This will be my last point on this because i don't want to further derail this thread. But that saying i was going to hate the 4th Indy from the start is completely false. I saw Last Crusade in theaters twice and loved the film, and waited since that one was released to ask for the next one.
A Mayan/Aztec or whatever temple transforming into an alien spaceship? Trans-dimension beings this is not stargate or star trek.
The surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge and riding it through the air for 3 miles. The cgi gophers.prairie dogs, shia and the monkeys winging like tarzan after the Russians.
Falling down three waterfalls in a jeep. This stuff was was more ridiculous to me than any of the previous 3 films.
The stuff in the previous films was made to fit into the context of the Indiana Jones world. Not shoehorn bad ripoffs of the ripoffs like the mummy or national treasure into the movie, or add x-files into it too.
When the Temple became a spaceship i exclaimed audibly in the theater "wtf? Lucas" and almost walked out of the movie. I have never in my life been more embarrassed in seeing such a worthless piece of Hollywood garbage put there on the silver screen before my very eyes.
This was a new low actually way worse than episode 1, 2 and 3 of star wars. Because i actually cared about the character Harrison Ford plays. It would have been like if lucas made episode 7 of star wars with hamill, fisher and ford and crapped all over the original trilogy with over the top cgi nonsense and antics.
I had no established connection to Christensen or Portman and could give a shit less if lucas ruins those characters edits or adds cgi to the movies, crap on them whatever.
But the original original trilogy needs to be left the fuck alone and not shit upon like it is.
As it is there is 1 ruined Indiana Jones movie, ruined with overwrought and uncessary cartoon esque looney tunes cgi. and All six star wars films ruined with Cgi. Not a single one left untouched, even the originals. And we got them in a laserdisc transfer in non anamorphic. It was like " Sorry we ruined your favorite movies here you can watch them as bonus discs in shitty bootleg non anamorphic quality. You should be thankfull we destroyed those classic films and made you buy the lucas approved 2004 DVD twice to get to see them."
