Just because the movie was released 42 years after Raiders, that doesn't mean that the movie takes place 42 years after Raiders.

Judging from the moon landing background, the movie takes place in 1969.

I just wanna know 2 things:

Was it an entertaining film?
Of the 4 Indy movies, where would 'you' place it. Is it at least better than the third installment (which I truly disliked).

Why do Indy and Marion get divorced in this new installment? Is Karen Allen is this new version at all?

The movie was ok for the 1st 40 mins then it just gets sillier. Lucasfilm should have passed the torch or allowed the story to end after Crusades.

Crystal Skull was really bad but if they had a decent story they could have pass the torch to Indy's son. Although, Shia was the wrong choice for the character.

Thank god that the son has been killed off in the Vietnam War here. Shia alone ruined that last Indy film for me (along with an overdose of CGI).

>>> I always felt it made more sense that Mutt was actually the son of Belloq since Shia resembled him more.

The dumbest character was Mutt. The name, his backstory, etc. If Lucas want to milk Indiana Jones more then they should have created a better son to take the mantle from Indy.

Not sure what the plan is with Helena as she is not a likeable character nor an actual Jones.
