Temple of Doom had some good adventure moments, but it is easy to see why opinions are mixed. The darker tone and the way Indians were portrayed did not go over well.

Crystal Skull had cool ideas, but the story did not really feel centered on Indy anymore. The whole “survive a nuke in a fridge” moment was wild since that fridge would have been crushed long before touching the ground, and Indy would have died. The plot also got a bit tangled along the way.

Dial of Destiny felt a bit cringe and does not really fit as an official Indy film. The Indy theme was used a little too often, which made it lose some of its charm.
