The Last Crusade was amazing don't be dissing on it
I watched the last crusade with my parents in the theater when it came out, it made a huge impression on me, and made me a life long fan.
Actually Harrison Ford was Spielberg's first choice, not Selleck... Lucas didn't want him because of Graffiti and Star Wars... when they couldn't get Selleck because of Magnum PI, Spielberg was able to convince Lucas.
Idk what this guy is talking about but the origional trilogy is amazing the only sequals that are bad are crystal skull and indy5 with crystal skull being tollerable and at times an okay movie
right?
learn to spell you plum
agree, Temple 'o Doom is my favorite of the sequels, Crusade is A grade and Dial makes Crystal Skull seem good.
Wanna know a secret? The original trilogy is not as great as your nostalgia is telling you
@@mojotheaverage In comparison to most modern films the greatness of the 70s-90s "classics" is beyond there nostalgia value. They are actually good re-watchable movies. I'll be seeing SW Orig and Pql Trilogies again at the cinema soon for some anniversary screenings. Am greatly looking forward to it.
Disney....Disney, let it go.
Next Indiana Jones Movie - Indiana Jones And The Search For The Colostomy Bag.
Or Indiana Jones and the search for better jokes.
106 year old Indiana Jones leads a group of rag tag geriatrics on thier quest to secure a pack of smokes.
Hijinks ensues as they make thier brave escape from the tyranical nursing home ran by the mysterious Dr. Viktor Mienkompfensoffen fighting off overworked orderlies , fentanyl crazed zombies and mutated rats on the mean streets of new york city.
once the you get to crystal skull Harrison is no longer playing Indiana he's being Harrison Ford pretending to dress like Indiana...the older he's got the more miserable he's become and he's made most of his characters the same instead of acting as the character
Well said 👏 every Harrison Ford character has now turned into your grumpy grandpa who just woke up
"I belong in a museum!"
Best summary of the Indiana Jones tragedy I've read.
I like the wedding at the end of IV, Ford was getting too old to really play the action-hero character by then, but I like the idea that Indy would have gotten a family in the end. But it should be only an epilogue to the series. Not something that ever needed to be filmed or anything, but because it exists I prefer to think that it is the only part of that movie that is actually part of the franchise, which otherwise has only those 3 first movies, and whatever happened to Indy between them and maybe to the end of WWII when he maybe mostly retired adventuring and then just taught in his university, perhaps still acting as a mentor to Short Round and some other younger guys who then did the adventuring part. That, to any other young adventurer he maybe dealt with except Short Round, the mysterious older guy who sometimes hinted at things he had once done while giving them advice.
I’m an Indian and we don’t eat bugs, snakes, monkey’s brain like the Indians do in temple of doom. And people don’t rip out hearts 😂😂😂
Well, maybe you should start! 😂
Maybe not anymore but India was a different place in 1935 that very much embraced mysticism and the occult, both of which grew to thier hight in the west as well.
And dont take eating those things as a slight. I live in Washington state and our baseball team serves fried crickets as an appetizer at the stadium. The French still eat slugs and bird nest soup was a delicacy all across Europe at that time. Dont get me started on blood soup or blood sausage.
I love TEMPLE of DOOM. !!! That's my favorite in the series
Me2
Loving your series. It's sad what happens to our beloved series.
The first three Indy films were iconic and very entertaining at the time. You don't look through the lens of critics, then or now, and the latest two don't exist.
Just discovered your channel today. I am astonished at your view and subs I think if you uploaded more frequently you'd blow up
Thanks for checking us out 🙏 we’re definitely aiming to get more consistent if not always frequent lol
The "Sharp Declines" are superb! Maybe there will be more in the near future ... like "Die Hard" or "Blade". Would be great!
Thanks much, we really appreciate it! We've got a list of future projects going but tbh I hadn't even thought about Die Hard. That's a great idea!
@@outsideintel Die Hard had a serious drop off. lol
Yeah, Die Hard would be a great one. That series took a huge dive.
Yes and no ... I would order 1
Your complaints on TLC sound really forced. Indy's relationship with his father was one of the greatest parts and I don't know a single person outside of you guys who don't like it.
Agree with the rest of your review though.
my opinion of the 4th film is that it is underrated and is a much better conclusion (also still had that magical wonder that I grew up watching on dvd of the OG trilogy) than Indie 5 cus Indie 5 for me was EXTREMELY DEPRESSING and not in a good way like LOGAN
A 4th Indy in the mid 90’s would have been perfect
Wait a minute, Temple of Doom is some sort of vaulted lcassic, over Last Crusade? WTF. I mean, I like the film, but this is the first time I'm hearing that. That film usually scores below the other two films for critics and fans. I feel that's a hot take and double checked RT and IMDB to make sure and yeah, I was right. Last Crusade is my personal favourite though, and seeing it slagged off here seemed kinda weird. But hell, everyone's entitles to their own opinion, I just find it odd trying to portray TOD as top teir IJ films while trying to lower LC, while the opposite was true for the fanbase and critics(on a whole-individual tastes may differ).
