Part of the problem was that the best scene was the opening. After that nothing came close so you were high and dry for the rest of the film.
I did find myself very often while watching that this film was as good as if not better than TLC. Better villains for sure. But TLC had the Tank chase and nothing in DOD touches that scene imo , not even the beginning. I actually preferred the horse chase and buggy bike chase to the Boat scene and motorcycle/ plane chase in TLC. But TLC saved its best for last and that’s the way to do it if you are only going to have one remarkable action scene. Plus Henry Jones is better than Lady Jones. But it took the classic tank scene to squeak it out for me as the better Indy film. But I can see why people would like this better than TLC for sure and I won’t put up much of an argument. Take the tank scene out and that move is a 4/10 at best
Film need short round I don’t care what anyone says lol
I don’t think the filmmakers realize that people love Short Round now and that TOD is more well liked than it was. Hell I even love Willie Scott. I mean all anyone talked about after this years Oscar’s was that reunion between Indy and Shorty. They should have done one last reshoot.
