I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Indiana Jones 4 is a great entry of the series. It's just as slapstick and ridiculous fun as the rest of the series (I didn't enjoy the 5th one as much though).

And yea that is an unpopular opinion, can't tell you how many have disagreed with me as soon as I say that, both in real life and online.

Indiana Jones 4 starts to really fall apart on act 3, but the first two acts fit pretty well. I actually think the 5th is better than the 4th.

  • Raiders
  • Crusade
  • Doom
  • Dial
  • Skull

Is probably my order.

My order is:

  • Crusade
  • Skull
  • Raiders
  • Dial
  • Doom

Yea not really a fan of Doom... Too many boring underground scenes.

I agree with this ranking, but I'm actually tempted to put crusade and doom above raiders. IDK why, but I feel like raiders just has a few scenes I forget about just because they're so slow moving.

The Last Crusade über alles. Connery and Ford's chemistry is hilarious and touching.

AND the only suspension of disbelief visually is an old knight. It holds up so much better over time because the minimization of goofy affects the other movies have for their big bad.

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Not to mention when the goofy effects do start they look cool as shit. The visual effect in the "He chose... poorly," scene still holds up today.
