Well, I saw it this afternoon at the press screening in Boston. I would give it three out of four stars. Without going into details (because I hate spoilers as much as the next guy), I'll just mention the good, the bad and the overall.
The Good: the cast, how the film handles Indy's age, the interplay between Allen and Ford, the jungle chase, the opening, the many references to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The Not-So-Good: the big set piece at the end of the film, a midsection that is slightly on the talky side, villains that don't have much character depth (a problem that has plagued ToD and Last Crusade as well).
Overall: part nostalgia trip and part roller-coaster ride, the film held my interest more than Last Crusade did. Like Lucas said, don't expect the Second Coming. Just sit back for 122 minutes and enjoy the ride.
