I could understand if the demand for it just wasn't there, but I remember people being thrilled about the idea of an Indy IV way, way back just a short time after Last Crusade came out. This movie would have been a money maker back then too, and it would have had a better chance of being good. Now it just feels like another crappy bookend to finish the Indy franchise off. Now the movies we like will be surrounded by a pretty crappy TV series, and possible a very crappy attempt to get a few more drops out of a fairly old cow. Even if the milk is still good, there is no denying that it would have tasted a lot better ten years ago.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
