I also grew up on Toy Story and didn't ever actually watch the Indiana movies until last year so I feel like I missed the magic.

Indy 2 and 4 are just comically bad. Crystal Skull is so bad that folks don't even want to consider it part of the franchise.
Temple of Doom may not be bad as much as it's just such a product of the mid-80s. You don't need IMDB to know that movie was made somewhere within the 84-86 range. Everything about it just feels like a schlocky 80s movie. The color palate is wrong for an Indy movie and the female lead is just all teased hair and cheesy screams w/ bitchy interludes.
If someone told me that John Hughes directed it, I'd take it as an article of faith without even looking it up. "Yeah...that seems right."
It's kinda like Mission Impossible II. I dunno if that movie is truly as bad as I think it is or if it was just a product of its time. But like Temple of Doom, it's damn near unwatchable now (though I'm pretty sure I remember thinking MI:II sucked at the time).
