No, but Doom is better than both.
I thought this thread is about
the two

I think a better question is, why did they never make another Indy movie after The Last Crusade?
.No, but Doom is better than both.
On a serious note... Has anyone watched Raiders of the Lost Ark recently? Last week I showed it to some guys that had never seen it before on an 84" screen with surround sound.
One of them fell asleep about halfway. The other one just kept saying, "Oh, I know that scene!" over and over again.
I guess no one can take away the fact Raiders of the Lost Ark is a landmark movie that inspired countless others as well as video games. I mean, the fact that one of them acknowledged all the scenes from the movie speaks volumes about its cinematic and cultural legacy.
But nostalgia aside, has it held up? I think that's debatable, and perhaps The Last Crusade holds up better these days simply by virtue of being a more recent movie.

Good lord no.
- Terrible villain
- Weak MacGuffin (doesn't really do much)
- Nonsensical plot (Hitler wants to procure the Grail but doesn't actually want to use or keep it)
- Character betrayal (Sallah and Brody are reduced to comic relief idiots)
- Indy's entire persona is established in ten minutes worth of flashback
There's some good bits for sure, the cast is great and Spielberg is always on form, but The Last Crusade is the weakest of the Indiana Jones movies by far.
No, of course not. Raiders is the best action movie ever made. Crusade is a decent Saturday morning cartoon.

Oooh. This should be divisive. Good topic, OP.

Because you have one friend who was sleepy/has bad taste?
No, but Doom is better than both.
They're so evenly matched that it doesn't matter.
No, not even close.
The opening sequence where every quirk Indy has is explained in 10 minutes is the worst scene in the entire franchise.
