Guess I'm lucky, I didn't have blu-ray yet when KOTCS came out, so it's a totally fresh run for me. But like others, I'll hold on to my DVDs as well, just in case.
REALLY? I've always found Raiders to be the one film that was pretty much played straight. Temple is my least favorite of the 4, but as far as I'm concerned, its still head and shoulders above the vast majority of action adventure films made today.mattCR said:Wow all the hate for Temple of Doom, which I love. I've always found the most campy to be Raiders.. but I love them all.. I think they capture the 1930s action serial to a T, they just "work" as a way to play with the genre, it's like a modern, better budget 1930s "Tarzan" or "The Phantom Creeps/Captain Cody" type shorts.
I love them all, and it's a day and date for me.
Hmm. I always though Raiders had the most mustache-twirling level villainy and goofy ending But I love it, it's just not my favorite. Admittedly, "Last Crusade" is my favorite, which I found to be about the perfect mix of camp comedy/action adventure. I enjoy them all though. I see all the hate for Skull.. but Skull to me was a blast, a little bit too much on the camp comedy, but it was so in keeping with the direction of the 1930s serials (which all eventually went to "moon men" type episodic stuff") that I liked the vibe and laughed a good deal.

In the end, so do I. In my mind, the set has the best action movie ever made (Raiders), one really fun movie (Last Crusade) and two movies (Temple Of Doom and Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull) that, while flawed, still have their moments.mattCR said:I enjoy them all though.
Amen to that.Originally Posted by Jeff Robertson /t/318936/paramount-announces-indiana-jones-blu-ray-collection-fall-2012#post_3902279
I'll buy KOTCS again if 1-3 have no DNR.

No matter how many times I hear that music, it ALWAYS manages to get the adrenaline pumping.
It was replaced on the DVD editions, but reinserted back into the new restoration.cafink said:Wasn't there also a matte shot that was replaced? A shot of a jeep driving along a cliff, or something like that?
