I can sum this movie up very simply:
Our whip-carrying adventurer needs help getting out of quicksand, but manages to survive a nuclear explosion by climbing inside a refrigerator.
This was my first visit to a movie theater since moving to the Philippines. For myself, Epril, Susan, and Ednil... 4 tickets... it cost $5. But, I spent $12 on snacks: A large soda was only 12 ounces, and a large popcorn was the size of a kid's bagged lunch. (I go through that much in just the opening scenes, ya know.)
Anyway, if you are all about the action: Great movie. If you are interested in a good story: Meh. If you are the detail-oriented type who thrives on consistency, plausibility, and the simple rules of physics: Run away, mate.
As for Indiana Jones / Harrison Ford himself though: Still one of the best movie characters / actors ever. Roger Ebert summed it up best: "He has one of those Robert Mitchum faces that doesn't age, it only frowns more."

Thanks for the info about Indy. Its playing here in town - think we'll go. Even if our papers only gave it 2 stars. They're FUN movies to go to.
