I was one of the people that was really excited about seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls when it was released back in May. I went and saw it on opening night and I honestly left a little disappointed. In terms of the original triolgy I would have said it and Temple of Doom were the best match. My favorite of the trilogy has to be the Lost Crusade followed extremely closely by Raiders of the Lost Ark and then a distant third is ToD. Crystal Skulls was just a mish mash of all sorts of things and while the story line was clear it was just so far out there and unlike the previous films that I left feeling like they were just using KotCS to set up another movie with a replacement for Harrison Ford to take over the role.

I was out at a site the other day and they posted a leaked copy of the original script proposed for Indiana Jones 4 before it was rewritten and turned into the medicore film that they ended up with. Here is a link to it the draft script: http://file.sunshinepress.org:54445/indiana-jones-4.pdf I’ve also got a copy locally if they ever remove it from there. This version is SOOOO much more in line with what I was expecting out of the film and if it would have been produced this way I think it would have rivaled even Lost Crusade but It appears they decided to change it and deprive the fans of the best possible story.

If you’ve seen the movie then take a bit of time to read the script and tell me which version you liked better.
