Favourite James Bond Films: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Mission: Impossible and any upcoming action films starring Pierce Brosnan (no, it's not James Bond which is good because he'll need it to expand his reputation as an actor, especially in the action realm)
Favourite Films: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Harry Potter, Middle-Earth, The Matrix, Mission: Impossible

In 2008, the man of all adventures returns to the big screen. Like Star Wars, Indiana Jones had made his return after a very long gap, and his return was the most anticipated by many moviegoers. Indy is not the only icon who returned as an older action hero. This trend was started by Rocky Balboa, which marked Rocky's return after 16 years. John McClane and Rambo also returned after a long gap. At release, the 4th Indy installment received mixed reviews much like the first Star Wars prequel when it came out in 1999. Lucas bashers would say, "Lucas screwed up Star Wars. Now he screwed up Indiana Jones." The mixed fanbase reaction did not surprise George Lucas as he expected the same results as those with the Star Wars prequels. "We're all going to get people throwing tomatoes at us," the series' creator had predicted. "But it's a fun movie to make." For some fans, they consider it as superior to Episode I. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull may not be the best movie ever made, but it is a classic and a better Bond movie compared to Quantum of Souless.Is this the last Indy movie? Perhaps not but only time will tell. Anyway, this concludes the Indy poll but not to worry.....there's still two more episodes for the Star Wars poll. "You're a teacher?" "Part-time."Also check out Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

I'm not sure about this. I enjoyed it when I watched it in the cinema and on subsequent viewings. It is not as good as the others but was a good effort after the long break after Crusade.
It could have been awful!!!

8/10
I've watched it a few times and think it is an enjoyable later comeback entry.

I'll vote 8 as I enjoyed it and as 009 said it could have been dreadful.

That nuke the fridge bit was taken from an early draft of Back to the Future.
