Crystal Skull, for me, is really one of the most disappointing continuation of any series ever. It's even worse than the Star Wars prequels (and later on sequels), because those at least managed to set up interesting world building apart from being bad movies. It's no surprise that Lucas had a say in both of them.

Temple of Doom was nowhere near the quality of Raiders or Last Crusade, but it was still a good Indy movie. They should have never touched the franchise again after the trilogy. Harrison Ford is Indy. And Indy without his charisma & agility is just really plain…

I still think it's funny how now some people after watching new SW trilogy go "hell, prequels weren't that bad after all"
In a comparison to the Crystal Skulls, the SW prequels were much better. That doesn't make the prequels good.

In the SW series, the recent versions were not as good as the original trilogy but still better than the prequels.

I always liked Doom the most. But I was like 13 when I first watched them so perhaps the campiness of Doom appealed to me as it was perhaps Goonies-esque for me at the time..
