It might have over the top action that The Last Crusade lacks (even though the tank chase is my favorite action piece ever) i doubt it will have the emotional crescendo that The Last Crusade had. It's without a doubt the most dramatic and enriching of the original three.
No,
Crystal Skull won't be as emotional or deep as
Last Crusade. It can't be. The relationship between Indiana and his former girlfriend's son cannot resonate the same way his relationship with his estranged father did. It just can't.
But it will beat it in the action adventure department, I think. Speedboat chase on the London docks, for God's sake.

My perception of the tank chase is that it's dull. John Williams steps in to give the illusion of excitement. I was referring to Marcus not knowing how to get off. Er...try stepping off Marcus. My granny did, so you can.
Well that was intended as comic relief more than as a suspenseful moment, ie a genuine obstacle our heroes have to overcome. He's a wuss, and it doesn't occur to him that he's going to have to jump.
I thought there were some great moments. "WO IST JONESSSS!!!!!", followed by our answer, Indy appearing out of the cloud of sand alongside the tank,was a moment I really loved. Also the part where Indy is slamming Vogel's head against. Really brutal stuff, and I really loved it. John Williams' music through the whole scene was outstanding as well.
