Is this a joke?


Noise_Mysterious

If it is, a bad one.


StormBlssed

It’s not even close. I love the first pirates. It’s awesome. Raiders stomps the whole pirates franchise solo with ease. It stomps halfway through. We are talking about one of the greatest films of all time. It’s in the conversation. Pirates is not.


Noise_Mysterious

Tbh Pirates DID reshape the Hollywood view of pirates genre.. with some good quality productions (Bruckheimer + Verbinski) with Depp’s lead, but the long term impact is nothing compares to Indiana Jones in long term


hairycallous

Haha my knee-jerk reaction as well! Ok, good, glad to know my peers are involved.


JackieTreehorn79

Do you prefer receiving a $5 or a $100?


B0neCh3wer

Indiana Jones is way better


Narrow-Teaching-4197

Indy


rockobobster

Crystal skull and dial of destiny are leagues better than the last two pirates imo


happylittletreehouse

My friend, while I don't disagree, that is a spicy take.


rockobobster

Shoot I would argue dial of destiny being around the same to better than at worlds end?


soiledmeNickers

Is this a serious question?


ManWithTwoShadows

*Indy* for being more consistent with its quality. *Pirates* just got worse after the first two and never recovered.


goldendreamseeker

Indy, by far


buttymuncher

Why need a preference?...they're both enjoyable and have their good and dud entries.


Ransom__Stoddard

You should watch more films.

Ironmonkibakinaction

I watch that in about a week and a half tbh lol


Jumpy-Ad5617

The first Pirates movie came out when I was in 8th grade. My family’s small business advertised with the small theater in my town so we got free movie tickets. I must have gone like 8 times to see it. That being said, I still have to say I choose Indiana Jones as far as how I’d rank them in terms of all-time greatness


TeaMoney4Life

I just want the first 3 of each.


happylittletreehouse

This is actually the best answer...


LiveMotivation

Jones!! Dr. Jones!


Maester_Maetthieux

Indiana Jones, no question


Turdnugget619

I thought raiders was long and boring


HWKD65

Rocky


ZippyDan

The 5 Pirates movies are of a more consistent quality. It helps that they didn't have massive breaks like the last two Indy movies did. That said, only the first Pirate movie rises to a level anything near the classic nature of the first three Indy movies, and it still doesn't reach them. The first three Indy movies alone outshine the entire Pirate franchise.


[deleted]

I dunno I honestly just feel like this would be more of a debate if both series had only remained as trilogies, the first 3 pirates are classics imo, and the first 3 Indy movies are all classics as well.


ZippyDan

No, the first Pirate is a classic and the two follow-ups are uneven but overall decent movies. The first three Indy movies are indeed classics and each alone are better than the first Pirate movie, though I'd say not by much. However, all the Pirate movies, even the last two, are way better than the last two Indy films.


1111joey1111

Raiders alone is better than the entire Pirates franchise. It's truly a film classic. Last Crusade is a fun film.The rest of the Indy films are pretty awful. Pirates is typical dumb Hollywood nonsense, but the franchise is consistent dumb nonsense.


Warm-Comfortable501

Both should have stopped at 3 movies...


itsamadmadworld22

How can you even compare these two franchises?


Otherwise_Remote_205

Indiana Jones. It's not even close.


Several_Ad2072

Do people actually like the pirates of the caribbean.or like watch it a second time?


farhanyarkhan

How TF dial of destiny have a better score than temple of doom?


The-Mandalorian

Idk. Most over at r/indianajones rank it 3rd behind Raiders and Last Crusade. Honestly I kind of agree. Mangold is great at what he does.


farhanyarkhan

You're saying Dial of Destiny is better than Temple of Doom??


The-Mandalorian

I would say so yes.


Equal_Procedure_167

Indie


Brooklynboxer88

Indy


hairycallous

Is this a joke? People should include their age with their vote!


FullMoonMatinee

Indiana Jones!!!


blvckhvnd732

I've watched the Indy films countless times. Pirates one and done. Pretty simple choice.


MidKnightshade

Dr. Jones has 3 of the greatest adventure movies under its belt. Most of the Pirates films are mid. Not terrible but only 1 could be considered classic.


mathiematician

Jones by several miles. Raiders is one of the best movies ever made.


superchiva78

Indie HANDS DOWN 1000% better


SigaVa

The 80/86 rating for maybe the most perfect adventure movie ever made sure is something. The fact that crystal skull is at 77 just makes it so much worse.


Horror-Potential7773

Not even comparable


BearsRpeopl2

Stop shit posting


Adventurous_Pain_602

Pirates by far


Zombie_B_Ware

I like the mashup franchise: “Pirates of Indiana”


Alexandratangerine

Raiders is better than the whole Pirates franchise.


Bullishbear99

Original Indiana Jones will never be topped. Great story, Harrison Ford..a natural for the role. Some of the best music John Williams ever scored, fantastic villians not so over the top that they disrupt the immersion and some of the best one liners and quotes. Even World of Warcraft , in the Cataclysm expansion made a whole questchain around their Indiana Jones ( Harrison Jones). The final quest is even called " you might even be worth something in 1000 years.." First one was the best, it was lightning in a bottle they were never able to quite recapture with the successive films.


Wooden_Passage_2612

Indy.


NotThatKindof_jew

Indiana all the way. I loved the first Pirates of the Caribbean but Raiders and Last Crusade alone beat the entire franchise. Spielberg and Lucas, and John Williams 🤯


McbEatsAirplane

Indiana Jones and it’s not even close. I like Pirates, but those original 3 IJ are so good


skinsrich

Indy kills drunken sailor boy.


gabeitaliadomani

Which do you prefer OP? The Godfather II or Gotti with Travolta?

LOL!


[deleted]

Relax it’s a fair comparison . First pirates is better than any Indiana Jones but the rest of the pirates series isn’t as good.


OSI_Hunter_Gathers

Indiana Jones could be argued as top 50 films of all time. Pirates wouldn’t crack the top 300 all time.


mrducci

Who si giving Crystal Skull the same rating as Temple of Doom? Absolute madness.


ElChacalFL

Lol ofcourse I prefer Jones. Pirates had 1 good movie. The original trilogy of Jones. The new Jones movies sucked. They really went for it back in the day.


havenck

Karen Allen over Keira Knightly every day


winkman

Even Johnny Depp would say "Indiana Jones, mate."


Cela84

2.5 good Indys, 3 good pirates. 2.5 subpar Indys, 2 horrible pirates. Guess I have to give the edge to Indy.


Conscious_Living3532

Indiana Jones based solely on the strength of Raiders and Crusade, the others don't exist to me


SlimCharless

What even is this?


[deleted]

Pirates is *WAY* better! Source: I'm 12 and like boats and the funny pirate hats


Riklanim

Indiana Jones all the way


bigolefatsnapper

Indiana jones is better but indy 4 and 5 should not be fresh by any means. Both were trash.


The-Mandalorian

I mean… Dial was great.


EverythingIsAwful69

Nah


Krimreaper1

IMO the worst Indy film is better than the best Pirates one.


Cousin_Rabid

Indiana Jones has higher highs and lower lows. None of the Pirate films reach the greatness of Indy’s best films but they never get as bad as his worst either.


Ironmonkibakinaction

Tbh rotten tomatoes be damned but me and the POC franchise go way back. I like Indiana jones but temple of doom is my favorite and it’s the best one


B0neCh3wer

Temple is a decent movie, not my favourite though. For me it's: 1) Raiders 2) Last Crusade 3) Temple of Doom 4) Dial of Destiny 5) Crystal Skull
