FossMan 1 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Wow, I honestly cannot believe more people dislike "Last Crusade" than "ToD." Honestly, I've never met anyone who actually liked "ToD." I just recently re-watched it, since the last time I saw it was as a kid, and I still gotta say it sucked.I guess it wasn't really a bad movie, it's just that it was nowhere near as appealing to me. Indy seemed cockier and more... I dunno the word for it... out for blood than in the other two. And throw in the fact that with the other two dealt with Christian myths, they kinda left "ToD" a bit flat to my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 TOD is a great film, Spielberg and Lucas had real huts in those days.Those people you met have no taste.End of topic.Stefancos- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I agree with Steef. TOD is a classic adventure film. And I've always respected Roger Ebert for giving it 4 stars, despite the public backlash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrScratch 294 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 It's too bad River Phoenix isn't around, he'd be perfect to play an adult (yet still younger than the originals) Indy.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones.Even at 80 years old he is more suited then anyone else.Stefancos- already looking forward to Indy V, in 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Ford IS NOT the only actor to play Indiana Jones... he's one of, what FIVE actors to have played Dr. Jones. He's the original and the best, I don't think anyone would disagree with that. But, if I were Spielberg/Lucas I'd get a new actor to play Indy and do a whole new Indy trilogy! Even let different directors have their crack at it, after Spielberg does Indy IV of course. It would keep the series alive and really make it like a James Bond-type franchise, afterall, Bond was one of the inspirations for Indiana Jones.

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 One of my alltime favorite Indy moments is when he looks up after stealing the Sankara Stones to see the snake head, just that brief pause before he fixes his hat is priceless. Definitely And the "Stelaing the Stones" scene has SUCH a gorgeous choral moment in the score... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpeteer 302 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 OK. I've seen all three on DVD finally. I'd have to say "Last Crusade" is the least exciting of the three, mostly because they don't explore any new ground, with the exception of bringing in Indy's father.But then again, after the darkness of "Temple of Doom," seeing Marcus again was a fresh relief. There always has to be the stumbling buffoon in these action films. And having the tank chase closely modeled after the truck chase in "Raiders" at first seemed too derivative, but again, it was nice to come back to familiar territory.Jeff -- who still ranks the "No Ticket" scene as the best in the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman20 0 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 The Temple of Doom. It just seems off beat with the other two. It's much more darker than the other two films, and that's usually a good thing, but in this case, it doesn't do much for the story of the film. Anyway, biblical artifacts are so much more interesting than glowing balls if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 You think it surpasses Life of Brian and Monty Python's Holy Grail?. Definately, The Last Crusade is the best comedic movie ever! And I love Monty Python. Take that a measure of how great I think the LC is. Plus it's fulled with non-stop very exciting action set pieces.Anyway TOD is rather silly and childish compared to the other 2 films.Morn - Wondering about the mental health of some people who want a new Indy movie without Harrison Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I still stand with Morn. Just thinking about TLC makes stop in awe of the brilliant comedy and timing.

Morlock 11 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Although comedic is the wrong word, I have never laughed more and harder at a movie than TLC, and I'm talking about everytime I see it, after over 40 times. I, again, agree with Morn. There are very few great films that make me laugh consistantly and at leangth- TLC is one of them.

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Last Crusade the best comedic film ever? Some of the Marcus Brody bits were funny and some other stuff but it was not exactly a barrel of laughs. BTW one thing I disliked about TLC is the fact they turned Marcus Brody into a friggin fool. His character was never portrayed as dopey and out of it in the original film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QMM 4 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Temple of DoomThe movie itself was ok, I didn't really like how it began, Willie could've been taken out from the movie and it would have been much better which they tried to do when they ALMOST killed her off, but no she had to come back and keep whining.Best part of the movie was Short Round, isn't he the kid who played Data in the goonies? Anyways, his scenes with Indy are all so funny with the top being his poker game with IndySR: You cheat Dr. Jones You use 4 cards, I very small you cheat very big, play with you no fun Best scene in the whole movie was near the end where the March of the Slave children kicks in to reveal Indy's silhouette as he just whups all of the slave drivers.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 To get back to the topic at hand, I did vote that "Last Crusade" was my least favorite of the series. But the ending was probably better than the others. It just took a lot of time to get there musically and visually.Listen to the music from the moment Indy gets into the Grail room until the last note of the credits. Great stuff. The theme for the guardians is one of my favorite Indiana Jones themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel 0 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 As much as I love all three films.

I guess in their own way- but for me, Goodfellas is a unique masterpiece and DWW is simply not as compelling. DWW is quite unique, I don't see many films so qurky.All three movie are greatDunno network, but Rocky is a highly commercial movie about boxing which totally rips off Marlon Brando's character in On the Waterfront, Taxi Driver is a true and original masterpiece with a great score.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Back to Indy, I have little against Last Crusade. But I think it features the whole series' weakest moment, when Indy is holding Elsa so that she doesn't fall down the pit trying to reach the Grail. Indy says: "The other hand, honey!". Honey? I'm sorry, I thought this was Indiana Jones. Indy doesn't fall in love with his girls, and he was through with this one, right? Much less being a backstabbing, stone-hearted Nazi. How can Indy call that "honey"? I really dislike that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I love that moment. And it's Hon, not Honey. Either way- I think it really fits Harrison Ford to say that, in such an unlikely situation. BTW- I think I realised why ToD is my least favorite Indy film- with the first and third, I have a smile on my face the whole time, and laugh often at jokes I've seen and heard dozens of times before. With ToD, there are several scenes that I don't smile in. That's the difference. It's not the darkness- I always smile during the bug scene, mine chase and bridge scene. But still, ToD is a fantastic movie, and has one of my absolute favorite, and most charactaristic Indy moment- the thing on the plane: 'Nice Try Lao Che!' And then he closes the door to reveal that it's Lao Che's plane. I think that's pure brilliance, and perfectly timed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
