Well, that sucked

Back in January of 2007, as I was mulling over news that a fourth Indiana Jones movie was going into production and lamenting that the inevitable hard-hitting dramatic themes of that film would make my forthcoming (in fact, still forthcoming) Ohio Jones and the Search for Self look totally lame for also trying to tell a story about not knowing your place in the world, I wrote:

Since my big plan for 2007 has been to shoot Ohio Jones and the Search for Self, in which a washed-up, past-his-prime adventurer must unload his emotional baggage and discover his true place in the world, my sincere hope is that the plot of Indy 4 focuses on how virulent and psychologically uncomplicated the title character is.

Well, I got my wish! You can check out my full review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls over at Wakeup Naptown. But long story short: Rocky Balboa this ain't.
