Just like the Star Wars Prequels which ruined the whole thing. I was 7 in 1977 when I saw the first SW and 11 when I saw Lost Ark, and had a sense of awe and wonderment. The new films are a parody, caricatures of the genuine thing. I fell asleep during the latest Indy in the theatre. Please dont come back Doctor Jones. You'll live forever in your first film. NO!

I love the Indy films 1-3, but the last one was a disgrace. It's one of the worst films I have ever seen. It captured nothing of the magic of the first 3 and completely abandoned their meaningful themes of the power of religion and the its abuse by ruling elites. Crystal Skull was an abomination. Leave it be. For the love of God no!

Let's see any of us (me included) could run along the top of wooden boxes (with no safety wires) 25 feet of the ground at full speed when we are 65 years old (you can see this in the behind the scenes materials on the DVD)? My point is that Harrison still has the spirit of adventure in him and I look forward to their next collaboration, should we be lucky enough to get one.

'Indiana's son' maybe. Doing a 5th indy with ford going around cracking whips around is pushing it too far. Someone young should take his place now. 'Indiana's son' maybe.

I later moved to Peru and it was quite disappointing how the movie portrayed Peru's ancient ruins and Mexico's as well. Simply calling the sloppiness "fiction and not a documentary" was simply not enough. We have "The Mummy" if we want that kind of movie.
