How old were we all when we saw those for the first time??? Perhaps our first and lasting impressions of these films were a little more biased in a positive fashion in our younger years. Seeing this one in all our old ages may not affect us like it did back then. Even though all were unbelievable, twenty something years ago it was a little easier for me to become positively and emotionally engaged in such. Then, of course, that childhood impression of Indiana Jones sticks with us.
Or maybe not...
