I'm a little surprised by some of the bashing this movie receives. Yes, it does have a weaker story than either Raiders or The Last Crusade, but it does have the most action in the series, particularly the thrill-packed finale, one of the best extended action sequences ever put on film. The action scenes here are a bit more polished than in Raiders of the Lost Ark and there's more humor, and even a kid sidekick, which might annoy some. Overall, probably the least of the series, but even at that, it's still the third best pure action film of the 80's (behind you know what two other films).
