If the words were not spoken but subtitled this film would rate an 8 as the sets are magnificent, the scenes excitement building on excitement. But the words were spoken as if uncle Bob or aunt Frenchie were reading a health related item out of the morning paper over coffee and toast. I know Indiana is known for his cool under fire yet at times that cool seems disinterest instead. Kate Capshaw has been mercilessly pounded for her acting ,completely deserved, but it's so bad I can't ignore it nor how it affected the storytelling. If you were to ask a 19-29 year old woman to play the part, someone attending college or working in an office with no acting experience, I believe the novice could give her lines more naturally than Ms Capshaw was capable of doing. It's a fine, exciting film building on the first "Indy" spectacular made mediocre by careless casting in Capshaw's case.
