It's with much embarrassment that I must admit that I've not seen all of the Indiana Jones films, and I only saw Raiders once when I was about 10 years old. With that valuable context now exposed to the world, I must say I quite enjoyed this movie? The opening 30 minute segment was great all around with everything I'd expect from a revival of Indiana Jones (minus some sloppy moments with the de-aging). Punching Nazis, cracking whips, death-defying car chases and a fantastical, MacGuffin-lead plot are all here and they're all pleasantly presented with enough references and call backs to satiate the modern movie going public. Is it the franchise revival to bring in a new era of Indy and right all the wrongs of Crystal Skull? Absolutely not, but it's definitely a much nicer footnote to leave the character on than what we had previously.
