One thing I will say about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Harrison Ford as Indy still has got it and so does my longtime crush Marion Ravenwood.
With a different subject matter hopefully something Biblical and someone besides Shia Lebeauf as his son the movie might have worked.

I really don't understand why people think Shia Lebeauf is a good actor

I'd agree with this.

I didnt even care about the aliens plot. But dammit, the story literally seemed like something Lucas and Spielbergs dogs came up with one night while smoking pot. "Dude, lets make Indy hunt aliens. Don't worry about a plot, its Indy. People will see it. Thats more than enough."

Aliens could have worked.
The script was just extremely shitty was all. It blows my mind that it took them so long to come up with that.
Then the way it was filmed looked like crap b/c it was all green screen and there was way too much pointless CG.

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.

Nuke fridge.

The movie was bad but I think the "nuke fridge" gets too bad of a wrap. A staple of Indy films is that he gets out of something completely ridiculous and unrealistic in the first 20 minutes. He outruns a boulder in Raiders. In temple of doom, he jumps from an airplane with 2 other people, inflates a raft mid-air, flys it down to the river, fall off a cliff, and comes to shore without a scratch.

He also rides the top of a submarine.
The monkeys scene is much worse than the nuke fridge.

True but the vine swinging was horrible.
why exactly did the benign aliens set things up to kill the person who returned the skull while at the same time wiping out the next door village.
along with the terrible script, the direction was equally bad. Daytime to night in minutes. The magnetism was a real mess with some soldiers struggling while the person next to them was unaffected.
terrible film. For me an even larger disappointment than the star wars prequels.

Why don't you just shut the friction up about Sam Witwicki.

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]

What else would you expect from a movie involving George Lucas in this day and age?

Just like the Star Wars prequels.
Hell, as awesome as Peter Jackson is, he fell into this trap (a little, anyway) with The Hobbit. Let's hope he rethinks that for the next two.

Just have to say that I saw Raiders on the big screen for the first time last night, and it was awesome.

well I didn't expect him and Spielberg to be straight up lying when they were going around press junkets claiming they used old school practical effects.

I thought it was worse in the shitty arse dino stampede in King Kong.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Then again, I was never a big Indiana Jones fan.
Posted on 6/13/13 at 3:56 pm to MaesterMullen
This movie had way too many problems, Shia lebouf would be a longs ways down the list. Script was bad and made worse by directing. I would like to see them try one more but I'm sure they'd frick that up too.

I don't consider it a part of the franchise. It's that bad. It's the only Indiana Jones movie I avoid anytime it's on television.
