Technically, only the holy grail (3rd movie) had a Christian artifact. The Ark of the Covenant is Jewish, and the Sankara stones were Hindu.
Enough religion, back to your regularly scheduled Frontroom debate on Lucas' suckage.

Re: Indiana Jones...
I thought the debate on Lucas was closed; the debate is what he did to this film.
Anyways, I haven't seen it and I don't think I want to see it in theaters - doesn't sound anywhere as good as the classic trilogy.

So, if I have to choose between Ironman or Indy 4, should I choose Ironman?

Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
Re: Indiana Jones...
YES! Iron man was unusually good, and I usually hate superhero movies.
Re: Indiana Jones...
Haven't seen Indy, but there's no reason not to see Iron Man. Favourite movie I've seen in a while, endlessly quotable.

As quoteable as 300?
Re: Indiana Jones...
I walked out of the theater trying to convince myself that I didn't hate it, but I failed. I did hate it. The script was average, the acting was phoned-in, and the plot... oh my. The movie had no energy at all. The original movies had a spark that made them feel very improvised (and some parts actually were!). The dialog was natural and easy and the characters felt like real people. This movie had none of that. Almost every single line felt like it was being read dead-pan off of cue cards. Some of the 'stunts' were absolutely absurd. The Indy films were action oriented, but the danger situations were generally plausible (at least, the non-supernatural ones). Not so in Indy 4. The films forces you to suspend your disbelief almost immediately, because it blatantly makes all characters invincible. There is one particular scene early on where Indy pretty much shrugs off a... uh... large explosion... as if nothing had happened. Using such an event as a 'minor' danger that is tangential to the plotline is a travesty.
This is not the Indy I grew up with.
