I really enjoyed this one, mainly because I viewed the entire thing as a pulp overload.
Indy riding rocket sleds and witnessing atomic blasts in the American Southwest...fighting skeleton warriors above the Nazca lines...being subjected to a psychic interrogation in the heart of the Amazon...battling Russians amid a swarm of giant ants...uncovering an ancient race of aliens beneath a lost city...and ultimately coming face to face with a flying saucer???
Nearly every major scene could be the cover of a 1950's pulp magazine sprung to life. So while I definitely saw the technical flaws and script woes, the other stuff was just too much fun for them to really matter to me.
