Some have complained that this Indy film is much too silly. The scene most frequently referenced is the funny moment in which Indy survives a nuclear blast by placing himself inside a lead-lined refrigerator. That's absolutely preposterous, certainly. But Indy's inexplicable ability to survive impossible situations is part of what has always endeared him to me. Consider that sequence in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, in which Indy and his friends manage to survive a long plummet from an airplane using an inflatable raft, and then manage to survive yet another enormous drop into a raging river. If a cheap inflatable raft can help someone survive a fall of thousands of feet then a lead-lined fridge can get someone through a nuclear blast. Of course, if you think that both scenes are equally obnoxious, then I simply have no case to make with you. Your view of what an action movie should be is obviously different than mine. But it's frankly hypocritical to attack this film for silliness while defending the other three.
HA!

Ah, but a cheap inflatable raft CAN'T save you from a drop at that hight, Mythbusters proved it.

Except that it obviously can because Indy is still alive. 
And I've been a fan of Indy 4 since the beginning. Yeah, Lucas' crayon-scribbles on the script were annoying, but enough of Spielberg's magic shone through to justify it.

Anything can happen. I've seen some crazy s**t in my time. Some of it I would never have believed possible. I shouldn't even be alive myself right now if you believe in how things *work*.
Heh, Indy 4 rocks, maybe not HARD, but it rocks.

Inserting mean, stoic Russians in uniform in place of mean, stoic Germans in uniform from the 1st Jones' movie was about as lame as it gets.
That, and the whole alien skull bit.

My ratings:
Raiders- solid freakin' 10
The other three- 8.5
Not bad for a series IMO.
ETA: well, 9 for Crusade because of Connery...

A frontal lobotomy from Reavers is better than Revenge of the Sith. . .
