Which do you think would've been the better Indy 4? Forgetting that Crystal Skull was the final film, just going by both scripts?
I actually like Saucermen more. It takes a lot more risks and might've been a great film. Kingdom is too much of a compromise between Lucas' experimental nature and Spielberg's more conservative view of the series. You can't go both ways and have it flow well--which is a big problem with KotCS. It tries to be traditional with aliens thrown in at the end--sort of foot in, foot out. It feels haphazard. ToD nearly had this problem except that both parts--the comedic adventure, and the dark horror film--somehow fit together nicely.
