I never understood why so many people in here claim to love Temple (I suspect it's pure contrarianism for at least 70% of them) and I guess I can understand someone liking it as much as Crusade maybe, but Raiders is just a downright perfect action adventure movie. I'd put it right up there with the first Pirates Of The Caribbean and Fellowship Of The Ring as the holy trinity of adventure movies.
here's the deal about what made temple so great. it was just non stop thrills every second. constant bugs and dead shit and snakes, every imaginable animal. a spooky theme of ritualistic hindu death cults taking white women as prisoners. the movie is ripped from pulp rags of a bygone era and god damnit it deserves more recognition
See I think Raiders is the best, but I prefer Temple to Crusade.
Temple >Has the best opening sequence of the series >Feels the most like the old movie serials that these movies are emulating >Successfully pulls off a kid sidekick character >Much like Raiders has a unique tone, distinct from any other movie >Has the most memorable human villain
Crusade >Has a hotter love interest >Has cool puzzles leading to the grail >More memorable lines than Crusade
But also >Does the shitty prequel opening in which the entire personality of Indiana Jones was developed in the course of one afternoon when he was a teenager. And he's just never evolved past that. >Includes Sean Connery as a wink and nod to the character's inspiration, but opts to mine it for lame old man antics rather than making him an interesting or unique character that might play off of Ford well. >Has a bland, forgettable and at times even boring tone and sense of pacing. >All of its most memorable moments are in the last 15 minutes.
It's one where I don't begrudge anyone who loves Crusade, but I myself am always truly baffled where the love comes from. To the point where people consider it the best. I get not liking Temple, but Crusade feels so blasé.
Thanks guys. I'm sick of people just saying Temple but never why. For me it will always be Raiders (solid film from start to finish), followed by Crusade (because Connery & Ford are just incredible together, and Connery alone could have carried it). Us oldgays never heard much support for Temple, yet now I've heard a ton in recent years. It's so much more fun knowing why you guys dig it so much.

Look i agree with what you said about crusade and its overrated imo but the child actor temple was nothing but annoying. Its like they got ~~*greedy*~~ after the first films initial success and tried to stuff a kid in it for ~~*marketing*~~.

Kid was far less annoying than the dame, but she has breasts to make up for it. He was a good character, had a good little arc, the part in the climax where Indy is beating up the high priest dude and Short Round is beating up the weird homosexual little prince kid was kino.
Well, 1) I'm a Nazi and 2 it's the one I watched the most in my formative years, but it's also the most exciting one, as guy above says, it's fricking nonstop over the top great fricking pulp shit.
I’m referring to the darker tone of the movie, you absolute lead paintchip-eating mongoloid. Also considering you’re LARPing as a Nazi sympathizer, you’re pretty edgy. Just cringe.
I suspect because It’s one of the very few post-70s movies to depict British colonialism as a net positive. The bad guy thugees even make it a point to reprimand the British for “treating them like children” or whatever the line is when they are killing people and then the British save Indiana at the end of the movie.
Raiders is the epic OG, Crusade is a good ending, and Temple of Doom is a good side quest. I just wish there were more movies made before Crusades, playing the ancient barely paranormal card.
Went and watched the latest indiana jones shite, the only good parts were the opening with the deep fake, felt like classic indi action.
the rest was a slow decent into just boring macguffin chasing .
should of gone full bonkers with multiple jones' from the timelines all running from boulders together
Raiders is far and away the best of the films.
Temple of Doom is both overhated and overrated.
Last Crusade is a paint by numbers retake of Raiders.
Crystal Skull shouldn't exist and changing influences from 30's Serials to 50's B-movies 4 movies in is a total fricking non sequitur. And I say that as someone that clearly doesn't like Crusade for being too self referential. You can go too far in the other direction too.
>You can go too far in the other direction too.
It's interesting, because despite the shift in direction it's still more samey than Temple of Doom in a lot of ways. It involves an antagonistic government and Jones in a race to obtain ancient artifacts of mysterious power. Yeah, they're Soviets instead of Nazis, but that doesn't really matter much to the plot or even the texture of the movie.
KOTCS isn't as bad as the Star Wars prequels. It's not good, though. I like the scene with Jones and Mutt in the diner, but once the movie's plot really gets going it becomes an inferior rehash that culminates in CGI monkeys.
I rewatched it this year. Its definitely flawed, and the enormous amount of CGI for the climax is atrocious, but I absolutely disagree with the hate it got
Not crystal skull lol
why?
OK, I actually do like Crystal Skull, but it's obviously the weakest Indiana Jones movie.
mommy always wins
Last Crusade
Raiders
Temple
eternal power gap
Skull
Raiders and Crusade are tied for me. They both have the same feel while Temple is just off for some reason.
Yeah I can go with that, there isn't much between them.
There really is. Crusade is taken far less seriously than Raiders. It's basically an action comedy.
all of them because they are not disney shit like the new one
Correct answer.
Raiders of the Lost Ark. Undisputed.
I dispute it.
My favorite was Temple of Doom.
Dilator of destiny.
Crystal Skull is the best. It has aged like a fine wine, but is a ferocious filter for the pleb mind.
Oh yeah, the monkey scene was kino
my fav will always be Temple of Doom, but I think Raiders is the best film of the three
This guy gets it.
thanks bro

