Raiders is bland. I find it boring,

I wonder if this is a generational thing. In the past, movies had their ups and downs - it was called pacing. Nowadays if something isn't exploding or someone screaming every 5 seconds, it's considered slow.

I was thinking the same thing. I was 10 or 11 when Raiders came out, and I loved it. I was about 13 when Temple of Doom came out and I also loved it.

I still love Raiders, but when I watch Doom now, I see that it is a much weaker film- almost an embarrassment to the franchise (not as bad as KOTCS, but still...). Sure, Doom has a lot of action (and I guess that's why I liked it initially) but it just isn't the masterpiece that Raiders is, and I can appreciate that now. Crusade is OK, but it didn't make much of an impression on me when it came out.
