Good, but not as good...

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2006)

I just watched this again today for maybe the 20th time. I have to say that it doesn't quite hold up as well as Raiders and Temple of Doom. The 'leading lady' is the weakest of the trilogy, and the plotting seems like a pale retread of Raiders.
Obviously Connery adds some spice to the story, but this really is inferior to the first two in the series.
That being said, it does have the best 3rd act of any Indy movie.

PS: I'm kind of worried about Indy 4. How can Lucas pretend that he couldn't find a good script for it? Didn't he write Phantom Menace?
