The last Indiana Jones film? Well, if it is this is a lovely way to finish the saga. I went in expecting nothing special and was pleasantly surprised by the action, concepts, and the nostalgia. I wasn't thrilled with the main female character--Phoebe Waller-Bridge performed well, I just didn't like the character. I was also hoping for more Marion and Sallah but what we got was very appreciated. There are some interesting ideas in this story and the setting works. Mads Mikkelsen is brilliant (he's so good at being evil) and I was fully immersed in the action and adventure. A great escape.
