Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Thoroughly enjoyable and exciting. Everyone is in top form. The plot, unfortunately, gets a little confusing and there are some loose ends left hanging. Where was the scene where they apologize to Indiana Jones for accusing him of being a communist? Also, the connection between the red-scare stuff in the first part of the script, and the UFO stuff from the second part doesn’t jibe. Shouldn’t red-scare paranoia and fear of communist mind-control lead Indiana to draw some conclusions about the ultimate intention of UFOs? It doesn’t, unfortunately. Nevertheless, it’s like wearing a freshly-laundered pair of your favorite underwear. It’s clean, it’s fresh, there might be a couple of holes, but you know it’s going to be comfortable and there won’t be any surprises.
