It fit very well, and totally felt like Indy to me. I have no problem with the aliens. (In a world with crazy religious powers and magic, are aliens really that hard to believe? Come on, we're Heroscapers for crying out loud. )

Like I said, 3 was just too campy for me. I watched it with my whole family, and none of us liked it. I was actually really surprised when I saw online it has such good reviews. Nobody I know in real life around here likes it. (I don't mind that you like it, I just don't like hate for the 4th movie just because of the aliens. Shia Lebouf? Yeah, hate him, perfectly fine. )

I have no issues with Indy 4 or 3 or any of the others for that matter. They are great movies and nothing happened in 4 that did not fit perfectly well with the rest of the set. However I also happen to like Shia as an actor as well. So I'm prepared to take attacks on both fronts. I thought he was all wrong for that role however and think his performance only hurt the movie. I did care very much for him as an actor in Transformers though Incoming rage!
