Ford last played the daredevil archaeologist in 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The content of the new story is still being thrashed out by Lucas, but Crystal Skull received mixed reviews. Spielberg told Empire he was 'very happy' with it, but sympathised with people who didn't like the 'MacGuffin.' 'I never liked the MacGuffin,' he said. 'George (Lucas) and I had big arguments about the MacGuffin. I didn't want these things to be either aliens or inter-dimensional beings.' However, the ET director did own up to one thing. 'What people really jumped at was Indy climbing into a refrigerator and getting blown into the sky by an atom-bomb blast,' he said. 'Blame me. Don't blame George. That was my silly idea.'
If it only was the fridge, that would not have harmed the movie that much. THe silly rubber boat from ToD did not harm the movie by itself.
The fridge was silly, but again, the flaws of the movie are much greater than just that. For starters: it began with gopher, then a lot of unused characters, and a silly uncomprehensive story that was too overly kiddie-friendly... (while I certainly as a kid enjoyed the melting faces and stuff from Raiders).
Most memorable was the introduction shot of Indy in Raiders... a bad a$$ mofo with a whip that steps out of the shadow into the light...
And only a little bit later on we learn he's also a bit of an anit-hero (his failed Tarzan swing and snake in the airplane).... CLASSIC!!
Out of thos two elements, we only got the latter in TAOS.
That fridge bit totally didnt work.
Indy is depicted throughout various scenes in the movie like he can barely stand cause he is frail with the ravages of age...yet he can also survive a massive impact then repeated impacts whilst sinning on all three axis that would pulverise trained/fit marine guys in their 20s...then going back to being frail and weak/laughing stock material.. wtf!
Another thing I've noticed that sucked about Indy 4 from watching the old ones is the fact that in the first 3 films, they used actual creepy critters and snakes. That shit was creepy! There's a primal fear that you get by looking at that. But when they used CGI ants in the new one, you totally don't care, because the mind can tell they aren't real.
