Nwxt you'll be telling me that my fire is dying! Classic lines!
Okay, no more quoting until, at least, we get a RELEASE DATE!!!!

I'm gonna be ten years old all over again when these come out. I'll consider the 4th like a bonus, much like godfather III (lower case on purpose)

Mola Ram was awesome! Total evil bastard! I mean, the dude was able to pull hearts out of people, didn't mind killing his own men, enslaved children and starved an entire country. All I am saying is when the bad guy is so bad you don't mind watching him die three times, falling to his death (1) while smacking his head against the gourge wall (2) and then eaten by aligators (3), then that actor has achieved a certain greatness.

"Om Namha Shivaye, Om Namha Shivaye, Om Namha Shivaye..."

Temple Of Doom is the worst movie of the franchise (still fun but the worst of the four, the weakest). What is missing in it is a musical number with Mola Ram and the thuggees. It would have been so fun to see them sing and dance around in the mine in bollywood style :D

1, 3, 2, 4

My preferences of the series.

I will never understand the people who claim that Krystal Skull is BETTER than Temple of Doom. Baffling.

Both tried something different, but where Temple of Doom succeeded - Crystal Skull failed.

What baffles me is people who are baffled by other people who have an opinion that differs from their own. Baffling!

Just like I can't understand how someone can't see how Temple is just weaker in everyway, see how that work's? Welcome to my confusion ;)

Agreed. The tone and the feel of the movie is really off from the others. It just doesn't feel like part of the same franchise.

Though I will admit that the really big opening scene works with the rest of the series perfectly. So just shut the disc off after Indy escapes from Club Obi-Wan and gets on the plane... and then you have a perfect short film in keeping with the other films.

Temple is my 2nd favorite, almost equal to Raiders. For anyone arguing it breaks the "tone" - they didn't establish a campy, lighthearted comedy tone until Crusade. Raiders had a few comical moments, but then again so did Temple.

I guess you can say Empire is the worst Star Wars then, too, since it has a much darker tone that Episode IV... they really dropped the "Flash Gordon" antics of the original first film and went for something more powerful. If that's everyone's logic, then it should be applied in every sense, not just when it's convenient.

:thumbsup: Especially when it comes to leading lady. Willie Scott, who seems to speak in nothing but annoying screams.

Yeah kinda annoying like Jar Jar Binks. My opinion of course.

Kate Capshaw IS the TOD deal-killer. Just awful. Shes as annoying, or even worse than Mrs Witwicky in Transformers 2. Yeah, that bad. :D

Actually there's tons of campy lighthearted comedy in Raiders. That's part of the charm. Charm mostly absent in Temple.
The Empire Strikes Back didn't deviate from the tone in any significant way from A New Hope. Outside of the down ending.

Of course it didn't. Plain & simple:
Star Wars: Good guys 1, Bad guys 0
Empire: Bad guys 1, good guys 0

I guess RotJ was the "rubber match".

Except that it's much darker and serious, instead of whimsical and fun. The villians essentially win and leave the heroes scattered, frozen and handicapped. Yeah, that's not a shift in tone at all. :rolleyes:

Please.

I wanted to reply to this comment...then I saw the avatar picture ...;)

I can see that. Especially since Willie Scott is a leading lady and Mrs. Witwicky is just a supporting one.

Well they better get on it then. Ford, Lucas, and Spielberg ain't gettin any younger.

I think they should just let it go IMO. The Mutt character is about as interesting as a houseplant and I'd rather them not do the whole "younger hero and delicate old man" thing they did with Crusade. Not that Indy is delicate but by the time they get a movie like this going again itll be hard to imagine Indy kicking ass anymore. His fight with the Russian in KOTCS looked like it was slow-mo.

You love Jar Jar but hate Willie? I don't like Willie either but wow. Both are easily among two of the most annoying characters of all time. And that is a fairly universal claim.

Anyway stop stating you opinion as a fact, The Empire Strikes back is undeniably different in tone from its predecessor. I love how Retablo explains his position and you flatly say "No its not".
