10 Terrible Movie Sequels That Prove Bigger Definitely Doesn't Mean Better
5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is still one of the internet's least favorite movies, and you can understand why fans remain incredibly skeptical about the prospect of an 80 year-old Harrison Ford donning the fedora once again should the fifth installment break from tradition and not get stuck in development hell to make the July 2022 release date.
There are so many problems with Crystal Skull that we could be here all day talking about it without even scratching the surface, but one of the major issues is that the visual effects and green-screens are frequently so distracting and poorly-rendered that it boggles the mind that the movie came armed with a budget of $185m.
To put things into perspective the entire original trilogy was made for a combined cost of $94m, and even if you adjust those budgets for inflation based on the dollar value in the year they were made, it still comes in at a little over $220m, which is probably what the fifth movie will end up setting Disney and Lucasfilm back.
If the studio are adamant on bringing Indiana Jones back to our screens, let's hope they've learned from their mistakes and we don't have to suffer through anything like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull again.
