I consider it a bad movie because of how much it stands out against the previous 3 films. It just doesn't fit in from a filmmaking style even to story and action. They used too much green screen and CGI, and swinging with monkeys and surviving an atomic bomb in a refrigerator?? C'mon, that is hilarious, yes, but total crap compared to the great original films.
Y'know the only real disadvantage Crystal Skull had compared to the previous Indy Films was that it was made in the age of the Internet & social media.
Everyone got to ***** about the fridge scene being stupid.
But then again social media wasn't around to say how stupid it was to swing by a whip. Or how silly the coal car roller coaster scene was jumping over broken tracks & defying every law of gravity. Or surviving a plane crash & using an inflatable raft down a mountain side.

Why not just make another franchise that doesn't utilize Indiana Jones as a crutch?
Anyway, I see what you're saying but that's the thing about franchises. People want to see them continue. I don't NEED Indy to continue, I'm just saying if the show MUST go on, I'd like to think Chris Pratt has the chops to do it.

Crystal Skull was a bad movie.
Originally posted by Esau CairnWhy is that a bad thing?
Pratt would be entertaining to watch but he's also becoming very cliched in the roles he's choosing to play.Like Nicholson or Sam Jackson. They can only play themselves.

the worst thing about, KOTCS was not, Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford was the only reason anyone went to see the damn thing. I have to disagree with you, putting anyone other than Ford in the Role of Jones would not only turn me away from the franchise but encourage me to boycott it.
I agree.
This is, unless you properly introduce an heir to Jones legacy. Which i think the franchise deserves another shot at.
They tried with putting Shia in as his son. And that was a damn bad idea on so many levels. "Jones" was always a mix of (religion related) mysticism, academics (archeology, languages, codes) and adventure. KOTCS killed the first part of it already with the MacGuffin Lucas came up with. And the role of Shia killed the academics part. So the question is: Who wants to see the adventures of a gearhead wearing the hat of his father?
If they want to make another Jones movie, they'll probably need to move Indiana into the role that his father once had (more academical, yet more adventurous obviously) and give Jones' part to his "heir". One of his students that "stumbles" into an adventure would probably be a good idea. Shia...not so much.
