Exactly! I loved Indy 4. It was certainly more believable (to me, at least) than Raiders. And it was enjoyable. The only things that got me was the selective magnetism of the box--not the skull, but the box itself.
I honestly don't understand why people hate Indy 4. What exactly were they expecting, some deep and involved plot about the fragility of mankind? The entire Indy franchise is, as you said, a giant live-action swashbuckling cartoon complete with sucker punches and whips and manpurses and ophidiophobia. And villians with the sharpshooting skills of Stormtroopers.
Also, if you liked Close Encounters, you might want to take a road trip to the Devils Tower, WY KOA. They show the movie every night in an outdoor theater in the shadow of Devils Tower. It's creepy and an almost religious experience.
