Yeah agreed. Its not an accdent that directors like Nolan and Jackson are considered among the best of our day. They know that, whenever possible, real sets and shots need to be used.
The thing that ruins Revenge of the Sith for me more than any other factor is Darth Vaders NOOOOO at the end. And its not because the "No" is ridiculous, its that the character is all CGI. Why? Couldn't put a guy in a Vader costume? And in the same scene when theyre putting the mask on, Anakin's face is so clearly CGI. Why? Because he's burnt? Put some effing makeup on him.
I wonder how much of the CGI is added because of the director vs the movie studio wanting to get the movie out ASAP vs a crappy script.
I am sure a movie like Robocop or some of the early Star Trek movies they would be done in a snap if CGI was used, but I don't think it would have the same feel. Even when CGI is used to simulate something wrecked or dilapidated it still looks too "clean".
Been there, done that. My Dad took me to Raiders when I was 9. It's not worth $20 to go sit in an IMAX theater when I've seen it so many times since then.

I've seen Raiders so many times it's burned into my retinas like the Nazi logo is burned off the box by the Ark.
... It's worth it.

Seeing the digitised version on IMAX beats the hell out of staying home and watching it on TV. I saw the original when it was released and I will go to see it again for the big screen experience.
But I feel the Indiana Jones movies are sort of over-rated, and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull didn't have any more of a foolish premise than any of the other Indy movies, even though that's one of the major reasons that film's hated on.

I've actually always preferred the Last Crusade but that's probably because I was too young (or more accurately not born yet) to experience Raiders when it first came out. With 3 being my first exposure to the character it stuck with me.
Both 1 and 3 are non-stop action with somewhat silly premises but there is no way I'd ever compare them at all to Indy 4.
Personally as far as lighthearted but still riveting action/adventure movies go 1 and 3 are right up there in terms of all time best in that category.
4 on the other hand is one of the worst pieces of crap to ever grace the silver screen.
Last Crusade was my favourite growing up because it was the only one I saw in the theatre. Raiders has become my favourite over time. I love Temple of Doom too.
I would agree that 1 and 3 are flawless.....number two lost me when they were in the mine, and the track turned into the greatest roller coaster of all time.......
