A prequel sequel? Maybe... huh?

Is there really a need to review it? I mean after all, it wasn't nearly as interesting or compelling as the original or the sequels. Sure the supernatural aspect of pulling a beating heart out is cool, but not quite like the wrath of God tearing ass on a Nazi platoon.
Indy didn't need a sidekick in the form of Batman's Asian 'Robin', nor the typical screaming broad (Sorry Mrs. Speilberg)...
While the film's opening gave a glimmer of retro type adventure films of the Saturday matinee variety... it didn't quite happen.
Well, it's a prequel, so maybe just categorize it under the 'Adventures of Young Indiana Jones' and leave it on the same shelf.
Kinda' like Superman III & IV (ask Warner Bros.), just pretend it didn't happen and move on the the next sequel... Junior!
