I can't be your friend any longer.
Okay, that's a little harsh, but boy did I hate Temple of Doom. I only half-liked last Crusade, and continue to regard Raiders as the only film in that series I need to own. (Though I don't yet.)
I did like BTTF 3 a little more than the second chapter, but again, only feel the need to revisit the first and I can take or leave the rest.
Pirates 3 had better be better, you bet. Neither of the previous films has managed to engage me fully, by causing me to think or care about the characters after the credits have run. (One of my primary litmus tests on any movie is whether I give a damn an hour, a day or a week later. No go with this series. And no, I don't accept the excuse of "it's a popcorn movie." Many of my favorite movies are.) The first had the advantage of novelty and surprise, plus a funnier script. The second was a chore with a few good bits.
Egads, is it me or does Keira Knightley look like complete hell?! Get that girl to a hospital pronto!
