Overrated drivel, Temple was so much better...


No joke, other than the awesome opening, it’s such a slog to get through. It has a couple fun sequences otherwise, but Temple was great all the way through. Temple = Perfection. Raiders = Overrated.

I prefer Temple also. I definitely don't think Raiders is overrated though. I love all of the original trilogy.

Nope

Eh I could see an argument that Temple is more entertaining but Raiders is the better film for me. Both however are far better than the 3rd and 4th ones.

Are you TRYING to be obtuse, OP?

I preferred Temple until recently, but I chalk that up to age and exposure. It was always on HBO and I was a big fan of Ke Huy Quan after the Goonies. Currently, I'm a Last Crusade guy. Best cast, fun story, and it has the tightest script.

Temple was always the weakest for us kids growing up, favorite was Crusade, then Ark, then Temple in that order. Crusade has by far the best soundtrack of all 3 classics.

Also if you haven't checked out Fate of Atlantis for PC, do it, it's basically the real Indiana Jones 4.
