Looking back, if a viewer doesn't hale from a Judeo-Christian culture, then the entire premise of the first movie - searching for the ark of the covenant -could have been offensive, or at least far-fetched. And the fact that in the movie the ark is actually found and turns out to have mystical powers that kill the people who open it, such a viewr might think the show was dissapointing. But the plot is not a stretch for Speilberg, given his heritage.

The second movie must have required non-Christians to put their concerns aside as Indiana found the Challace that Christ himself used at the last supper, and that very cup did in fact have powers to give life to the faithful and take life from the greedy. This one could have been seen as a sellout on the part of Mr. Speiberg by his congregation (I'm sure he is given a pass because its a noble business, this hollywood stuff).

So this one, having actuall aliens, isn't really out of form for entire saga.

I liked the movie every bit as much as the others.

It's the third movie which features the Holy Grail. The 2nd involves pagan rituals which allow a man to pull a beating heart out of a person while both the heart and the individual remain alive and alert.

I was sooooooo glad to find out that if you are in an old refrigerator you will be protected from a nuclear blast and even though the refrigerator flies through the air and rolls down a mountain, the door will not open and throw you out and you will incur no injuries as a result of being in a refrigerator.

For the record, it can't just be any ol' fridge. If you looked closely it said it was a lead lined fridge.

You guys are too much! And more about that plastic but highly magnetic skull.....How come it did not affect all the Russian guards' guns, belts, buttons, evil woman's sword, etc? A strange skull indeed.....
