most pg-13 movies are aimed at kids? that's literally why even Die Hard and Terminator movies are pg-13 now because its more profitable for kids to be able to go

Don't let Jerry Cotton distract you from the real monster, fruit on the bottom, who claims that Temple of Doom is worse than Crystal Skull.

While Temple of Doom is a more entertaining movie than crystal skulls, crystal skulls didn't have early tintin levels of racism so it's kind of a toss up.

I’ll also defend the thematic choice of changing it from ancient artifacts and Nazis to aliens and communists to better suit the changing focus of pulp fiction in the era

If they'd managed to get it going when he was still young looking it almost certainly would have still been about nazis

Better villains, better love interest, better music, better action set pieces and the Ark, front and centre with it’s spooky theme and sense of otherworldly power vs a cup of Alka Seltzer that appears in the last five minutes of the movie.

I really like the 'commies using alien mind control' stuff in Crystal Skull. It totally fits the pulp adventure genre, since it's an actual conspiracy theory following on from Nazis using biblical artifacts to gain mystical powers. Most of the cast turn in pretty good performances too. Unfortunately, Shia LaBoeuf is awful and eats up the majority of screen time, some of the cgi perils (like the ants and the swinging on vines nonsense) look atrocious, and the set pieces and physical action sequences aren't as ambitious or interesting as previous instalments. I don't hate it or anything and wouldn't complain if I had to watch it again.

I learned English with Fate of Atlantis and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, so they'll always have a special place in my heart. My dad and I spent hours upon hours with those games, him painstakingly translating every word for me, often using a dictionary. Good times.
