HPFAN_2 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Feel free to close this thread and point me in the right direction if this thread has already been done. I've been noticing something interesting. Now that the film is released and on dvd people have been getting a little more concrete in their opinion of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Some critics lists it as one of the greatest disappointments of 2008. I just wanted hard data of who on this site actually enjoyed the film and would rank it among the original trilogy. You can discuss the issue if you want but I'm not willing to enable that kind of behavior because knowing all of you this issue probably has been discussed ad nauseum. So just poll is all I ask for. Again if this exists somewhere else tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,676 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 It has some nice bits within it that work, but overall as an Indy film, it disappoints me. It definitely doesn't rank with the first 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Just to annoy you, I have voted both "Yes" and "No" in this poll. Because I can, that's why.Also, because I don't really care that much about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Rather Lengthy Title anyway.

Andy 4,092 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Like others, I enjoyed it, but it has some things in it that keep it from feeling equal to the other three. (And I don't mean the fridge or the monkeys). I felt that Indy's command presence seemed diluted with all the other characters in the entourage in the third act.I wonder how much better I'd enjoy it if Williams had delivered a home run score.

Quintus 5,399 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I wanted to, I really really wanted to, but ultimately, I failed. I do not like Indy IV. I'm not gonna pick out the few good points it has, because I wouldn't do that for any other bad film and Indy IV is no different to the endless supply of other summer turkeys out there. I don't owe the makers constructive criticism or anything else.Spielberg TOTALLY f*cked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I didn't find it nearly as flawed as people here said, either because it did or didn't follow the Indy formula. That's just a stupid way to judge it, and not everyone here judges it that way, but still...I liked it better than the weirdness of Temple Of Doom, and I've never been a fan of The Last Crusade, so it's my second favorite Indy Movie.So yes, I liked it a lot, and I do not nitpick, so I do not feel it was heavily flawed.

Quintus 5,399 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There is no need for a middle ground option, since the question is perfectly straightforward and answerable.

Ollie 1,059 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Yes this poll has been done but I'm not going to look for the original thread. No I did not like it. It was an insult to the first three films. I can't believe it took them 10+ years of "yes were going to do it, no we're not" to get this film going and this was the best idea/script they could come up with.

crocodile 7,990 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The third act is weak, weak, weak. I didn't love Darabont's draft, but at least at this point in the script that whole resolution connected somehow to the growth of Indy character. When he had to decide what matters to him most. It was cheesy as hell, but at least it was about something. The finale in the film is ...just there.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,676 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Is there an Indy formula?What I didn't like is some of the lazy writing.Lazy performances, villain I laughed at, reliance on CG, completely redundant scenes (model town and nuclear explosion), ending I didn't care about to a fairly boring story.Those are my KotCS complaints in a nutshell. None of those apply to the original trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Liking it and ranking it among the original trilogy are two different things.I like the film, but it's far from being as good as the other ones are.I appreciate it for being another adventure movie with Indiana Jones,but it's hardly another Indiana Jones movie to me.I like it though.
