Raiders will always be the best, and still after 20 years one of the best films of all time.  Temple of Doom was a letdown, because that film was caught in the melee of diseased films of the 82 - 85 years where Lucas, Spielberg and Co. thought that anything with annoying little children in the mix would be cute.  What a mistake!  E.T., Jedi, Temple of Doom, Goonies.. all suffered this fate.  I never saw E.T. (I refused to go see it when it came out because it sounded stupid, never saw goonies.. for the obvious reasons...)  I thought that era was over until Phantom Menace came out.  I had hoped that we had all grown up by this point.  Obviously not.  If they can stay away from the inane children formula of that era, a fourth IJ might have a chance.  Temple of Doom overall was not a bad picture, it just didnt need the children premise... Last Crusade did redeem the franchise but did not capture the intensity or emotion of Raiders..  I wish them luck.  And forget the makeup on Ford, keep him just the way he is, an older (50 - 60ish) Indiana Jones would be rather interesting end marker on this series....
