I like the first half of Crystal Skull reasonably well. The opening Area 51 scene is fun and mysterious, the chase on the college campus is shot magnificently, the scene where Indy and Mutt explore the tombs in Peru feels very in line with the series. After that though, the film nose dives off a cliff and doesn’t even feel like the same person was directing it anymore.

I don’t even think the aliens in Indy 4 were the problem. It was how ostentatiously they were presented, showing up at the end with a big dumb CGI alien after a final act already filled with over the top cheesy crap.

For me, it was over when Steven chose to use Janucz Kaminski as DP. If you look at all the other movies he's shot with SS, they all have that 'look' - which is great for something like Minority Report or War of the Worlds, even Saving Private Ryan, but that desarated hazy look feels completely out of place on an Indy film. Doug Slocombe's photography in the first 3 had an old-school almost technicolor pallete of high contrast and sharp colors. Doesn't matter that Kingdom was shot and edited on film if it's not lit right on the set. I love Kaminski's style in other movies, but he was just a wrong choice for Indy. I feel like if they had Dean Cundey or *gasp* Roger Deakins or some other more 'analog' looking DP, that movie would have been recieved SO much better, and even with the over-reliance on CGI, would still have felt more of a piece with the orig trig.

Actually, Phil Kaufman and George Lucas only worked on Raiders together in the mid to late 70s. They put it away when Phil went off to direct The Outlaw Josie Wales with Clint Eastwood (to which Clint fired him and directed it himself). Kaufman's involvement with Raiders ended there. George didn't work on it again until the late 70's when he got Spielberg involved, then Steven hired Kasden after reading Larry's Continental Divide script that Spielberg ended up producing. The three day story session where the Raiders script was hammered out is on line and consists of Lucas and Spielberg spit balling while Larry takes notes and tosses out the occasional idea (I suggest every true Indy fan read this transcript, it's amazing).

This may seem a little nit-picky, but the only criticism of this very well-made, well-researched video is that the 1953 War of the Worlds, while rather quaint to modern eyes, was very much a big-budget A-movie of its time. It won an Academy Award for Special Effects and was nominated for two more, Sound and Editing, and was one of the highest grossing films of that year.

Lucas has some good ideas and then he can come up with really stupid ideas. Amazing.

As a man who has grown up with Indiana Jones, I can say I enjoyed Crystal Skull, it does truly feel like an Indiana Jones movie looking back, I hope the new one can at least capture that element.

Great video!!!

I never understood how aliens is too much of a stretch but immortality, ripping someone’s heart out and them still living, and melting faces is okay and totally reasonable

Idk man, this is a universe where a box contains ethereal spirits, being able to live without your heart and a cup that heals and makes you old. Aliens definitely wasn’t a stretch.

I think the subconscious divide between mysticism and science fiction is the reason. It's like adding a UFO to a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Personally I liked the idea but the execution was horrible

Let's not forget surviving a skydive in only a thin inflatable raft. It's simply because the 7 year olds then became 30 year olds when Crystal Skull arrived. Same phenomenon as people loving a cartoon growing up but finding out it wasn't as good as they remembered as an adult.

@@gamestation2690 yeah that's a big part.

The big problem i had, was the pay off wasn't worth it at the end. With the alien saycer just taking off. I haven't watched it in a long time. I might have to rectify that.

As time has gone on I think I've warmed up to Crystal Skull more than when it came out. It's a 7/10 movie in a series with a 9/10 and two 10/10's so it feels a lot worse than it actually is. I think it's over reliance on cgi is my main criticism. I love how the dynamic Indy and Mutt have is really similar to the dynamic he has with his father in Last Crusade.

@@thegreatpiginthesky3904 what? The only similarities that I can think of between Raiders and Last Crusade are they fight nazi’s and the mcguffin is a Christian artifact. My problems with Temple of Doom are that they have Kate Capshaw constantly screaming and more importantly the culturally insensitive dinner scene. The movie is great and I love it but those things detract from the overall experience for me.

Interesting Ford's initial reply to Lucas about having aliens in Indy and how it needed to be kept in ancient artifacts. Unfortunately whatever the problems with story etc they messed about for far too long and imo he was too old to play Indy in 2007

Great video! And I am surprised at how many bad titles they came up with, I would think it would be easy to title an Indiana Jones adventure😅

"Indiana Jones and the Never-Ending Search for Profits..."

Though it will never be the same as the three original episodes, I happened to enjoy the fourth iteration. Apart from the ridiculous look of the aliens at the end and the not-so-good son character, (and ridiculous sword fighting, and ridiculous Tarzan-monkeys scene ) it had some of the maestria of the original trilogy...

Whilst I do like KotCS, I do think that it's not nearly on the level that the previous 3 films are, mainly because it doesn't do much to Indy's character we haven't already seen, hence it isn't much more than another adventure. I hope Indy 5 does give a fond farewell to the beloved legend.

I admit I wish the 'sword of Arthur' script was real...

I had a good laugh a couple weeks ago while I was playing Heavy Rain cause one of the scenes was straight out of 10:46 nuke the fridge scene.

The idea of Indiana Jones in a 50s Sci Fi b movie with a misleading start as a macguffin chase was good. The repeated failure to be confident in the premise and falling on tropes and jokes makes it a frustrating rewatch. Knowing Lucas was determined to shit the bed despite everyone saying it wasn't working makes everything snap into place.

In the future, yes.

Allegedly, nuking the fridge is an idea from early Back to the Future scripts, which Spielberg produced.

Yeah. Thanks a heap, George. We could have had several better movies if he wasn’t so stubborn.

I remember painting at school in '96 and reading an article in one of the newspapers covering the desk saying they were going to put Indy 4 into production 😂.

Somehow my brain accepts the nuke fridge but rejects the waterfalls

Loved the Lucasarts Indy Adventure games homage. :D

Lucas has thrown the story away. With its alien creatures and Russians. No, it really was a movie that went downhill fast.

Never seen your videos before and I wasn't sure I wanted to watch this based on the title of your channel! But this was a terrific overview of the long (long!) Indy development process. I knew a lot of the information here, forgot some of it and some of it was brand new to me. Very interesting stuff! I remember reading Sons of Darkness in the 90s. Pretty bad! My friends and I were certain it had to be a fake, just based on quality. But, not too long ago, I read both Saucermen from Mars and Columbus' Monkey King, which were written by seasoned pros and which were also dreadful, so maybe I should have cut those Sons of Darkness guys some slack! The true tragedy, of course, is that City of the Gods (which I also read) was pretty damn great and Lucas completely dropped the ball, foisting on us the awful KOTCS instead. What could have been! Anyway, delightful video, I look forward to checking out your other content! Cheers!

If only Lucas had left the Star Wars universe alone and concentrated on an Indiana Jones movie every couple of years about the many, many brilliant artifact possibilities 🥺

I’ve always thought the writers of the Uncharted game stories could’ve come up with an awesome script.

@@TheAmericanPrometheus Druckman and Straley I always felt were the better combo. Druckman is a wonderful story idea man, but his politics get lost in the execution, Amy Henings idea for UC4 to have an evil brother was scrapped due to the fact it’s been done before, also Amy’s script didn’t have a twist like chapter 15 going into 16 did.

So once again it confirms that the bit about George Lucas that IS actually genius is not his imagination or writing, but his talent to surround himself with really talented and extraordinary people that can reign in his stupid impulses and stubborn insistence on really shitty elements to be included... be it his wife saving A New Hope by editing it into a coherent movie from what George wanted to people like Spielberg or Kazdan putting a damper on his runaway tendencies ...
