There's little negative that I can say that hasn't already been said about this movie. Cheesy script. Lack of suspension of disbelief. The general feeling of a petty nostalgia grab. It's all been said before. When the movie was initially released, I wondered "Would this have worked if it was released 4 years after 'Last Crusade', with a slightly different cast and a somewhat younger Indy"? The only answer I could come to is a resounding "no". The move from religious/mythological fantasy to science fiction stood out for me as an odd choice for the plot of an Indian Jones movie. The crazy stunts were beyond the crazy stunts we've seen in the other Indiana Jones movies, which says a lot. Also the plot felt too corny and inauthentic. Mutt's character was too cliche, to the point at which you guessed who he was 45 seconds after he appears on screen. It wasn't an extra-bad movie. I would label it an 'extra medium' movie. Average as far as movies go, far below average as far as the series goes.
