Of course it's not as good as Raiders or Last Crusade, but what is?

As someone (maybe the only person) who loved Frankenstein: Agent of SHADE, I was all set to correct you, but I looked it up before posting. Ha, I didn't know that was Velcoro's original name! Learn something every day.

Even if that were true, he still made Last Crusade. So he gets a pass.

That series balances out their great movies with follow ups that are inversely proportional in terms of quality. Raiders is balanced out by the garbage fire that was Temple of Doom, and Crusade was balanced out by Crystal Skull.

Weirdly enough, this seems true as well.
By the way, all Star Wars movies are on the same level, somewhere below that.

My dad is a huge Harrison Ford fan and used to make a point of going to see every single movie with Harrison Ford in the cinema. I once asked him, "What's your favourite Harrison Ford movie?" and said I imagined it was Last Crusade or The Fugitive but eventually admitted that it was Working Girl.

Rereading that Dial H run by China Mieville. The premise is that there are these rotary phone dials you can use to Dial H For Hero, which will give you the powers of some randomly-selected hero, ideally copying them but possibly taking them. Better hope you don't dial up Superman's powers while he's fighting Darkseid. These dials were created by some old society at the center of the multiverse, and apparently some people didn't much care for the Dialers stealing their powers. Not sure if I caught this first time, but note the names of the two armies that came together against the dial-pirates.

I think its not being helped by the artist leaning toward low or high angles of view which, while reinforcing the adult/child contrast, accentuate the body shapes a bit much given the proportions they've chosen.

My fav Harrison flick is The Mosquito Coast, it’s a fabulously odd tale of a American nutter who decides to up sticks with his family to the Amazon because he feels the country has gone to the dogs and builds a giant ice maker in the middle of the jungle.

TLC is the fourth best Indy flick. I respect KotCS for at least trying something different, plus Cate is divine as usual.
