[Reed Rothchild | 9,592]

Only Indiana Jones that is not a 10 for me

Still ticks the Indiana Jones box for me tho. so not horrible in every way!!!!!

[TDIRunner | 2,779]

I haven't seen it.  I never will.

It's better than the star wars prequels, at least!

[Hammerfestus | 3,891]

It’s about as good as all the other 80s franchise cash ins?  4 here.

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,105]

It's nowhere near as good as the original three, but I don't think it's as bad as people say. 7/10.

[DoctorEncore | 3,691]

There are only three Indiana Jones movies. ONLY THREE.

[Jicsan | 591]

7/10 The weakest Indy movie.  It suffers from "what coulda/shoulda been" syndrome.  Everyone thought it could have been or should have been something other than what we got.  I didn't mind the alien stuff.  I wish the CGI would have been better on the chase sequence, and I would have dropped the terrible Tarzan swinging bit.  And OMG the internet would not shut up about "nuke the fridge".  I think that scene just broke everyone's brain and they just wouldn't let go of it.  But it's supposed to be fantastical, Indiana Jones is NOT a documentary, lol!

Beyond ridiculous. Come on.

I have only seen this movie once, but it is the worst one of the 4 movies. I was very excited to watch this movie and I did like that they stayed true to the others with just about the same sound effects and music as the others. Other than that, it was just ok. I will try watching it sometime again, but yea... not a good movie at all.

It would likely have been better received if it had not been part of the series.  It had pretty high expectations because of the earlier movies that it could not meet.  

And unlike the Star Wars franchise the Raiders series didn't have a large universe (as it were) to pull from.  Basically no Indiana Jones (with Harrison Ford) no series (or not much of one anyway).  

I was split between 3 and 4 - went with 4.

[Reed Rothchild | 9,592]

I gave it a 6.  Probably the same rough score I'd give most of the Star Wars prequels and sequels.

 

 

...except Rogue One, which kicks ass.

[DarkTone | 988]

Worst of the 4, but not horrible. 

[AstralSoul | 503]

Gave it a 5. Ill probably never watch it willingly again, it's not the worst movie ever made but it's by far the worst Indy movie. I might even have given it a 6 if they recasted Shia Labeouf with someone who I don't actually want to punch in the face.

4, watched once and hope to never watch again.

4. It was watchable. I would much rather watch The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
