So, who's seen it and what did you think?

I went to see it the other day and, not having any particular high expectations, was rather pleasantly surprised!

Sure, it's not as good as the first trilogy, but better than the crystal skull (which still was decent imho).

The de-aging was very well done and it had some nice fan service.

Could've toned down the action scenes a bit, they were rather long at times, but I still really enjoyed it. It was a fun movie. :)

I saw it last night on a really big screen, which made it very immersive. The sound, cinematography, and effects were strong. There were only a couple of times that the de-aging was noticeable. I agree that was very well done.

Overall, I thought it was just ok. It won't go down as one of my favorite movies; the plot was too forgettable. For my tastes, there was a bit too much action. It had a bit of the exploration/puzzle-solving feel of the originals but not enough.

I agree on the action part. I wanted more puzzle solving too.

And yeah, it might not leave as much of an imprint as the older ones bu still.. laid back fun. :)
