10 Fourth Movies That Ruined A Great Trilogy
2. Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
A fridge. A damn fridge.
Indiana Jones escaping a nuclear blast by hiding in the same thing you keep your cheese in is just one of the many reasons why 2008's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull sucks.
Let's get one thing out of the way - old people are great. They have great life experience, knit nice jumpers, and will always give you more pocket money than you deserve. But watching the suave, charming Dr. Jones bumble around the screen in his old age was not something film fans wanted to see.
65-year-old Harrison Ford was not in the right place to be playing Indy again and... wait, what's that? There's a new Indiana Jones film coming in 2023?! Dear God, no...
Chuck in Shia LeBoeuf as Indy's hapless son and a plot involving actual aliens, and this movie almost single-handedly undoes the great legacy left by the original trio.
The set pieces were nowhere near as memorable, the side characters were nowhere near as likeable, and instead of living vicariously through Indy, we just wanted to tuck him into bed with a nice warm cup of tea.
