First half is pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2015)

This film is a pretty good ride. Since it's rated as one of the top 100 movies of all time, you'd be crazy not to see it. It has all the hallmarks of an IJ thriller, including the great main character (apparently rated as one of the greatest characters in movie history), the fast-paced plot, the great music, the archaeological discoveries, and so on.
However, "Last Crusade" was the third in the IJ series, so it just didn't seem that fun or original anymore. OK, the first half was pretty good, but it got bogged down in the second half. I had this impression when it was first released; reviewing it again recently just confirmed that for me.
I think it's worth about 7.5 but I'm going to round it up to 8.
