Last night I saw Indy a second time, and I do recommend seeing the movie at least one other time before making a final opinion. There are some silly/bad moments in it that you will nitpick the first time around, but seeing it a second time you realize how short and brief those moments are. You realize that as a whole it is a great movie.
Is it the best? No, there was no way it could trump Raiders.
Harrison Ford is back and still holds it up as Indy. Shia is surprisingly to me really good in his role. His character is a great sidekick. Cate does a fantastic job as the villain. Karen Allen's Mario could've been put to better use, but it is nice that she is back. John Hurt plays his character very well. Finally, Ray Winstone is seemingly perfect in the portrayal of Mac.
Some may complain about the true nature of the skull, but to me it is totally believable if you can believe Indy can survive riding down a mountain on an inflatable raft or the power of the Ark.
It is a great action movie, and a good Indy movie. Here's my ranking of the films.
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Last Crusade
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Temple of Doom
