Despite the harsh criticism directed at IndianaJones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Harrison Ford explains that he didn't care about the hate and that everyone is entitled to an opinion. 'I think that everyone has a right to their opinion.'
With his return in a fifth film on the horizon, Harrison Ford reflects on the negative response to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. After starring in the original Indiana Jones trilogy from 1981 to 1989, Ford returned for a fourth installment in 2008, which saw his titular archeologist teaming up with his estranged son Mutt to search for a telepathic crystal skull.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent profile by The Hollywood Reporter, Ford looked ahead to his return in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and reflected on the negative response to Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Looking back, the veteran actor is unfazed by all the hate the last Indiana Jones movie received and did not let it carry over and affect the upcoming film.
"[The critics] were harsh on it, but what are they doing now? I understand. But those were their rules — not [director Steven Spielberg’s and co-writer George Lucas’] rules. They were imposing their rules on what the movie should be. I don’t feel it’s necessary to address those issues. I think that everyone has a right to their opinion. The film was not as successful as we wanted it to be, perhaps. But it didn’t create an attitude or a behavior that carried over into this film.
The critical consensus with the fourth Indiana Jones film seemed to be that, while the story was unoriginal, it largely delivered all the swashbuckling adventure expected from an Indiana Jones movie. There was some criticism regarding its dialogue, pacing, and shoddy CGI. However, it was audiences that judged the fourth film much more harshly, with a 53 percent Rotten rating on the aggregator site.
Ford also recalls that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was not as successful as he wanted it to be. It's unclear if he means commercially or in terms of quality, but the fourth film was a financial success, grossing north of $790 million worldwide to become the franchise's highest-grossing installment.
