re: One thing I will say about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I like the concept of an older Indy. The backstory made sense as well, as in Indy joining the OSS in WWII. And the Russians were a logical adversary in the 1950s.
Again, I have no issues with the aliens plot. Why wouldn't Indy be involved in something like that.
Its just infuriating to see what they put on screen. Last Crusade was a superb movie.
For fun, go read the Wiki synopsis of Last Crusade development. Once you see what that movie went through to get to the wonderful piece of film it was, you'll understand why Crystal Skull is so bad. George really needs to take a break.

Chris Columbus—who had written the Spielberg-produced Gremlins, The Goonies, and Young Sherlock Holmes—was hired to write the script. His first draft, dated May 3, 1985, changed the main plot device to a Garden of Immortal Peaches. It begins in 1937, with Indiana battling the murderous ghost of Baron Seamus Seagrove III in Scotland. Indiana travels to Mozambique to aid Dr. Clare Clarke (a Katharine Hepburn type according to Lucas), who has found a 200-year-old pygmy. The pygmy is kidnapped by the Nazis during a boat chase, and Indiana, Clare and Scraggy Brier—an old friend of Indiana—travel up the Zambezi river to rescue him. Indiana is killed in the climactic battle but is resurrected by the Monkey King. Other characters include a cannibalistic African tribe; Nazi Sergeant Gutterbuhg, who has a mechanical arm; Betsy, a stowaway student who is suicidally in love with Indiana; and a pirate leader named Kezure (described as a Toshiro Mifune type), who dies eating a peach because he is not pure of heart. The tank is three stories high and requires Indiana to ride a rhinoceros to commandeer it.[6]
