| It was about an hour too long, needlessly (in terms of exposition) filled out with repetitive bouts of pugilism, chase scenes. and improbable stunts, very much in the Bond, Mission Impossible, etc., etc. mold. Also Nazis, Indy's ex, and a cute, devoted and energetic (etc., etc.) young PoC. Suffice to say, a lot of ideas tossed into the cement mixer. There was some cool ancient history stuff in very well-done CGI (as one might expect, given its pedigree). Apart from being way too long, and me losing patience during the long middle, and again during the long, drawn-out ending, I did enjoy the rest well enough.
