You are partially correct.  &quot;It did what movies are supposed to do. Entertain.&quot; - I must disagree.  Horrible, horrible, horrible.

I am not looking at movies as being terribly realistic.  I've heard it called &quot;the suspension of disbelief.&quot;  I am MORE than capable of suspending the rules that govern our universe for the purpose of enjoying a movie.  And my friends will tell you that my simple ways, in virtually all cases, allow me to enjoy things such as average movies far more than them.  The problem is as follows:

Spiderman, Ironman and Willow all require me to suspend reality because they are made to be fantastic and unrealistic.  Loved all those movies.  

The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is supposed to be an archeologist on the planet earth in the 50s getting chased by Russians.  It's a completely different situation.  The problem here is that there is one, not minor but MAJOR, need after another to suspend reality in a movie that just doesn't work with that kind of fantastic garbage.  

Not that I liked the whole magical alien thing, but that part of the story is supposed to be magical and I will go along with that.  The Ark of the Covenant killing Nazis is magical, I will go along with that.  The Holy grail, etc...  All things I'm willing to go along with.  The problem was, they did things that were SO over the top that is just got stupid.  The best example is the refrigerator - Have him in the fridge and just survive the blast.  Why did he need to take the three mile air trip?  It's just dumb.  

The worst part?  I was SO desperately hoping this movie was going to be good.  I'm quite certain that that played into why I hated it so much.  But hate it I did and hate it I will.
