Indy seems so out of character in the movie. What he lacks is I guess the ''swagger'' or smarmy-ness or the edge that he had in the Original trilogy and even in the Mystery of the Blues book-ends. It sometimes seems like a different character, like Koepp didn't know how Indy should/would talk.
And Harrison's characterization of Indy seems almost over the top, like a homage to the way the character is supposed to act, or like Jack Ryan in an Indiana Jones costume; I can't quite explain it.
