Why do the Star Wars Prequels have legions of defenders, but Crystal Skull doesn't? George Lucas wrote it and made it about aliens.

Don’t know why honestly. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the second best one after Temple of Doom.
Austin Gomez
I oughta set this whole section of Any Forums on fire, just to be sure.
Evan Ortiz
All of the blue boards should be purged.
4channel was a mistake.
Jonathan Hill
Because very few zoomers saw Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Carter Carter
Aliens don’t really fit with the series otherwise supernatural themes.
Luis Evans
Because Crystal Skull sucked
Luke Nguyen
It is reported that after President Barack Obama watched a special screening of Crystal Skull, he privately spoke to George Lucas and said, ‘You don’t know how to make movies.’

What? It did 790 million.

> Raiders = Great
> Doom = Very Good
> Crusade = Great
> Skull = Very Good
Cons
> Shia swinging on vines.
> Fridge survival.
> Cate's death with her eyes bursting into flames was weak.
> Arguably too much CGI (never bothered me)
> Pushed Shia a little too much.
Pros
> Opening in Area 51 was solid.
> Shia was shockingly decent, note the scene with him getting emotional while visiting the asylum cell Oxley stayed in.
> I actually like them switching to a sci-fi mystery to change it up from the previous supernatural elements. Fits the 1950s time frame.
> Cate was the best villain of the series. Her speech to Indy about brainwashing America was great.
> Loved the moment with Indy completely baffled about the skull turning to Shia and saying "What is this thing?", Chilling.
> Good overall mystery

Because the prequels were something you knew were going to happen for decades. Even if you did not like them, by the sheer virtue of the way the film episodes were numbered, you knew there were going to be three more films eventually.
Crystal Skull isn't nearly as bad as people made it out to be, but unlike the prequel trilogy, Crystal Skull was just kind of unnecessary. Sure it's nice Indy got to marry Marion and have a kid, but we didn't need it. Last Crusade ended perfectly, Indy and company riding off heroically into the sunset. I still liked Crystal Skull's ending, but not anywhere near as much as Crusade's.

CGI. Awful fridge nuke scene. LaBeouf. CGI Tarzan scene. Stupid plot. The entire movie was one cringe thing after another

My biggest issue was the switch from Nazis to Soviets. I’m not a leftpol stalinist; it just doesn’t make sense. The nazis we’re obsessed with mystical esoterica and really did bankroll expeditions to find ancient magical artifacts and shit, whereas the soviets were too busy trying to technocratically increase grain production and kill monkeys by shooting them into space.

That's kind of why they went with aliens. It was a scientific endeavour. 'These aren't gods, they are enlightened peoples ruled by scientific knowledge'. I don't care for the use of aliens but using Soviets with aliens is very logical.
Caleb Ramirez
Ratline Nazis in Argentina and southern Brazil. But Indy has an ex-Nazi on his team who is working for the US (someone brought in under Operation Paperclip).

Question. Have you not played Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, about Indy racing against the Soviets to uncover the secrets of a race of interdimensional beings?
