yeah, i agree the last crusade was my favorite of all of them. i liked how linked the clues to the holy grail. and maybe that’s why i liked the last one how they linked the clues to find the lost city. hopefully, they’ll come up with a good story on what’s relative to another historical mystery. i wonder will they consider shia lebeuf to fill in for dr. jones later in the future?

Last Crusade is personally my favourite out of the lot, followed by Raiders and then Temple (which despite it’s gross mis-representation of my culture, was quite good in parts).

I think Last Crusade just had everything I loved about the series all in one film. The opening with River Pheonix, the traps/riddles near the end and of film, Sean Connery, it’s all good.

Yah, that did end pretty perfectly with them riding off into the sunset…

I think there can be many different interpretations of that ending, it was fairly ambiguous. That’s kinda why I felt it was the perfect ending to the trilogy, but of course one cannot beat a dead horse well enough it seems as they have to keep making sequels.

Or you have to keep drinking from it to stay alive, but the cup can’t leave so basically you can only live eternally within that temple. That was kind of the vibe I got from it, not sure, maybe I’ll watch it soon…

@ Haggislaw and Ken J,

True, they did drink from the cup of Christ, thus giving them eternal life. HOWEVER, the old knight warned them not to take the Cup past the Great Seal, for that’s the price of eternity. Elsa did cross the Seal with it, so they are no longer immortal.

@Haggislaw

I thought the same thing, both him and Indy drank from the Grail, I thought that gave you eternal life??

Spielberg close to locking down Connery for indy5? how do we know this ‘story’ is fact? ive said this a 1000 times and ill say it again. the best cinema ever in the history of the world would be “indiana jones and the hollow earth” , where Ford and Connery set out to find it only to find Hitler and his armies preparing another world tour. and the Hitler must be the same one(gordon brown)from all those youtube spoofs of the scene from ‘Downfall’ this type of spielberg indy movie would easily double the boxoffice of The dark knight/titanic.

Why would they do Indy 5 when Indy 4 stunk?

That’s an interesting theory. His dad could have been off on some excursion {Perhaps he went back to the valley of the kings} and it was ‘reported’ that he perished or was lost. That would lead Indy to ‘assume’ that his dad was gone (there’s a lot of assuming/misleads in this series) – That’s the only logical reason that Henry Sr. could return in a non-prequel movie.

What I think they should do is remake the 4th film completely! I read the Frank Darabont-written script for the 4th film (titled “Indiana Jones and the City of Gods”) online and it was superior to “Kingdom!” I think they went about it all wrong with Indy and the whole father/son thing. They literally just crammed it down our throats like we were being force-fed baby food…and I’m talking the gross baby food, like carrots or green beans, not the good stuff. I suppose the biggest thing (at least for me, anyway) was that I didn’t like Mutt from the moment he pulled up on that motorcycle, trying to imitate Marlon Brando. (That was another major problem with the film…they spent far too much time trying to remind everyone that this was the ’50s.)

I had actually been tinkering with a storyline that develops the father/son a bit better, if I do say so myself. We get to know the person better, and the truth is dropped in better. Plus, there’s no Marion in this one. In my version, Marion has passed away from something. Having studied up on a very interesting story, mine’s titled “Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Sphinx.” (I have recently discovered that their is a book in a series of Indiana Jones novels that bears the same name, although the storyline is quite different.)

I take my hat off to Spielberg for trying with Crystal Skull. But could easily state it’s his weakest film, which just happens to be an Indiana Jones picture. Sorry Steven. I read a comment which said something about locations… Bang on the money! If memory serves, after the bike in the University scene (which was awesome) I don’t recall any real location. It takes the edge off it, and you take a step back because you just don’t care. I could say more but I’ll only say this… Do it coz you really want to! Not just coz you’re getting paid. Don’t bring Connery back coz you think it will maintain audience figures, do it coz you think he genuinly has something to contribute to the story. I hope I’ve come off sounding constructive.

I want to point out to those who didn’t think Indy was “indy” enough in Last Crusade, watch the first half of that movie again. He was on top form then… and then his father came along and he did what all men do when suddenly in the presence of their parents… revert to children (revertigo). That’s what I loved about it, it gave Indy another facet to work on.

I love Connery and I’ve been a fan of Indy since 1985, but I have to say that bringing him back might be wrong. I’m sure they can write him back in somehow, like if Indy just *thought* he was dead (world wide communication wasn’t top notch in the 50′s). But still, I’m not sure I want him back as a main character. Maybe someone to take over for Marcus Brody and send Indy off on asignments, but not like in Last Crusade.

Last Crusade was indeed an entertaining movie, which I have enjoyed many times. But Indy, the character, was no longer the charming, bad ass guy he was in Raiders and Temple of Doom. That was what I liked about No. 4, Indy didn’t act all clumsy and stupid. He was real boss again.

I liked Crystal Skull a lot. I just found it slightly lacking at the end. And it would also have been better with more real locations, to get that good old feeling of realism, that the crew and actors have been traveling for real. You see natural human reactions to things like heat, rain, sun. Etc. Things you can’t recreate in a studio.

But other than that, I think they found a nice little formula they can build a couple of sequels of. I would be the first to see them. So I really hope they will start filming soon!

If it’s ANYTHING like the last one not even Connery can save it.
