Fun enough to watch at times if you don't try and think. I has a nostalgic quality. The plot is not very well thought out and the villain is very thinly written. The finale is not very satisfying [on more reflection the end is terrible!!! Aliens, you have got to be kidding me!!! The pursuit of knowledge is a bad thing!!]. Still it is good to see Indy back in action. Karen Allen is enjoyable on screen and there are some well done action sequences. A real missed opportunity.
Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis:
Famed archaeologist/adventurer Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls.