Last crusade does have multiple spelunking scenes in what is clearly a sandstone formation, so clearly the advisor was drunk that day.
Stop being mean to The Last Crusade! The first 3 are treasures, you pigs! I loved the video and your channel
I like Indie 3 a lot! Better than 2
Though I agree that 2 has it's great charm and blazes into new territory in a great way
Have now watched five of your videos in a row - really great writing, well thought out, and brilliant narration - you guys make a great team. I like the level of behind the scenes work that clearly goes into the script. You’ve got all the hallmarks and talent of an iconic channel and I wish it every success. Subscribed!
I thought exactly the same thing when I discovered their channel a couple of days ago. I thought wow this is great content and usually when you discover a channel there is a whole backlog of videos to watch when you are a late arrival to the party and the channels been around a while. I was shocked they only had a handful of videos over 5 years and the subs and views were so low. I do love the videos they make and they go with quality over quantity but you have to think if they uploaded more frequently they would have definitely took off by now. But I'm glad I found them and give all their videos a 10/10
Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad to have you on the channel and hope you enjoy what we got coming up 🙏
Yeah after the Lost vid, one of us moved to a different state for a few years and we didn’t get back to uploading until Dec 2021. But we definitely got a lot more coming your way, so stay tuned!
My favorite was the last Crusade! "Jump the Kubelwagon" yeah!
I thought it had the best music, I love the little prologue with River Phoenix, The locations were awesome, Sean Connery was awesome as Henry Jones Sr.
It had one of the best bad guys.
Raiders of the lost Ark eh ok. Absolutely hated the temple of doom except for the beginning in Shanghai.
The first 20 minutes of the clock of disciples or whatever it's called that was all right.
But I just loved the last Crusade so much I think I've seen it at least 200 times maybe more
His secret identity, I love it.😂
What’s with the hostility towards The Last Crusade? It’s a great movie and arguably my favorite of the originals and I thought this was a pretty popular opinion. Never heard disdain like this for that movie.
A Very good breakdown of the films, and also the small then current articles and such on Indy 5 (now we know history). I think you hit it very well and that for the bigger fans, and I am one of them, it ended with The Last Crusade.
I am curious if you will do an updated or revised version, now including the fullness of "Dial of Not Destiny" and it's effects on the franschise as a whole, taking into concideration, the movie and everything is out.
Very much appreciated!! 🙌 We give our thoughts and live reactions to Dial of Destiny in our wrap-up video of you want to check that out.
@@outsideintel Thank You.. :-) I look forwards to that!
Very interesting, very funny, very informative. But this video needs updating now that _Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny_ has been released.
Much appreciated! If you want to check out our thoughts on Dial of Destiny, we talk about it at length in our wrap-up video
I wont a bad word about Last Crusade. It was the first one I saw.
I thought 'Red Dawn' was the first PG-13 movie
It waa.
Very good essay, man.
Great video guys. Keep up the great work
Thanks for checkin out the channel! 🙏
The video essay space has become over saturated, but you guys are a cut above and bring interesting information to each video, which is what I want from a video essay. a lot of videos now feel like Wikipedia read through. I appreciate the quality of all your vids so far.
Very much appreciated! 🙏 we got more stuff coming soon we hope you enjoy
...just stumbled on your channel, glad i did...very entertaining...
Very happy to have you here! 🙌
This is one of the first Sharp Decline videos that I most definitely disagree with. At least part of it. Of the first 3 movies, which is as far as I choose to watch them, gladly assuming there are no other sequels after the 3rd one. But of the first 3, The Last Crusade is easily my favorite. Not once did I ever think...."Oh, this is just the 1st movie re-done. How boring." Yes, the overall feel of the movie is similar to the 1st movie....But why is that a bad thing? The first movie was awesome. And its not as if they did this in back to back movies. The second one, The Temple of Doom, was also good, and it has some of the best parts of the whole series. But overall, I think its the weakest of the 1st 3. But then going back to what made the original so good, the Last Crusade, was a welcome return to what we loved. Yet the video here tends to take a more negative view of the movie. I thought the young Indiana part, played by the late River Phoenix, was very well done. And the dynamic between Indiana and his father is excellent. Sean Connery knocked it out of the park. Anyways, that's just my opinion of the matter.
