Despite average reviews, my teenage son and I went to see it and we both really enjoyed it. I was a bit worried about the start (old grumpy Indy in underwear...).
But it did pick up and gradually built to a big finish and a lovely sentimental ending.
It is probably not yet at the same level as the first three movies but definitely a step above Crystal Skulls.
The ultimate action trio of the movie (i won't spoilt who they are) works well. That trio blends - with different characters - Raiders of Ark's Karen Allen's fierce female lead and Temple of Doom's Short Round. A bit of nostalgia.
A few characters are introduced and disappear very quickly (no spoiler), underutilising their respective actors.
Apart from a bit too many CGI, too many characters, and a slow start, a good entry in Indy's saga and good recovery from Indy IV.
