It makes it more acceptable if you purchased a ticket to a revival of a 20-year-old franchise whose tennets, whether desireable or not, are long-ago established.
I'm not trying to make anyone "wrong" for their opinions. Opinions I happen to have shared 24 years ago when the first Raiders sequel was released.
I just want to suggest a frame of mind condusive to enjoying the film (many people here are going to see it for the first time tomorrow night), and to suggest that frame of mind is not out of keeping with what's been established in the Indiana Jones universe.
I'm the first one to decry the absurdity that's been established in the Indiana Jones universe ... but it's been established for decades and acceptance of it is pretty crucial to enjoying your two hours and fourteen dollars spent.
