The first three movies are almost peerless adventure movies, even Temple. I love them far more than Star Wars. I have no opinion on Crystal Skull because I haven't bothered seeing it.

I prefer Raiders over Last Crusade, but I like Crystal Skull more than Temple of Doom. I would rather never see Crystal Skull or Temple of Doom again, but if forced to choose, Crystal Skull is the better one to riff on, IMO.

I rewatched them recently and I don't want to knock Raiders too hard, but Crusade just felt more...energized.

Crusade is best, and Crystal Skull is for definitely better than Temple of Doom. Main complaints against Crystal Skull are unrealistic scenes (nuking the fridge), Shia LaBeouf, and aliens, but in Temple of Doom Indiana Jones rides an inflatable raft out of a fuckin' plane, Willie Scott mostly just screams constantly, and yeah okay maybe aliens are a little weird but whatever. Not saying Crystal is necessarily good, but Doom is worse. The Tarzan scene is indefensible though.

I think the thing that completely ruined Crystal Skull is the Tarzan scene, the rest I'm ok with and even think is quite fitting considering the era it is supposed to take place in.

I saw the Incredibles 2 on Saturday and well, this is a pretty big spoiler so I'm going to hide it under a black bar: The main dude supporting The Incredibles this time around is a guy Winston Deavor, who a flashy marketing dude who wants to bring the supers back. He has a sister who invents stuff for their telecom company, her name is Evelyn Deavor. try saying that name aloud a couple times. She ends up being the big bad, of course.

I know it's weird, and I'm not going to even attempt to argue or justify it, but I just liked the action, pacing, and characters in Temple of Doom. Especially the opening number. Small bit of trivia, the illustration of Ark's terrible power that Indy pulls out of his really big book at the beginning of Raiders was drawn by Ralph McQuarrie (the guy who did all the Star Wars concept art).  I was kind of bummed it wasn't something in a real Bible.  Davros1 posted:Hi Steven! Hi Davros! Did you see my movie about the nerd who really likes everything 80's? The 80's were fun.

That opening action sequence has a fun sight gag where the fighting breaks open a crate and we can briefly see the Ark nestled in some hay.

Temple of Doom is awesome. Just a dark, spiteful movie. Plus the whole escape from the temple is the best action in any of the movies.

Not hugely subtle, as a couple of shots do draw attention to it, but I liked how in Don't Breathe the antagonist (a blind war veteran) is orientating himself by touching specific areas in the house. You can see him counting doorways in his head, touching an otherwise useless fan, etc. Stephen Lang put in an absolutely fantastic performance. drat shame it turned out the blind man was a crazed, god hating rapist. It immediately stripped away all ambiguity from the situation.

Best action sequences 1) Raiders convoy 2) Crusade tank 3) Temple mine cart All were great though. I haven't seen Crystal. The clip I saw of the cgi monkey chase looked awful. Maybe it's less awful in context?

Everyone hates on the aliens and the CGI, but nobody focuses on the biggest problem the movie has which is that nobody is capable of suspension of disbelief strong enough for Shia LeBouf to believably play a cool greaser.

Who the heck would you get to play a cool greaser nowadays? Really, the whole archetype seems like it'd have trouble getting off the ground presented unironically, everyone loves characters presented with at least a charming level of awkwardness.

I honestly don't understand the complaints about the fridge scene, that's classic Indy heroic legend comedy action stuff, same as the mine carts or rubber raft. The casting choice was bad but could be forgivable. Aliens is a fine twist, but as has been said, should have been proven or impled at the end only. The monkey scene was unforgivable, unfathomable garbage. Even one person greenlighting that would be an all time Hollywood gently caress-up, but for it to make it into the theatrical release is a mind-blowingly colossal failure.

The aliens were fine as long as they were just long-dead skeletons but when one came back to life I wanted to punch lucas & spielberg edit: "native americans used to worship creatures that might have been aliens" is a lot easier to swallow than "oh and their skeletons merged or something and one came back to life and now it flies off in a UFO" peer has a new favorite as of 13:05 on Jun 29, 2018 |

The fridge scene was great. Indy looking around and seeing all the mannequins was a classic Raiders type scene and getting blown hundreds of feet away and surviving is no different than riding a raft 2k down feet into a snowbank or hanging onto a sub for a thousand miles. The loving crystal skull was terrible, though. It looked plastic with aluminum foil rolled up inside and appeared to weigh almost nothing. Like I'm watching it being carried and tossed around like it's a toy from the dollar store. As a prop it was horrible. Maybe Harrison had a rotatory cuff issue and they needed to make it as light as possible.
