Is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull really the worst Indiana Jones movie out there? We dive into the beloved franchise to see and make the argument that Temple of Doom is as bad—or worse—than Crystal Skull is.
Ever since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls came out 7 years ago, it’s gotten the (much deserved) reputation as an absolute atrocity and a desecration to the reputation of a much-loved franchise. The Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls has been commonly divorced from the original trilogy as a separate and inferior entity. Most fans lump the earlier trio into one group, praising them all as masterpieces, unlike the disastrous 2008 sequel. However, that may not be the whole truth. The second film, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was also a mess of a film with plenty of flaws, silly scenes, tonal problems, rip-off moments and bad characters.

Jada Pinkett Smith celebrates a big birthday on Sunday - she turns the big 4-0!
The Maryland native has been a Hollywood fixture since her marriage to actor/rapper Will Smith in 1997, but she is an accomplished actress, singer and all-round multi-talented star in her own right.
She has had leading roles in films like The Nutty Professor, Collateral, The Matrix Reloaded and Madagascar, and served double duty by starring and executive producing her TV medical series Hawthorne, until it was axed earlier this month after three seasons on air.
Pinkett Smith manages to juggle her own busy career with her responsibilities as a wife and mother of the couple's two children, Jaden, 13, and Willow, 10, who are also making their mark in music and film.
But the birthday girl is sure to be the centre of attention in the Smith household this weekend (17-18Sep11) as she celebrates the age milestone, and WENN would like to wish her Happy Birthday with 10 fascinating facts about the woman born Jada Koren Pinkett.
- She was named after her mother Adrienne's favourite soap opera actress, Jada Rowland.
- The actress met her husband Will Smith in 1990 after auditioning for a role as his onscreen girlfriend in TV comedy The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. She didn't get the role because at only five feet (1.52 metres) tall, she was considered too short - and it instead went to Nia Long.
- When she is not working in Hollywood, she is rocking out as the frontwoman of the band Wicked Wisdom, which she founded in 2002.
- Pinkett Smith became a close friend of rap icon Tupac Shakur after meeting him at the Baltimore School for the Arts, where they were both students.
- She was crowned Miss Maryland in a beauty pageant in 1988.
- She starred in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions as human rebel Niobe, a character written specifically for her by the Wachowski Brothers.
- She is a spokesmodel and one of several celebrity investors in beauty product brand Carol's Daughter.
- Pinkett Smith turned to her mother, a nurse, for advice while starring as Chief Nursing Officer Christina Hawthorne in the TV medical drama Hawthorne to ensure the hospital scenes were as realistic as possible.
- She tried her hand at clothing design in 1994 when she launched her own women's fashion label, Maja.
- The superstar couple is big on charity - in 2001, it established the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation, an organisation focusing on education and inner-city family welfare.
