He jumped off a plane with James Corden and did it alone, and laughing his ass off the whole time. Tom must be Superman.

If Superman was a witting participant in a cult that separates families, sure.

I just saw this. If you come out thinking it’s just okay, you don’t really know shit about movies. I had high expectations for this from the start, and it surpassed all of them. I place it between Raiders and T2 in my top 3 action movies of all time.

Raiders and T2 are overrated

Also, sorry daft, but if T2 and Raiders are your top action movies of all time, you are either doing it wrong or need to see more action movies

Raiders is a great movie, but severely flawed. Every time I revisit it, I come away a little shocked by its reputation, because it has MAJOR pacing problems. A lot of that mid section is just dead. Temple and Crusade are both vastly superior; they really had the “formula” down perfectly with those.

Interesting. I feel the same way but about Crusade. I love it but I've always felt it was the weakest of the original three. At least we can agree Temple rocks! :D

Here’s a Raiders opinion nobody shares: I can’t stand Marion. I think she’s waaaaaay more annoying than Willie. I would have much rather seen Willie become Indy’s permanent love interest. It would have been cool to see her progress as a character.

Also, I am sad that Short Round never returned.

I can't agree with Marion in Raiders though she was beyond horrible in Crystal Skull and their kid Mutt was a travesty. Short Round is the best though. We really should have gotten two more Indy movies in the 90s with Short Round as Indy's adopted son.

Temple was always my favorite. And yes, i never cared much for Marion.
