Does not disappoint....a truly archetypical Indiana Jones experience. A better job could not have been done in rounding out the beloved characters and series. The storyline did exactly that gracefully and with respect and dignity from start to finish, giving us everything we could want for Indy's last adventure. Harrison Ford is perfection as an older version of his iconic character, and I love that they did not shy away from but rather embraced his age with charm and humor. The appearances of Sallah and Marion nearly brought tears to my eyes, and the casting of the new characters was inspired. The special effects are as wonderful as always, in particular Indy's digitally-enhanced younger self. The cornucopia of sets and costumes are amazing in their authenticity, detail and diversity, and the score is, of course, everything we've come to expect and then some. The icing on the cake is the reenactment of the "where doesn't it hurt?" scene. It was emotional and heartwarming seeing the two characters come full circle from the very first film; I can't think of a more perfect way to wrap up Indy's adventures and to pay tribute and say goodbye to the characters we've come to love. Harrison Ford said he wouldn't miss Indy because he had "fullfilled his purpose." I agree with him on the latter but not so much the former. I will miss Indiana Jones very much. It was hard knowing I was watching the final adventure. I honestly didn't want to watch to the end because if I did it would all be over. But if Indy's story had to end, it couldn't have been done in a classier way.
