Indiana Jones Movies Ranked, All Five, Including ‘Dial of Destiny’

The Dial of Destiny, Harrison Ford’s final Indiana Jones movie, marked the end of the story. Let’s take a look back, though, before we put all five films in a museum. The Dr. Jones adventures are graded here, from worst to finest. It’s a franchise that contributed to the development of the summer blockbuster and showcased some of the best work by its creators, including George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford, who is probably most famous for playing the intrepid archaeologist.

Indiana Jones Movies Ranked

But given that we’re starting from the bottom, it only makes sense that we should first talk about The Kingdom of the Crystal Shull (2008) as it was ranked five. The fourth Indiana Jones film has a cold, off feeling to it thanks to Janusz Kaminski’s glossy cinematography, which makes outdoor sequences appear to be studio scenes. The portrayal of Tarzan swings and Indy’s kid Mutt (Shia LaBeouf) is subpar. The contest to determine the worst sequence sticks out the most. The MacGuffin is not the most crucial component, and Dr. Jones’ search for an extraterrestrial artifact results in a dramatic scene and some of the worst CGs in the franchise. It’s the only one of the five films that, taken as a whole, feels tedious.

The Dial of Destiny (2023) is ranked fourth on the list. Despite all the Cannes hoopla, Dial of Destiny falls short of expectations. Although it represents an improvement over Crystal Skull, it falls short of the first trilogy. The Temple of Doom (1984) is ranked third. There are instances in Temple of Doom that feel like they go beyond what these films are supposed to be (like the whipping sequence), and this criticism has come from a variety of sources, including Lucas and Spielberg. This helped lead to the PG-13 rating.

Indiana Jones

The Last Crusade (1989) is ranked second. Many Indy fans consider The Last Crusade to be their favorite of the series, and it’s understandable why. The movie is delightful and has the warmest and funniest writing in the series, written by Jeffrey Boam. The top spot on the list goes to Raiders of the Lost Ark. The closest thing to a flawless action movie that you can find is Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spielberg was on a mission to reestablish himself in Hollywood after 1941 crashed horribly, and it shows: Every scene is flawless, starting with the opening temple raid, which has become one of the most recognizable (and ridiculed) scenes in movie history.
