From Cinelinx:
Is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull really the worst Indiana Jones movie out there? We dive into the beloved franchise to see and make the argument that Temple of Doom is as bad—or worse—than Crystal Skull is.
One can find a quite revealing, fascinatingly candid admission by Steven Spielberg on a documentary for Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull featured on the film’s DVD release.
Indiana Jones 5 is indeed still on the way, and according to Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy, Harrison Ford can't wait to make it.
EB: Prequels in general are pretty bad, and that is mostly due to the major sins they commit in relation to their source material. Prequels sometimes invalidate, sometimes contradict, and most of the time they unearth a lot of the surprises and stories from the original work that can even take away credence from the original itself! The central thesis boils down to: prequels, I hate them.
Personally speaking, I dislike Temple of Doom far more than Crystal Skull. I can sit through Crystal Skull and enjoy myself...while I get bored with Temple.
I was disappointed in the Crystal Skull myself. Aside from the fact that he got together with the first female character and the mother of his son and that rounded out the family, the rest of the story was a little drab.
Whaaaaa Temple of Doom is great, there's not really much wrong with it unlike the Crystal Skull
Kali maaaa... KALI MAAA... KALI MAAAAAAAAAA
Crystal Skull was an abomination should never have been made. Temple of Doom was awesome
Um, is this a real question?
Temple of Doom is a classic bro and not cause its old. That entire movie had my son dressing up as Indy for years at Halloween and humming the theme.
