However, Spielberg isn't infallible. He's made some weak movies (though I'd argue he hasn't made a film that's a total wash since 2000). But at least we know he is happy with the finished product.
I think it was clear from the beginning not everyone would like INDY IV... and that has become especially clear to me from a lot of the spoiler information. No need to take these rumblings of KINGDOM being bad for anything more than they are: one person's opinion. If we start to hear a lot of people disliking it, I'll raise my eyebrows. For now, the info can't really sway me either way.
The previous three all arrived in a nine-year stretch, so any hype was contemporarily contained. Can any film emulate a 19 year wait? Probably not. Keep everything in context and we should love Indy 4. I truly cannot believe they've made a bad film.
