The summer of 1989 was pretty crazy at the box office. Last Crusade broke the opening weekend record. A week or two later, Ghostbusters II broke it again, and then the following week, Batman shattered it.

Last Crusade was the weakest Indy movie until Crystal Skulls came out. Last Crusade is still a good movie, but it provides very little new to it's arsenal that the previous two films gave, so I can understand Siskel's criticism, even if I don't agree with it.

Giving a thumbs down to Last Crusade is insane. Sure you can definitely argue it is worse than Raiders and very similar, but it is almost as good as raiders and that makes it better than 95% of all other action movies. And it's really only similar to Raiders in the overarching plot, archaeologist is tasked by Americans to beat the Nazis to a ancient Judeo-Christian artifact that may be weaponized. All of the story beats and action set pieces and character dynamics and finale are radically different.
@doddsino2 жыл бұрын
While there are definitely elements that are different from Raiders, I'd still argue it's too similar to the first for me to really say it's almost as good as Raiders. Of the original three movies, it's probably my least favorite because of this, but also because it turns up the volume on whacky hijinks and dramatically tones down the violence and gore from the first two movies, despite Spielberg getting his precious PG-13 rating.

Just recently watch it and Siskel nails it. Pretty mediocre film where Spielberg and Williams(what a generic score) phone in their jobs; Indy isn’t really even Indy in it, only Ford playing him makes him Indy. The way he so easily falls for Elsa and feels betrayed by her is helpful for the plot but isn’t cynical, world weary, Indian Jones. Connery is the films saving grace which makes the film enjoyable. Raiders is an action adventure masterpiece, probably the greatest of all time, but this is far echo of it

Road House is one of those good "bad movies" which has reached cult status now. No doubt at the time it was seen as silly and way too over the top. But Siskel was off the mark on Crusade, and probably one of the worst reviews he's given.
