“The place are they now?” requested the now 80-year-old actor, coming off a bit stronger than supposed. “No. I imply, [the critics] have been harsh on it, however what are they doing now? I perceive. However these have been their guidelines — not [Spielberg and Lucas’] guidelines.”

What Ford is saying (in his personal signature, grumpy Harrison Ford means) is that the crucial response of “Crystal Cranium” would not part him one bit, and as an expert, it should not — the movie that he created with Spielberg and Lucas aligned with their imaginative and prescient. The followers, critics, and audiences who did not click on with the movie have been merely on the lookout for one thing totally different. As an artist, he would not really feel it’s his duty to impose on what folks take into consideration his work, and by extension, he believes that public consensus during the last movie wasn’t related to him when he determined to return to the character of Indiana Jones in “Dial of Future.” 

Ford elaborated, saying:

“They have been imposing their guidelines on what the film ought to be. I do not really feel it is necessary to handle these points. I feel that everybody has a proper to their opinion. The movie was not as profitable as we wished it to be, maybe. But it surely did not create an angle or a habits that carried over into this movie.”
