The funny thing is Crystal Skull is the best of the summer blockbusters simply because it is Indiana Jones and stars Harrison Ford. it may be garbage in comparison to the originals, but is still worlds better than the hulk, iron man or any other hollywood dreck.

As for how it matches up against say the dark knight that is another story, still batman was not one of the movie heroes of my youth since the first film came out in 1989. Indiana Jones was, as well as the real star wars heroes of the oot. not hayden and co.

And Despite how i like Tim Burtons take on Batman i find it esoteric and bizarre, like a bad circus act. Maybe that is how he saw it because he was jaded and could not take heroes seriously and at face value. Batman Begins was the best i think because Batman Year One is simply the best characterization i have ever read of him in the comics.

While we are on the subject of Harrison Ford despite what the critics say his last good movie was K-19 the widowmaker. i cannot believe ford and neeson were not nominated for awards for that.

Sure in terms of Box office ford's last hit was Airforce One. Which was okay but no way near as good as Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger.

Hollywood Homicide was Mildy humorous and fun for maybe one viewing, despite the really bad rap murder plot.

Firewall was ok but a really lame excuse for a movie for Harrison Ford one of hollywoods best actors.

Random Hearts and what Lies Beneath , and Sabrina are also awful films.

What happened to good films like Witness, Presumed Innocent, The Fugitive, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger. Serious acting roles. Not Saturday Matinee Serial fare.

Ford had lots of good films for nearly two decades and started making shit films.
