May be minor spoilers, I won't put anything in that will ruin anything.
OK, first of all, I've never seen any of the other Indy movies. I know, I know, I suck but the movies never interested me before (although I want to see them now).
So, that being, I didn't have anything to compare this installment to. What I expected was not what I saw.
Now, I know it's an adventure movie and supposed to be reminiscint of the pulp fiction-comic type stuff but there's a difference between taking fictional-world liberties and making things completely unrealistic. You either make something logical that would make sense, or you go completely out there and have fun with it. IJ and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fell in between.
(spoilers, but not about the plot itself)
So after Indy's opening run in with the movie's villains he finds himself in an atomic testing site in NV... and he survives an atomic bomb... like, he was right where it dropped... and he lived by hiding in a lead-lined fridge... that's just something I couldn't believe, amongst other things.
Let's just say, when I left, I thought to myself a better title would have been Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the X-Files.
There were just as many good things though. The acting (aside from Karen Allen) was good. The story, while unbelievable, was fun. I loved the digital landscapes they created. And they left it open for an obvious sequel which I'm sure will be cool. All in all, I liked the movie. Didn't think it was great but I wasn't disappointed either.
