I turned 40 4 days before CS came out. I saw Raiders when I was 13 on the big screen and was blown away. I live to see another Raiders-esque movie made but I don't think it will be, but ToD, LC and CS are definitely worthy follow-ups. I can understand why people are let down with CS but I don't agree with them. Raiders set the bar so high we are going to be let down unless something on par with Raiders is made. I think deep down in us is a prejudice led by the superiority of Raiders, but we have to let that go, at least as movie goers. The forces that go into making a movie - creative, economical and political - are tremendous and are probably beyond most fans ability to grasp them, mainly through inexperience. I think the way to purge this dissatisfaction with subsequent Indy flicks is to get our own inspiration and creative juices flowing and write stories and scripts that, at our amateur level, don't need to compromise. Who knows, they could even end up as a film.
Only for those who love the movie

I'm 25, and I've been a huge Indy fan since I was 5 and saw Temple of Doom (sans the heart ripping scene, which my brother fast forwarded through). As I've gotten older, I appreciate different aspects of the movies. That said, I was mildly disappointed with some parts of KOTCS, but overall, I really liked it both times I saw it.

Ha Ha! This understanding of children means that Harrison was merely a child when he made Raiders!

I turned 40 two days ago, about a month after taking my parents to see it; they're in their early 60s. We all enjoy the previous Indy movies and this one as well, though I should note they're not "fans" the way we are - more what one might term casual fans, perhaps.

Put me in there too and add two years...Agent Z said:I'm 36..and you can put me into the "Really Liked It!" group.
Today was my fifth visit to the movie theater!
Became a bit nostalgic/misty-eyed at the very end of the credits during the finale of the music followed by the Paramount logo... ...thought of it as the last time to experience Indy on the big screen (in a nice old film palace to boot: with curtains, balcony, you name it).
But never say never again...
