And I misspoke before... I meant the leaked Indy 5 D23 trailer... which looked really good to me btw, except the phone camera footage looked too blurry to tell how good Harrison Ford's de-aging looked onscreen. And since the rumor is the story involves time travel I am assuming we will mostly be seeing a de-aged Harrison Ford throughout the movie.

But anyway... to me Temple of Doom is the only Indy movie that truly feels like an over the top fun 80's movie along the lines of Big Trouble in Little China and Goonies. I don't think there is a single point in Temple of Doom where it ever takes itself seriously... which is what I loved about it.

I consider Temple of Doom to be the weakest of three great movies. I think the only element it lacked was Indy's inability to deal with Academic life, and saw adventuring as an escape from something he was less well equipped to deal with. Also that duo life also had elements of a secret identity. Crystal Skull, the only thing I can say about that is that it no longer made Temple of Doom the weakest film.
