3. Steven Spielberg - Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones 4: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a film that will never make sense to me at all. When it was announced that Spielberg, Ford, and Lucas were in talks to make a new Indiana Jones film together I was a very excited ten year old. Almost a decade later Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came to theaters starring a tired Harrison and that kid from Even Stevens. The entire work feels like something ran off an assembly line because it would make money, which is sad since the original trilogy was some of Spielberg's most profound work. Perhaps work is the wrong word to use in correlation with his movies. Cinematic art is a better term except that it doesn't apply to Crystal Skull. No, Indiana Jones 4 feels a lot more like "work." Even Spielberg admitted as much to Shia LaBeouf after the young actor made public comments about his distaste for the movie. Paraphrasing Spielberg's own words he told Shia, "There's a time to be a human being and have an opinion, and there's a time to sell cars." Wise words and great advice from the master himself, but he basically just called his film a car to be sold. A used car with a lot of miles.
