10 Ensemble Movie Casts Who Did AWESOME Work In Awful Movies

10. Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

With Indiana Jones set for a (hopefully) triumphant last hurrah later this year, many fans have chosen to treat The Dial of Destiny as the true follow-up to the iconic Last Crusade that landed on screens back in 1989.

And while it's not too difficult to understand why a lot of Indy lovers aren't in a rush to celebrate 2008's The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as a title worthy of sitting alongside the prior three pieces of immortal action joy, to class the entire project as a complete and utter failure is a little harsh.

The decision to go with inter-dimensional beings as the film's MacGuffin and visuals such as the titular whip-cracker surviving a nuclear explosion in a fridge were divisive to say the least. But the shifts put in by everyone from a Harrison Ford who could play a weary Jones in his sleep, to a Cate Blanchett having the time of her life as a villainous, scene-chewing Irina Spalko are enough of a reason to return to this particularly inconsistent adventure.

Throw in Ray Winstone, Karen Allen and the late, great John Hurt, all delivering the goods and you have an ensemble performance that likely would've been immortalised for all the right reasons with a stronger piece of text to work with and less dodgy CGI thrown into the mix.
