy, and honestly, I stopped caring. There are tv shows I watched regularly until the writers strike forced them out of play for quite a few months. When the strike ended and new episodes came back on, i had already moved on and have not watched those shows since. That is how I felt about the latest Indiana Jones fare. I simply could not care.
It was not a bad film, but it just seemed tired.
Iron Man, although not breaking any new ground in a comic book film was at least a fresh character. If it takes twenty years for Iron Man 2 to come out, odds are, I will not care too much for that follow up either.

I'm going to guess that you didn't see Raiders in the theatres when it originally came out or you wouldn't be saying that.
[quote=Blake]I liked it a lot. For me, it's easily on par with Temple of Doom and Last Crusade. (I won't bother comparing it to Raiders, which is in a class by itself and probably can't be compared fairly to anything anymore.) It's great fun, even (or especially) in its most preposterous moments, which I guess is the point.

Many of the special effects looked hokey, like a thrill ride at Universal Studios. It was kind of like flogging a old horse. Sad, but you still have to see it because it's Indiana Jones.
