I took Lewis to see it on Thursday in an almost empty cinema (the 3.00pm showing)

We both loved it - he sat enthralled right the way through. I liked the fact that they didn't try to make Ford younger and that he was made to feel his age in certain scenes. It was good to have Karen Allen back - she has so much more of a character than the females in the later films. We now know what happened to their relationship after the end of Ark.

It was also good that they gave tribute to Denholm Elliot - he was a good character in the earlier films.

I must admit that tidying it all up at the end was a little trite, but I reckon that, given the circumstances, they felt that they morally had to go that route.

I could see a sequel with Shia LeBeouf as the main character.
