I hated temple of doom and i hated crystal skull, now i sort of like parts of doom like the mine cart chase, but i still cannot stand shortround or the screaming chick anymore than Jar Jar Binks.

But hey at least the stunts and filming were all done in the raw and real not digital and no cgi cartoons were inserted.

There are also some pure indy moments in skull that i love but they are few and far between and obvious are Speilbergs doing, the prequel era lucasiism's ruined the rest of the movie. I cannot watch Last Crusade and enjoy as i once did either because they made Brodie into a moron and Sallah into a racist caricature.

So all in all there may as well be only 1 Indiana Jones film that is Good, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yes their are some silly moments there but not to the point where the rest of the film is ruined or you lose willful suspension of disbelief.

The Jeffery Boam parts of Last Crusade work but not the Lucas parts. One should give Lucas all the credit for Temple and those wonderful writers of Howard the Duck, Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz. Well okay they did write 35% of star wars and wrote American Graffiti, but doom and duck both sucked as scripts. Doom was obviously a very entertaining action spectacle.

The only nearly perfect script is Kasdan's Raiders. And they moved the mine cart chase and shanghai to Doom.