The makers seem to have it in for the movie with a very cynical take. Raiders is on paper the most well made, ToD had some interesting ideas and excellent set pieces. But TLC is definitely the most cathartic/fun of the 3. Sean Connerys anti-James Bond is excellently done here, their relationship great, and the plot is a great romp.
I agree with everything you said. However, the 5th installment is tolerable, if you think of it like fan fiction. In that case, it's decent fan fiction. I kinda enjoyed it, but not in comparison to the ONLY 3 REAL Indiana Jones movies.
Above all though, #3 is by far the best (and last) one, and anyone who says different has clearly suffered severe head trauma.
I approve this message ...
Last Crusade was poorly written. Cringe dialogue like "pen mightier than the sword". The opening was great then just not good. The second was b-movie bad. The first rightfully got an Oscar nomination for best film back when it meant something. The 4th movie was embarrassing. The fifth... well that's the second best in the franchise despite not having a great action sequence.
@laartwork WHAT?!?!?!!?? Naw man. The 1st three are classics where 4 & 5 are putrid sewer water.
So glad I skipped Crystal bullshit
Harsh review of Crusade, while not as good as Raiders, I don't think they could ever top it, no matter the script, I think the Son/Dad aspects of it was one of the highlights and Connery/Ford chemistry was excellent, in all scenes
Dial of Destiny was SO bad in made Kingdom of the Crystal Skull seem GOOD by comparison.
Spielberg actually made a perfectly decent Indiana Jones movie.
The only issue was that it was a Tintin movie, not an Indiana Jones movie.
We need to find tha headpiece of the staff of Ra, to figure out how long to make the staff, then take it to the secret map room nobody knows about, at an unspecified but very specific time of day, to the sun shows us the location of the ark...which is in the ONE large temple-looking building, right in the center of the town.
The first 3 are equally great, in my opinion. After 3 is when the quality falls of a cliff. (pun intended)
Indy 5 is amazing!
The series,for me,is a trilogy. Raiders,Temple of Doom and Last crusade. That's it. Everything else after doesn't exist.
Well atleast Spielberg and Lucas did understood it was time to stop after Kingdom of the Chrystal Skull. Disney didn't, and never would.
PS. Ford warned them, there's no Indiana Jones without Harrison Ford. They still didn't get it.
Ilse must have some damn good kitty for our boy to be that upset...
24:00 this one is by max mccoy. not jk rowling
This is better than the Ghostbusters Decline, but there is much less of a decline to complain about. I like all 5 but rate them 3, 1, 5, 2, 4. Thought the last scene of 5 was the perfect ending to the series. I am afraid to watch a Star Wars Decline, ouch.
I like the first three. Pacing sets and acting are top tear. Crash and burn after that
I'm thirty seconds in and this person is saying Last Crusade represents a slump in quality. Last Crusade is, by far, the best movie in the franchise. It is Spielberg at the height of his powers, just a few years out from the one-two punch of Jurassic Park and Schindler's List. It is a last farewell to the Bugs Bunny, Buster Keaton Spielberg, as he transitions to telling stories that primarily prioritise relationships and character development amidst the spectacle. As a result, we get a movie that is absolutely sublime, in which Indy has never been more well rounded and human. We get to enjoy an iconic, well developed dynamic between Ford and Sean Connery, and an absolutely glorious final act and sendoff to Indy, not to mention arguably the best straight action scene of Spielberg's career in the tank chase. Anyone who says the movie represents a decline for the series is someone whose film analysis I have no interest in taking seriously. It is a giant of a movie. I've watched a few of these "Sharp Decline" things so far, and they have two things in common:
1. The franchises in question all deserve to be critiqued in this fashion, and in this the series meets a need, which is why I think they appear to be doing well.
2. The film analysis is disappointingly shallow.
The first two were good, rest were cash grabs
Thats a bit weird... I just watched crystal skulls last night. It's not like I'm a fan. Im a programmer (lol, not a "fan"...sorry), so I generally have something random in the background. Last night it was that film. Tonight, Im programming again but was watching your Sharp Decline of Predator video. This video then came on after it. So weird. Anywho.. back to programming :)
At least Temple tried something different.
Why not include DofD, which like Prey from Predator was not as bad as the 4th Entry
yeah this one was a rough decline. hurt us all.
The 1st 3 are pure cinema classics. I won't watch or acknowledge the atrocities that came after. I don't see Crusade as a rehash of the original at all.
