"we get a decent action scene followed by 10 minutes of boring exposition"

I.E., the street scene in raiders followed by Indy and Sallah talking about the ark's location and Nazis digging
or Indy and Marion finding a ship and talkign to the captain about where they're going, and the nazis setting up shop and arguing with Indy over the Ark for 20 minutes after the single greatest action sequence in movies?

All I'm saying, and I know you are a film buff like I am, but all I'm saying is just cuz you hated the movie doesn't make it flawed. You have every right to hate it, but just because TO YOU the plot sucked or things seemed off or it wasn't good doesn't mean it is technically falacious. It's the same deal as the others. I think a lot of people remember the movies as being so damn good, rightfully so, that they go into a new one expecting it to be so damn good based on their now more mature tastes, and instead of judging and accepting it as and Indy movie, judge it compared to an "indie" movie.
