While the James Bond series is leaving behind campy cartoon action for a dustier, grittier 'realism,' Indy is speeding headlong into Looney Toons absurdity.

Want some real perspective? Ask me in ten years: hindsight has a nasty habit of being right. But for right now, on May 22, 2008? Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull is a movie worth getting excited for.

Indy isn't boning up on Babylonian texts; he's leafing through the Weekly World News.

Senior citizens' special of the year, a popcorn movie made from, uh, mature corn.

The film's joyless, going-through-the-motions mood cannot be ignored.

A big-budget, corny, by-the-numbers sequel designed to please legions of nostalgic fans.

There's nothing but entertainment value here.

A perfectly great bout of escapism with Indiana Jones at his best...

Expecting Brando-esque menace or Dreyfus-ian uplift from the Indiana Jones tetralogy is like going to the candy counter at the mall multiplex and asking for some goat cheese and a nice cabernet.

The action is the movie's raison d'être, of course, but the setups are wittier than the payoffs.

Crystal Skull isn't bad -- there are a few dazzling sequences, and a couple of good performances -- but the unprecedented blend of comedy and action that made the movies so much more fun than any other adventure series is mostly gone.

Crystal Skull is a fun ride, but if we have to wait 19 years for the next one, that's OK by me.
