Crusade was awesome because it got back to what Indy does...cool shit in the desert, in pursuit of an ancient (but well known) religious artifact, fight scenes and killing Nazi's. Though they calmed down the killing stuff in that one. Add in Sean Connery and shiiiiit...you have one of the best movies ever...
Temple was a departure, still Indy, but in a completely different context. He was not on the hunt for the Shankira stones, he literally fell into it...Then you had his screwable but annoying leading lady and the deathnell for most all movies...a kid side kick. Even with all that, I still loved Temple. I dunno. It's Indy.
****ing Crystal Skull was NOT Indy. It was a tired old man running around confused half the time. We all went in wanting it to be Indy, and instead we got a bunch of CGI shit and completely over the top fights and scenarios. Best fight in the whole thing was in the diner or whatever on the college campus.
Again, I have no confidence that they will not **** up another one. Hollywood has been screwing with my youth (Star Wars, Jurrasic Park, Ghostbusters, etc) for too long. They need to just knock that shit off.

...and yes, I will go and see this...
They know they have us by the balls.
Most of us will go drop a $20 bill on a Saturday afternoon to go watch Indy no matter how good or bad it is. [Reply]
The two-TAILED serpent thing is just a thing that was in the castle, not a prop.
However, interesting legend.

One tale says Mélusine herself was the daughter of the fairy Pressyne and King Elinas of Albany (now Scotland). Mélusine's mother leaves her husband, taking her daughters to the isle of Avalon after he breaks an oath never to look in at her and her daughter in their bath.
The same pattern appears in stories where Mélusine marries a nobleman only after he makes an oath to give her privacy in her bath; each time, she leaves the nobleman after he breaks that oath.
Shapeshifting and flight on wings away from oath-breaking husbands also figure in stories about Mélusine. According to Sabine Baring-Gould in Curious Tales of the Middle Ages, the pattern of the tale is similar to the Knight of the Swan legend which inspired the character "Lohengrin" in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival.[1]

The initial script draft for the third film in the franchise was called Indiana Jones and the Monkey King, and it opened with our titular hero facing off against a Scottish ghost named Baron Seamus Seagrove III while on vacation in Scotland.
