|Elflocko| Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 [quote name='BengalBacker' post='668194' date='May 27 2008, 12:37 AM']I just watched it. Worst of the series, but if you're a big fan of the series, you'll be entertained. As long as you expect it to be the worst of the series.[/quote] I'm guessing you've never seen "Temple of Doom", which broke one of the cardinal rules of sequels, "Little kids are not entertaining and will most likely tank your entire film as the audience will wish for the villain to kill him ". TOD is one of the worst movies ever, let alone in the Indianan Jones series. The Crystal Skull may be a distant 3rd, but it's not nearly as bad as TOD...

I've never cared much for TOD. IMO Crystal Skull is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Henrys Dealer Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Put me in the didn't really like it camp. Didn't like Temple of Doom either because at the time as an 8 year old I got into multiple fights with my thick classmates in England to convince them that Indians didn't eat monkey brains and eye ball soup (my mum is Indian) Raiders and last Crusade rock though.

Jason Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 We saw it yesterday and both enjoyed it. Yeah, this one was more "sci-fi" than "religion" but it still had the supernatural elements all the Indy movies had, and some good chase scenes. And the refrigerator was great. Spoiler alert below. Does anyone think they may continue the series now with Indy's son the new hero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 so I was watching Last Crusade on USA lastnight and found one critical error as far as Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls goes: (not so much a spoiler) [spoiler]In Crystal Skulls, Indy mentions that his dad is dead.
