IJKCC is an awesome movie, much better than Temple of Doom. I don't know why everyone is so down on it.
All the sorts of holes and inconsistencies it suffers from are not much different from those of the eighties instalments. None of the Indy scripts are watertight. They are just clever scaffolds on which to hang action and character.
If you can watch the film without the baggage of expectations from decades of familiarity with the original material -- well, why should you? It plays really well into the established Indiana Jones mythos. I just love all the stuff about him getting old, especially when having only just been reunited with Marion he gets into an argument with her and turns aside saying, "same ol', same ol'." Brilliant! And on learning Mutt is his son, saying angrily, "Why didn't you make him finish school?"
I love this movie and will defend it to the end! (And the same goes for the Star Wars prequels!)
So there!
I know you must be trolling me when you say you love the prequels. I have started a review of the Phantom Menace if your interested
