Raiders of the Lost Ark == Temple of Doom > The Last Crusade >>>>>> The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull even though I still enjoyed the Crystal Skull it just lacked something the original 3 had

Agreed.
It annoys me that people complain about Crystal Skull being "unrealistic" when Temple of Doom had (A) a man remaining alive by supernatural means after his heart was ripped out of his body, (B) a working voodoo doll, and (C) a woman hanging about a meter above lava and remaining alive and unscathed.

The main critisizm about the Crystal Skull is its veering from everything being religous in nature to all of a sudden "aliens"

People can bitch all they want about CG, whether something is realistic or not, whether someone should have died or ect.  The fact is the first 3 movies all felt like they were in the same realm of possibility story wise.  Then all of a sudden #4 jumps in and goes "boom aliens"  Kind of doesn't fit into the first 3's lore.

I don't see something different as being bad. The aliens thing fits the 50s era setting.

I can believe in aliens much more easily than I can believe in an ancient box full of ghosts, a working voodoo doll, or a chalice that makes you age a hundred years in two seconds.

No, Temple of Doom is a better movie. Willie was terrible, but it was overall a great film.

The opening scene is one of my favorite in all movies.

Raiders>Temple of Doom>Last Crusade> Crystal Skull.

I didn't get much out of the ending, all I saw in it was Indy getting embarrassingly owned by a fat Chinese gangster with Willie annd Short Round's irritating antics thrown in to sour the deal further.

I didn't think he was owned persay. I just found the whole scene to be entertaining. Also, once you let Willie and Short round fade to the back of your mind, the movie becomes much better.

Ah, that's my problem then; they never fade into the back of my mind, they lodge in my frontal lobe and torment me throughout the film. try as I might to ignore them, they're just too annoying.