That was a mistake to put Shaya le Beouf in Crystall skull. Its an Indy movie. Not Indy son movie, or Indy sidekick. Indy is old, well play on it. Let him be old!!! Make it work!!
The first 3 movies are classics and it is what we wanted to see at the time, the 4th movie is average at best but the Dial of dysentery is a terrible movie. The character of Indiana has been stripped away in Disney fashion and the woman who is supposed to be his sidekick is totally annoying and unbelievable.
23:42 lol
Temple of Doom was crap. Then the 4th and 5th movies came out :(
Mannnnnnn. Kate capshaw is so damn fine in that movie it’s not even funny
This video had potential but to fill it with a detailed recap of almost a scene by scene description was too much time wasted dreck.
And the background music was nails on a chalkboard.
Damn I went on a Google Serach about JK Rowling writing Indiana Jones and the Philosopher's Stone just to realize it's a joke.
Switched of when you through out the 1930s racism!!
The movie was made in the 1980s.
That turned your whole review into a woke propaganda mess and l decided, better to find something else to watch instead of watching woke rubbish.
6:46 What racism?
Funny how spielberg conveniently also hates everything all the fans hated. "oh I never liked the aliens" "oh I hated temple of doom". At some point dude you need to take accountability for what you made. If you thought it was so bad that doesn't alleviate you of responsibility, if anything it makes it even more reprehensible that you still put it out like that anyway. The reality is if everyone loved temple of doom he would be telling everyone he always loved it.
Why would any hate Temple of Doom? That was a great movie.
Why are you people who always take the piss about films ??? It’s a film entertainment 🙄
Elsa was Austrian not German.
You do realize that Austrians are German, right? They certainly thought that way in 1938, at least.
what? you guys are way off
Last Crusade is miles better than Raiders.
At the 18 minute mark I stopped watching this video. If you’re not going to review the movie properly guys, don’t bother at all.
"Properly"?
@@outsideintel Yeah. Yeah sorry it’s a bit harsh your reviews are excellent, just my own bias showing through and the fact that I’ve never been a Raiders person.
That whole begining sequence of Last Crusade was such a waste of time. Should have been cut from movie and start where you first see Indy.
The rest of it is good though...
Why? That flashback scene is what informs the entire rest of the movie, the entire trilogy arguably. THAT sequence is what starts Indy on his journey throughout all of these films. To not put that in would've f*cked up the entire story.
@@occam7382 what??
Nope. Its not even connected to the story. And has absolutely nothing to do with anything in the actual story. It very stupidly shows how he got hes hat. Wich has to do what with the story?!
Revealing character personal things is the same as killing them. There is just that much questions you can answer about a person. It means movie creator wanted to get rid of the character. Not create more movies. It would have been a better movie without that begining. We wouldnt know about the hat. Because it doesnt matter. The frekin adventure for the cup was the point. And the character would keep his charm of who he is, when the situations get tough.
Matrix does the same thing. Movies 2 and 3, instead of telling and actual story, they try to answer all the question about that world, and with that they killed all the fun they could have had with it.
I think the best matrix movie would be about before they meet Neo. When agents are scary, people actualy die. When there is a lot of mystery about what and why!! Thats where there is good grounds for shat to happen!
When all the questions are answered, all the doors open. Is when you kill your story.
@@gundarsmiks4889, that's completely wrong. That sequence is very connected to the rest of the story. It shows who Indy was as a person, how he started out as this bright-eyed, moral kid who's willing to go up against a bunch of gangsters to do the right thing. It shows Indy's strained relationship with his father; and it shows how Indy gets completely burned by the end and comes away from the experience learning that doing the right thing is for suckers, and you should only look out for yourself. That's why the next time we see Indy (chronologically speaking) he's trading a priceless artifact with a Chinese gangster and holding a woman hostage to get what he wants. Ultimately, the various quests and Macguffins Indy goes on/after in these movies aren't the point: it's his journey that's important.
@@occam7382 no sory. It means zero to the story!! The story IS NOT ABOUT INDY!!!
Indy is just a character. Indy is NOT A STORY!!!
If you remove the beginning of that child in the beginning. Wich is like a completely different person. No one stays the same for goddamn 20 years. It changes nothing to the story. Its a waste of time. It tickles your love for Indy. Not the story.
Story is about the cup of christ or whatever. And how they get to it. And its grown men doing it. It has nothing to do with any child anywhere.
I suppose youre an americam aswell. You cannot sepparate what is a story, and what is a character. And that its not the same!!!
And even if you show why the character "supposedly" is affraid of snakes. It still has nothing to do with the story. I think it ruins the movie. Because it blatantly shows something that is just better never shown. Thats what i think.
