Crystal Skull main problem is that it has a good first half, but when the characters arrive to the jungle the whole movie falls apart. Not to mention the bad CGI, less violence than the original trilogy and bad attempts at comedy. It could have been better, but I know some people who liked it, but it seems like this new movie will try to distance itself from that and if the leaks are true it will alienate fans of the original trilogy and even the few fans of the fourth one, kind like what happened with The Rise of Skywalker, a movie that pleased no one

“The Last Crusade” was it “4” could have worked if the Crystal Skulls were the actual ones instead of shaped like aliens…they could have been alien, but not odd shaped. Karen Allen was a nice nostalgic touch in the last one…why not tie that up? Shia LeBouf, who played his son in “4” has morphed into a very different actor since then, especially given his recent experience in the Padre Pio biopic; so he probably could have redeemed himself here and even had a smart pretty wife and a kid for Indy to be an awesome grandfather mentor for.

I am one of the weirdos that liked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull despite its shortcomings. Seeing Indie pick up the hat at the end with a smug smile on his lips made me feel like "Nah, you are not the next, Kiddo... Yet." It made me hope that we get maybe a father son type of deal going similar to Indie and his dad in the next movie. Maybe not with Shia but a different Actor. Hell maybe even Shia, who cares. The dude can act, he just needs good direction. It could have been such a natural way for things to flow since Crystal Skull already set up that Indie had a natural successor by simple Biology alone. But noooo instead they gotta make it a completely new character. Not even the perhaps in-law of the son. No some completely new god damn character.

It's like so many other franchises....the quality declines over time. Why not leave well enough alone? You can now cut and paste scenes from episode to episode with almost no compromise in continuity. I'll always love Karen Allen's lovely. fresh, and ingenuous character....one of the best memories of all the episodes.

According to reviews of the film, grief over the death of their son put a strain on Indy and Marion's relationship and they are separated at the start of the 1969 scenes. Indy is served divorce papers, but he still wears his wedding ring. I read a purported plot synopsis for the film that was posted online after the Cannes premiere. According to it, Indy and Marion reconcile at the end.

People being given jobs or leadership roles because of their sex or color of their skin never goes well. From Bud Light marketing director, to CEO of Lucas Films, to Vice President and countless others, it doesn't turn out well. They didn't earn it. They don't know what they're doing and they are out of touch with people who have had to earn their place in society and the world. They can't succeed because they've never had to.

Concur. The spousal unit even enjoyed Crystal Skull, which at least tried to treat the character with some respect and granted closure to the Marion/Indy relationship.
