Wrong. There is one problem with Crystal Skull, and his name is George Lucas.
Fair enough.
But to be fair, that asshat's name is on three other Jones films that are pretty awesome.

GL and SS both suffered in the making of that guy. I'm totally fine giving GL the brunt of the blame. But they both dropped the ball.

Remember how the ending used to be "And then Indiana Jones became a goddamn immortal and rode off on a horse to kill Nazis probably?"
How did nobody ask themselves if maybe this fourth movie just wasn't all that necessary?

Yeah, but I think if that's a slippery slope because there are no movies that are necessary.

The drop out of the plane onto the snow looks great I can buy that. It's the fall off the cliff into the water that kills it. I rolled my eyes at that when I was 8.
