ORIGINAL: dannyfletch It's been too long a wait for this release and by the sounds of things I think it has been worth it. Crystal Skull is certainly the weakest of the bunch but I would still give it a watch on a rainy day. Raiders is without doubt the best of the bunch closely followed by Last Crusade. It'll be interesting to see the uncut version of Temple of Doom. You'll be amazed at just how much was cut. I got the Region 1 DVD boxset just so I could finally see the uncut version and was surprised at just how brutal Temple of Doom is. It's still the most underrated Indy flick. And the funniest. Especially whenever Kate Capshaw deflates The Ultimate Hero's ego. How the future Mrs S didn't become a huge star off the back of this has always amazed me - she shoulda been Meg Ryan before Meg Ryan. That nightclub punch-up is classic slapstick and I've always loved the incongruously bonkers Busby Berkley number at the start - I still think Spielberg'll make a musical some day! Heck, even the cute kid wasn't annoying. It used to be fashionable to diss Temple of Doom. Heck, even Spielberg got in on the act! But after a decade of disappointing Matrix and Pirates sequels, Temple of Doom looks like The Empire Strikes Back!
