    ★★½

    I am a huge Indiana Jones fan, but this was average at best. Felt like a step down even from Crystal Skull. Not compelling and the side characters weren’t interesting. Ford’s love for the character was evident, though, and he still did excellently.

    ★★★★

    Pretty incredible job building tension and keeping the audience on their toes. The claustrophobic setting is very fitting and the script justifies it well.
