i was watching this video on Star Wars, when the author gets off track and explains the Indiana Jones quadrilogy. He says they all follow the same formula, with the exception of Crystal Skull, which is one of the reason that film is panned.

Following the same formula is not the same as being the same movie. Most movies follow the same basic formula of exposition-climax-resolution. Within that there are further formulas to be had, and the movies that deviate from any established formula are very few indeed.

He didn't mean it literally. And he has a point. They're basically the same adventure in different settings.
