For a person who is unfamiliar with the other 3 movies, I enjoyed it. (Ive seen the temple of doom, but that was in spanish class, so needless to say I really didnt see it)
You have to remember that Spielberg is a big Sci-Fi guy, and to combine his sci-fi fetish with lucas' imagination, I think it was pretty good, but not my thing.
What I liked about the movie was the comedy and the chemistry between the different characters. You have to appreciate the fact that they acknowledged Jones being old and made it humorous.
As for the beginning being bad, I think it was midly important, it introduces the characters a bit and sets up the plot, but I do think it was a bit of a waste. As for the ending--I wasn't a fan.
And to Kokoed, You are the first person I've heard besides Corey Balint use the phrase "Gadzooks". I didn't believe the phrase existed.