And i have been learning story telling for some time aswell... Its not connecetd. Why?! Because it would change zero if removed. The film would be even bettet if you would remove that beginning. The story wouldnt lose anything. We already know who Indy is from previous movies. We saw what hes capable of. It doesnt matter if you show someone childhood. Whatever in it. It just doesnt add to the story.
Its the same when someone dies a stupid way. And the story tellers start by telling that persons childhood. Its not frekin connected to the event. Tell the story. How he died!! Thats the story!!! Whoever that person was as a child adds NOTHING!
Its like an emotional thing! But its realy not connected to the frekin story at all!!!
Nah, based purely in other videos of yours. You are bitching for bitching’s sake. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was an obvious money grab, and it justly suffered the consequences, and the fifth one was a woke hit piece that got its due bombing at the box office. But the original trilogy is perfect as it is.
Not every sequel is a decline in quality from the original, which seems to be this channel’s sole reason to exist.
Speak fast and have the most monotonous backing music that is too high in the mix. - This video
Nostalgia doesnt mean the stuff from your past is any GOOD, just that it was good to a younger/dumber you. IMO this entire franchise was crap and has only gotten worse.
highly Disagree ? Indiana Jones all Films are awesome i love them,, click belt video
You didn’t just make young Harrison look gay in your thumbnail pic, you made him look SUPER, DOOPER GAY 🌈 😂
.
Ugh, I can't believe they'd put that racist remark in the movie about Arabs who are so well known for their upmost civility.
“I’m a Nazi, but not that kind of Nazi”
Woke Disney kills everything it touches.
I've never heard anyone shit talk the Last Crusade as egregiously as you guys have, needless to say its one of the worst takes I've ever heard lol.
So sick of the TH-cam whine.
why is that racist?
How is the term arab racist? says more to be offended by it than it being offensive.
The term wasn’t the racist part. It’s the depiction of Arabs as barbarous (not caring if two people shoot each other in a public cafe), which is very typical of the 1930’s adventure stories and serials that inspired the Indiana Jones movies.
@@outsideintel The situation could be played out anywhere, it was basically a bad part of town bar scene. The people in question were working for the Nazis, Indy is unaware of this and gives them the benefit of the doubt by saying they will be indifferent to two foreigners fighting. Which would absolutely be the case, plus it very much seemed to be a mind your business establishment. Indy is saved by children which is what Spielberg and Lucas uses through Salah's street smarts and local knowledge to diffuse a volatile situation which causes the Nazis sympathizers to lower their weapons and start laughing. It also humanises these Nazis hired guns. The script wasn't far off the support that the Nazis had in parts of the arab world. They were big fans of a lot of Hitlers policies concerning a certain people. I think the virtue signalling is unnecessary and incorrect
@@wellfit1511the copium is strong with this one
@@outsideintel is that your default, insult? Can't you argue your point?
Did you known that the average age of the Indiana Jones fans is forty five? Even Nathan Drake and Lara Croft are more popular than Indiana Jones, even that he began the genre, millenials and zoomers really not care about Indiana Jones, James Bond or even Ethan Hunt, they are out touch characters that really not coincide with modern sensibilities, like promoting the MI6 and the CIA, hell, Jason Bourne continue to have more relevance this days than James Bond and Ethan Hunt.
How exactly is Indiana Jones an "out touch character"? His story is that of a man who goes from being a jaded, selfish, thieving, somewhat despicable character into a true hero who does what he does because it's the right thing. I'd say he's actually more important than ever.
@@occam7382 Funny, because Spielberg wanted that Jones be a James Bond type of character, but Lucas convince him not do that, and he is outdated, because the demography of most of his fans are over forty, and his movies are always the same, fighting NAZI or Soviets, meanwhile Nathan Drake and Lara Croft fight pirates and mercenaries, and they are very morally ambiguous characters, Jones may justified his actions to raid tombs because they "belong to a museum". But now at days you should ask. What museum? For example the Egyptians are still demanding to the British to give them all the artefacts that they stole, at least with Drake and Croft you known that their actions are illegal, they are doing more for personal glory than anything else.
@@TheKeyser94, except that's exactly what Indy was doing. When we see him in Temple of Doom, he is doing the things he's doing for personal reasons; as he says to Short Round, "Fortune and glory." His arc over the course of the trilogy is growing out of that mindset.
Short Round - the most annoying kid in movies since Shirley Temple !
Don't you DARE diss Short Round!
Not sure why people are so flabbergasted at aliens being the new Grail. It's no more or less ridiculous than all the McGuffins before it 🙄
is this guy trying to say Last Crusade was bad?
