You've actually seen Raiders of the Lost Ark, right? Considered by many to be one of the best American movies ever? I think you'd be very hard pressed to find anyone who would say KOTCS could even jokingly be given the praise Raiders has received.

It can. And it does.

I wish I could feel the same way, but I think I genuinely hate KOTCS. I rewatch it every now and then to see if I can get the same enjoyment out of it that I get from any of the originals, but every time I watch it I hate it a little bit more as the dialog and action is just that much worse. After 25 years Raiders is still my favorite movie. KOTCS just feels completely hokey and sloppy, and they totally threw away any regard they had for the line that the originals walk between fantasy and reality.

The originals are hokey as hell as well.

Not really. Humor and hokey are two totally different things. The humor in KOTCS is forced so badly that it is hokey. The originals are much more subtle.
