Going to see Indiana Jones and Camp Crystal Lake Skull TONIGHT!!!

[The One]

I don't know what to tell you COE other than it's a freakin' Indy film. Go back and rewatch some of that stuff, it's always over the top, ridiculous, don't suspend belief just check it at the door on your way in, slapstick, corny, dry, fun times.

I could suspend disbelief for the other films because they were engrossing from the beginning and it felt believable because the films made it feel so (except Temple of Doom).

With Crystal Skull, the directing and storytelling did not help with the suspension of disbelief, but merely pointed out the ridiculous nature of the actions. And sure, the raft bit from Temple of Doom is unbelieveable, but it's far more plausible than surviving an atomic bomb inside of a refrigerator which is entirely impossible.
