once again too much to wade through every single post but:
in my opinion, the indy films in order of greatness:
1- Last Crusade
2- Raiders
3- KOTCS
4- TOD

ToD has better music, better action, better dialogue, better sidekick, better climax, better McGuffin, weaker damsel, villain about the same

A really like TOD, but KOTCS is better in every aspect. Just the first 2 minutes of Crystal Skull beats the whole Temple of Doom. The good thing is that now, with 4 movies everybody can mix their Indy trilogy. Mine would look like this: ROTLA,TLC and KOTCS.

I'm not sure where I sit on this... it's almost a toss-up, although ToD is probably in the lead. I saw KotCS twice on opening day; the first time through I didn't know what to think.
What I came out of it with (especially the second time) was that yeah, the CGI is a little weird at times, but I think it's just another one of those quirks that'll blend with the oddities of the other films, once the newness has worn off. The crystal skull thing was cool, but I think it could have been developed better. It seemed a little easy, comparatively. (But maybe that's because Mutt was a big help?) I think the jungle and the beginning were some of the best fight sequences in the series, though. Tied with (if not exceeding) LC's tank fight.
It's got a lot of things going for it, but perhaps not enough.

Yep, I agree. I think fans will accept it over time after the shock is gone.

I've never accepted Batman & Robin or Highlander 2, why should we? Rationalizing does not make it a better movie.

Well then I love to hate this movie. It has usurped Phantom Menace with my contempt.

I feel the same. I prefer the ToD magic over the KotCS aleins.DocWhiskey said:

I just have one serious thing to say, and that is: "Rope Bridge."

Temple of Doom may be the weakest film in terms of plot, but everyone on this board has seen it a thousand times like I have. It is more highly regarded than people give it credit for. Saying that KOTCS is better than TOD is more of a declarative statement than people think, and for me, KOTCS being the weakest of the four is not an insult at all to the series.
