Normally, I would let this go, but...I love Raiders so much more then any other film ever made, that I can't.? Temple of Doom is brilliant, though, and easily the second best of the Indy films.? Last Crusade is the most cynical and disappointing film ever made.? Pure misery from start to finish.
ToD is fun, fun fun!? Though the mine shaft chase takes way too long.? The truck chase in Raiders takes forever too, but I'll forgive it. SCatWoT plus ToD equals in education in brilliance!
