Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are two stand-alone films, but with the same main character.
Just like The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are two stand-alone films with two entirely different purposes.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has its moments at the beginning and the ending, but the midsection bogs the whole thing down.
Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi make up the Star Wars films. Nothing else after 1983.
Guess you have not seen the holiday special tv movie that came out in 1978. That should also be of selective repressed/erased memory. There was awful star wars long before the prequels.
One of the worst characters in temple of doom has the least screen time. Dan Akroyd's performance/cameo with a bad accent. Before Indy boards Lao Che airlines,lol.
I guess Spielberg did'nt think it was enough to have him in one bad film of his 1941.
If you include Crystal Skull and Howard the Duck, 1941, War of the Worlds, the star wars prequels. Look at all the turkeys lucas and spielberg has made between them.
And now you have Spielberg producing bad movies like transformers 1 and 2.
Once upon a time he executive produced a good film called back to the future,lol. I guess those days are behind us now.
Not to mention that was the only good film Bob Z ever made and would be the last good film he would make.
Castaway was decent but annoying in quite a few places. That snow train movie was awful, and beowulf was an absolute abomination to its source material, and on top of that the film sucked. Back to the Future II and III were mediocre if not exactly awful.