Last Crusade then Raiders. They'd nearly be tied but Connery and Doody put it over the top.

that's like praising someone for successfully shitting on your pancakes

People on here like Temple because they’re autists who like edgy shit. That’s why they like ROTS so much.
Oh man, we don't want to kill Germans, we're so edgy!

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Temple of Doom
Dial of Destiny
Last Crusade
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Raiders > Temple = Crusade > Skull
I'll watch Dial of Destiny eventually but I really don't care about it at all.
All are good
All 5
Crystal Skull is the worst
1 > 2 > 3
Raiders is the epic OG, Crusade is a good ending, and Temple of Doom is a good side quest. I just wish there were more movies made before Crusades, playing the ancient barely paranormal card.
>I just wish there were more movies made before Crusade
We all do. Even one within 5 years after Crusade. KOTCS was just too late, among other issues.
1>3>2
never saw 4. not seeing 5.
Is Indiana Jones useless?
1>3>2>4
I liked all of them.
The best One !!
BASED
Crusade > Atlantis > Raiders > Doom > Dial > Crystal Skull
Atlantis, Infernal Machine, and Emperor's Tomb were all better than Crystal Skull tbqh
Last Crusade definitely, Harrison Ford cant act like anything but a grump.

For me it's Temple of Doom
>people actually like crystal skull
Can we get rid of all the prequel fans?
Even at the time I didn't hate Crystal Skull. Actually showing the aliens was a mistake though

It had some interesting scenes and concepts. It's better than 90% of modern capeshit.
the fricking ants kept me up at night when it came out
i always thought Temple of Doom was the best because of the set design
Temple of Doom, hands down, has the chink kid, the hot blonde, the musical number intro, evil pajeets, it's perfect.
The ancient aliens one. It explains the why the stupid shit in every other movie
Temple.
It's the least israeli one.
Not so sure about that, champ.
I'm a Last Crusade kind of guy
Right on, dude.
None. Never like the character of Indiana Jones. T oo cliché.
>T oo cliché.
Unlike flying bodybuilder #3213351351531156653411, amirite?
First 3 are good like the og SW trilogy. Skull is like prequel trilogy bad and the new one is Disney shit bad. Zoomer opinion btw. bye boomers.
>Zoomer opinion btw
also correct opinion. Indiana Jones is a trilogy
If only republicans have reduced the deficit by even a single penny in well over 40 years I could tell you which one wins. Sad face.
spoiler alert: Crusade > Ark > Doom > Skull > Eating dog feces > Dial
Honestly
1 > 2 >>>> 3 = 4
Kinda enjoy 3 the least amount tbh at least 4 was different
Last Crusade obviously. Indy and his father relationship is soul healing.
Chewie we're home.
