For me it used to be Raiders, the typical no-brainer response, but now I think it's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, despite the rather dull opening sequence which used to put me right off. |

doom is terrible. indy hitting women and children. completely misjudged. as conceded by speilbugg and lucas. george's divorse catharsis. Raiders and crusade are much better films. |

Hitting children? He slaps a child to break a spell and then saves a whole village of children. Re: hitting women, there are plenty of great films where a woman gets struck just as there are plenty of great films where a man gets struck, don't be so precious... the film is set in a bygone era and back then women weren't respected as they are now, just because some of that disrespect and arrogant chauvinism is depicted doesn't make it a terrible film. |

i like temple of doom but it's more of a fight between Raiders and Crusade for me... i think Raiders will win it indy end (see what i did there?) |

raiders for me. followed by temple of doom. it's so over the top, and it's definitely enjoyable! last crusade, is just too much of a comedy. i fucken love the film and find it hilarious and amusing, but raiders definitely tops it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ok, maybe last crusade isnt a comedy, but its still the lightest of them all.. |
||||||||
|

i like last crusade for the mystical elements and raiders for the girl with "i love you" written on her eyelids |
||||||||
|

i absolutelylove all of the indy films, i think it's one of the greatest trilogy ever. it used to be doom for me, i liked the darkness of it, and spielberg can fuck off for wanting a lighter feel to it. but i just watched last crusade again, and the big action/adventure scenes comes thick and fast. the tank situation is brilliant. river phoenix owned as young indy, ford and connery worked really well together and the ending is perfect. everything about that movie is great! |

And remember when he went into that train because he was being chased? There were snakes all over! |

Watched all three over the last week in preparation for the new film and although Raiders of the Lost Ark still stands the test of time Temple of Doom made me feel like a small boy again. Connery's a great addition in Last Crusade and, even though it's not, it feels like the weakest film as it just doesn't capture the rip roaring feel of the first two. The end doesn't do it for me either (I would've liked to have seen Connery take the knights place). So, Raiders is the better film but I enjoy Temple of Doom more. |

Young Indiana Jones and the Attack of the Hawkmen jk I barely remember the TV series. I need to go back to the movies though its been so long. They kind of blend together in my mind, but I remember seeing Raiders the most as a kid. I'm sure I'll have a little marathon before seeing the new one (maybe even rent some young indy). |

indy end any tombraider flick will win over any indy flick, by a double boob-length |
||||||||

|
|
Temple of Doom for me mainly because its the one I watched most as a kid and grew up loving it. Haven't seen it for years though. its kinda like the Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me' not the best bond film, but one of the most enjoyable! |

I really love them all. Each has it's own unique qualities, which just make them a pleasure to watch. Indy 4 has a lot to live up to and I can't wait to see it next week. |

coming in at rotten tomatoes. |

Ooof, not looking too pretty is it! |

"...and Indy’s struggle is once again to ensure that a precious, mysterious object remains safe from those bent on destroying humanity." the formula's still there :) |

Well, doesn't look as if it's going to be the full-tilt excite-O-rama we hoped for. |

ROTLA will always be the original. But I love all the Indie so much. |

Its got 70% thats not bad at all! |
||||||||
|

its gonna have some great moments. also its gonna be weird , cause it will be the first time you seen it.. last time i saw an indie film for the first time i was well young.. i just hope they don't repeat the script from the previous films star wars did that ...they kept saying the same lines....even R2 D2 kept bleeping the same bleeps. if marian says ...."im you god damn partner" i may let that one go. y know.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, but it was only at 61% when I linked it, plus even the positive reviews were mainly luke-warm :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope the indy formula dosn't get a complete modern reworking. I am worried because they would be soiling something precious to me. I think we are all bound to be disappointed cos we expect this new one to rival the old trilogy whilst doing something new enough to be worth watching. Thats a tricky balance |

I've seen the trailer and I fear too much CGI will ruin the film for me. Most of the action sequences in the first three movies were entertaining, raw and somewhat realistic. If they go over the top with the CGI, it'll be far too glossy and 'epic' compared to the other three movies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One of the biggest things mentioned is the relative lack of apparent CGI, so you should be happy. |

i think they are pretty much as good as the order they came out in. The first one is clearly the best, the darkest movie of the 3 and imo even more visceral and violent than Temple (but still in a slapstick way). The scene where he meets marrion and a gunfight erupts in the bar and the truck chase sequence are still two of the best action scenes ever in film history. Last crusade is still a good film but i think the weakest of the 3. Temple is fun because its even more of a stereotypical 30's ish throwback and i heard its a prequel not a sequel to Raiders... is this true? |

these percentage tallies on rotten tomatoes are kind of irritating to me. Its one thing to take something useful away from a reviewer you know who gives you a number rating like 7/10 or something but its strange to me that anyone can take something useful from a aggregating average of hundreds of reviewers they are unfamiliar with. |
||||||||

jackeroffer, Temple of Doom is indeed set before Raiders RE: Rotten Tomatoes, I like to scan the reviews - it's often a pretty good way of getting the general feel of a film. Also, an "average rating" is given for a film (at the moment Indy IV is about 6.8/10). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also think Temple of Doom has the best musical score by far. the mine car chase scene, slave theme, willie seduction theme, and the spike room music is ridiculously good. Probably my favorite ever of john williams besides empire strikes back (yoda theme and the empire theme is unbeatable). one big dissapointment i know im going to have in Indy 4 is ive already listened to the entire leaked score and there is no recognizable 'theme' for the movie like in the previous ones. they redo the 'dad' theme from crusade a lot im this one as well as the ark theme from Raiders. |
||||||||

|

just curious how do they make known to the audience in Temple that it takes place before Raiders? I didnt know this until very recently and only found out by reading imdb trivia. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At the beginning of the film it says the year ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really only like Raiders of the Lost Ark the other two are okay i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt mean to imply the Indy 4 music was shit, its actually much better sounding to me than the john williams stuff in the star wars prequals. this sounds very much like classic indiana jones music with some new twists. and about the date at the beginning of temple, ive never noticed! do they make any other mentions of the year in the film? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
recently saw bad boy bubby. was really good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think so... just at the beginning it says "Shanghai 1935" or whatever year it's set it in ;) |
