Re: Indiana Jones 5 (July 19th, 2019)
I think you all know I will agree with Wor, Jaws and Khev on this. Raiders: perfect. TOD: not as good but still fun. TLC: Horrible.
Even besides all the dumb jokes and lazy filmmaking, the effects looks really cheap and terrible, considering it was ’89, was a tentpole summer movie, and had the 2 top filmmakers of the time behind it. There was no excuse. TOD has some bad effects too. Raiders, the oldest movie, has the best effects that still look great today.
Now with KOTCS, I agree it’s silly, light weight, and does not hold a candle to the first 2. But I will still pick it over TLC any day. I simply can’t stomach LC. Even when it first came out, I was heartbroken at how bad it was.
