Saw this last Wednesday and liked it quite a bit. I think I liked the first 3 movies better, but this was definitely a worthy followup, and lots of fun to watch.
I liked a lot of the real world references in the movie, like mentioning Indy working with the OSS during WWII, studying the alien in 1947, the Nazca lines in Peru. He even mentioned seeing a crystal skull in the London Museum, which I also saw and took a picture of a few years ago when I went to Europe.
I think Sean Connery was asked to be in it, but he has retired from film making. His last 2 movies (LXM and The Avengers) were widely panned by critics, which probably also made him want to leave the business.
The alien scenes may have been a little out there, but no more so than a 600 year old knight in the 3rd movie.
I guess I'd say my favorite scene was the chase in the jungle, which ended with the ants, and then ended up in the water.
