Every Jurassic Park Indiana Jones Movie Ranked By Metacritic

With the masterfully simplistic premise of an elite squad infiltrating a high-rise controlled by a drug kingpin, Gareth Evans kept the focus of The Raid solely on the action. There’s no exposition or unnecessary subplots, just an all-out war between cops and cro


Looking at every movie and its score on review aggregate site Metacritic, this list will hopefully give a newcomer to either franchise a better understanding of the movies and their sometimes complicated hist


**Raiders of the Lost Ark is a movie that has its own behind-the-scenes mythology as is. But going back to when you first got the script, what was your impression of it? It's very Lucas and Spielberg, but also unlike anything they'd done previously. What was your first thought


Adapted from William Goldman’s self-aware fantasy romance novel of the same name by Goldman himself, Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride is a brilliant satire of fairy tales, taking the stock characters that are usually confined to the background of these kinds of stories and putting them in the spotli


Antiquated gender roles were a topic unto themselves when discussing the movie and its generic, rehashed, structure, whilst satisfyingly tied into the movie's inherent theme of corporate cynicism, was too much nostalgia and not enough ingenuity for s


Cancers love the fantasy angle in this movie. As was already discussed, swashbuckling isn't enough. They have to be immortal warriors fighting against a shameless, ancient evil to keep Cancer interested. Just don't mention the sequ


The followup to franchise restarter Jurassic World in 2015, Fallen Kingdom from director J.A. Bayona was, as reflected by its score on Metacritic, one of the more polarizing entries into the franchi


Spielberg’s biopic of notorious con artist Frank Abagnale, Jr. opens with real footage from his appearance on the game show To Tell the Truth . Leonardo DiCaprio is inserted into the footage, but everyone else featured is from the actual show from 1977. Opening a movie in 4:3 aspect ratio with footage from a ‘70s game show was an unexpected and inspired move by Spielb


What, you didn't know there was a riveting 1930s period drama hiding under this classic adventure film? The famous Dr. Jones was uncovering ancient mysteries and fighting Nazis before it was cool, and immersion in this time period is what contributes to the status Raiders of the Lost Ark crafting guide Ark as a fan and critic favor


The latest Indiana Jones movie still remains one of the most controversial entries with fans despite being quite highly-rated by critics. There was an almost-20-year gap in between Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Last Crusade and, in that time, fan expectations had morphed into something similar to those seen amongst Star Wars f


Steven Spielberg has birthed a number of movie history's most well-liked accomplishments and, in terms of long-running franchises, is perhaps best known for the Jurassic Park franchise and the Indiana Jones franchise. Both modernized nostalgic adventure movie tropes and iconography to great success with audiences and produced some of the most memorable sequences in the history of cinema. But which of the movie series have fared better with crit

All of the Indiana Jones movies have an inventive opening shot that matches the Paramount logo. In Raiders of the Lost Ark , it’s a distant mountain shrouded by jungle mist. In Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , when things went off the rails, it’s a pile of dirt, complete with a computer-generated gop


Joe Johnston's threequel is the most forgotten movie of the Jurassic Park franchise for various reasons . For one thing, it's by far the shortest and least star-studded entry and the story adds virtually nothing to the formula that fans couldn't get from the other movies even at the t


There was a different kind of intensity. Because of 1941, the intensity was in the speed with which we had to make it. Steven has spoken about this quite a bit since, but it taught him that you didn't need to take all the time he was taking in making a movie before; that he could work fast without losing the quality. They had all sorts of clauses in their contract between each other, Steven and George, to make sure that Steven came in on time and under budget - which he did. It was a very fast shoot, in the sense that in Tunisia in the heat there, Steven would run between setups. The film crew was the same film crew that I'd been working with on Dogs of War immediately before in Belize, which was hot too - and humid heat. But in Tunisia, they were falling asleep at lunchtime in their food because Steven was just running them ragged. As soon as he said "Cut!" in one set, he would run across the sand to the next set and say, "Alright, I'm here! Next." He drove the thing like a steam eng


I'm afraid I might disappoint you. It's very much the same thing. Steven doesn't give any acting direction - that is, he doesn't talk about [it]. He expects you to have done your research; to have done the background stuff. He's not going to tell you what you should be thinking as a character at this point in time. What he will say while you're working is, "Look right, look left" because he's looking at what the visual looks like. It's the great thing about somebody who knows their job so well. Once somebody who knows their jobs so well makes a choice, then you just go with it. And that was always apparent with him. It would be breathtaking: you'd come on the set, expecting to do a scene which in the script is a small scene in a tent - a small scene between me and Anthony Higgins and Wolf Kahler, which was set in a tent. When I got to the set, it was an enormous valley. It was a construction site. People with donkeys and ladders carrying sand around, as though they were building the pyramids. And that was entirely Steven leading with his vis
