OK, now i see what you meant. Mostly i agree with you. But nor completely cos *blushes* i love Temple of Doom. I know there's a lot to complain but i just love it - i love plane crash and elephants and 'eye-soup' and most of it i love to shudder every time when they put their hands to the holes in the walls and there are those ugly insects! I hate them esp millipedes and watched them crawling on charater's hands was like guilty pleasure :) Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. He just is. That's just holy truth. if the franchise continues *insert subtle shudder here*, Mutt will be Indy, the next generation. And that was exactly the reason i don't like Mutt. I hate it when they try to substitute characters we love in classic movies. I think if they want to creat something they have to creat something new for new generation and not use old school to emasculate it. Plus i din't see Shia as strong enough actor to be next Indy *shudders*. For comic relief - yes, he can be good, for more complex character? No. I've found that the movies based on Judeo-Christian artifacts just work better Agree. And i think that sort of artefacts are more believable hence the whole story is more believable. Too many call-backs to the original trilogy Agree again. Even the enemies and their costumes - if it worked with nazies cos they were at war and were on occupies territory it didn't work for russians (sorry, biased here) cos there's no point for them to be in 'original' uniforms in the middle of South America (if i remember it right).
