So I should wait a couple weeks 'til it goes to DVD & rent vs paying $12 for the big-screen?

Well Mikeus didn't seem to hate it as much as me.

Even if it hadn't gone all crazy at the end, the acting was horrible, the villains were comical, and the stunts far more outrageous than could even be possible - and looked way too CGI.

Just like the new Star Wars, it lacked a certain... something, that the previous ones had. Maybe it was Harrison just calling it in. Maybe it was the cheesy CGI. I dunno.

I do know that this pales in comparison to Raiders, on every level. I loved how they tied in the Nazis and pre-war Germany. It was full of historical nuance, and actually believable. On the other hand, the Soviets just feel like an after thought, and the costumes/vehicles were ridiculous. "Who can we get to be the bad guys." Also believable in Raiders were the stunts. While some of them were highly unlikely, they could have happened. The new ones just left me thinking, "how stupid".

Ok I don't want to give to much away...

I read almost exactly the opposite elsewhere.
