First half rules. Even with the fridge scene, it genuinely rules. Really only starts to get dumb around the exploration stuff. Second half in general makes me want to neck myself though. So much potential. Rewatched in prep for the newest one. I'm sure I'll love it. Find out soon, all my zero fans. Very soon I'll let you know what I think about the 2.5 hour long Indiana Jones 5. I'm sure I'll love it. My rating for this film is only for the first 3rd, btw.
