The movie really was that bad.
There first mistake was using ridiculous levels of CGI on a film series that had been mostly practical effects until that point.
The 5th Indiana Jones is pretty okay in the first half and imo only starts to break when it references Indi’s son to explain why he’s not in the movie. From that point on it’s a mixed bag.
Still, best practices is to act like there are only 3.
They could have just not had the monkeys. They added nothing to the story and were the most egregiously bad CGI.
Everyone keeps blaming the aliens but I didn’t that they were that bad a fit. But the movie was terrible and at that but where LeBouf started swinging through the trees I was ready to walk out.
The newer one’s not too bad though.
Personally i can’t get onboard with aliens when the rest of the series is cemented in the religious supernatural. The two genres are mutually exclusive in my head.
That said I do get that aliens are the pop culture thing in the timeframe where that film was set so the decision makes sense. Execution was just piss poor.

“Nuke the fridge” is up there with “Jump the shark”

Not at all. Jump the shark is a high point that the show is not expected to reach again.
Nuking the fridge is more of a final humiliation.

you think that the fonz jumping over a shark on his motorcycle was the High Point of Happy Days and that’s why they call it that? 😂

Jumping the shark is when the plot is lost and a ridiculous next move makes it apparent that the value is gone and the entity has become a joke of itself. That’s my interpretation. I did not google.
