George Lucas, I give you one last chance. I'm going to see Indiana Jones tonight. I am confident or at least hopeful that Spielberg will be able to pull your butt out of the Sesame Street like world you fell into.
Good luck with that, perhaps choose a different film that involves george lucas if you are giving him one last chance...

That aside.
Saw it last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it for what I expected it to be. An old fashioned action adventure full of stunts and (as mentioned above) less than realistic survivals from impossible odds. Harrison Ford was still the definitive Indie Jones. No younger man could have done it better.
However, I'm not sure I enjoyed where they went with it for the ending.
Spoiler but only if you think hard about it.

I don't want to give it away but I think most people will guess where the ending is going after the opening scenes. It was OK but going in that direction just didn't seem to fit the genre as well as I would have liked. Although I know there are many theorists who would say it's very plausible based on ancient drawings and paintings.
Also, it seemed a bit of direct rip off from another movie that definitely did better fit the ending. There were even many other similarities. Killer bees to Killer ants, etc...
