I don't recall many raves; most critics seemed to find it relatively uninspired and unecessary, if still mildly diverting. So it doesn't really surprise me that the new one's getting a similar reaction. Was anyone really expecting a chorus of rave reviews? I wonder what Indy newbies (many of them probably about the age we were when we first saw RAIDERS) are gonna make of it... LAST CRUSADE got a similar reaction when it came out, didn’t it?
