So OT, who do you think was the better of the two - Ford as Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark), or Cage as Ben Gates (National Treasure)?

Or is there a different actor on your mind?

I think Ford did the best portrayal.

Does anyone actually think Nicholas Cage's character is better than Indiana Jones?

Is this even a question? National Treasure was a bad movie to begin with, and comparing it to Indiana Jones makes it look even worse.

Man, I was trying to like... google this, hoping to jog my memories of some famous explorer films, and... guess what showed up as the first result.

[spoiler]  [/spoiler]

That's right, your thread is like the first in existence to ever wonder about this.
You're practically famous, yo. :P

Anyways, I'm voting Indiana Jones, cause Jones is a cool name.

The main difference between Indiana Jones and National Treasure is that Indiana Jones isn't yet another crappy live-action Disney movie.

I second the 'no'. First movie was ok'ish, but in the second one they went a little..... insane. I mean she overpowered a robot with her bare hands, and that was just in the first ten minutes. =|

He might mean the character Lara Croft, including the games and such. She is pretty bad ass in that way, but the films weren't very good Although Angelina Jolie was pretty hot in them both.

This isn't even a comparison. Harrison Ford is a 100 times better actor than Cage and also the movies that Ford are in are on a whole different level compared to that of movies like National Treasure. Don't get me wrong though, National Treasure is a decent film and I did enjoy watching it but there's no comparing it to Indiana Jones.

I thought this thread was about movies, yo.

If he's meaning the character, then sure. Her games can be fun and she has an accent.

if this surprises you, why would you even ask who is better. Unless you expected Cage to get more votes, which would be foolish. Not even comparable at all

I am offended that you even had to ask this question. Nicholas Cage is the worst type of terrible actor. It really is spectacular how bad he is at it. And it's never just enough for him to just be bad and ruin his part of the movie, he has to be so terrible at it that he ruins everything else as well.

If there really is a true 8th wonder of the world it is WHY on God's ****ing green Earth he keeps getting work. I already know the answer though. I'll give you a hint. Its because PEOPLE KEEP BUYING TICKETS.

If everyone would just be like me and boycott anything with his name on, in or around it he would calmly meander over into the shadows of easily ignorable network television ( on The WB because thats how bad he is ).

TLDR : Ford....obviously.

I disagree, he's been in some bad s*** before, but now and again he comes out in some really brilliant stuff. Lord of War for instance.

Nobody beats Harrison Ford in the explorer role though.

Harrison Ford by far, he is the top 8)
