New Indiana Jones Will Be an "Old Fashioned" Film

[bad rider]

Wow, could they possibly redeem the fourth one?

They'd have to try pretty damn hard. Atleast the baby steps sound promising. Shia earned big plus points for admitting that. He has a lot of work to do.

I won't watch it. My childhood has been damaged enough already.

It can't suck any more than the last one did. Either that or I'll watch it to see it sink that expectation. Either way I'd watch it.

I always thought Harrison Ford's reluctance to revisit his career-making franchises was his effort to save us [rabid fans] from ourselves.

Turns out, he was just saving some easy money for his retirement.

 

[Baby Tea]

I mean, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It wasn't nearly as bad as folk made it out to be.

Why is this so hard to believe?

Because people either can't see past nostalgia, or never truly 'got' what Indiana Jones was about: A tribute to the campy, over-the-top 1920s adventure comics with the all-American rugged hero. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fits perfectly into that mold. People love the Ark causing heads to explode, but decry the nuked fridge. People love the guy ripping out a man's heart (and the man still being alive) and voodoo dolls, but scream about inter-dimensional beings.

I'll admit that Indy 4 wasn't as good number 1 or 3, but I'd put it on par with number 2.
And I can't wait for number 5!

 

[LavaLampBamboo]

Let's just stay positive... I didn't think Indy 4 was TOO bad, but maybe the fifth one will be better. FINGERS CROSSED!

 

[Billion Backs]

I have to agree with Baby Tea, for once.

As far as unrealistic things go, there's nothing special about the 4th movie compared to the original trilogy.

Aliens are still more probable then "working" voodoo dolls, ripping people's hearts out, and I'm not even going to mention a fuckload of working relics artifacts from multiple religions - there were all the Christian things, the obviously-not-Christian magic stones from Asia, and so on.

You really got no ground trying to criticize the new Indiana Jones over it's campiness, (lack of) realism, or even plot. Acting, maybe, but I don't remember it being that much worse then the original trilogy in that department.

 

[Jared]

Im glad to see they are going back to the roots, not trying to modernise it.

Question now if they can pull it off, as with all what is available these days

 

[Tipsy Giant]

It doesn't matter how good it is, we've had 3 (4 or if you dare) movies now, NEW IDEA PLEASE!

Lucas you have had two good movie ideas and stretched them into 10 films.
Think of a new one, you can't be out of ideas after 2!

 

[Plurralbles]

I dont' want a fifth movie. I'd rather it just end on a sour note, not drug through the muck.

 

[Irridium]

All 4 films!

Haha, good one.

I enjoyed Kingdom of The Crystal Coconu-

I mean, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It wasn't nearly as bad as folk made it out to be.

Why is this so hard to believe?

Nostalgia's a *****.

Honestly, I liked it. It wasn't as good as the other 3 in my opinion, but I still liked it.

I'll probably go see this one to. Can't wait!

Thank you so much. A lot of people angry about #4, I think, just assumed the others were supposed to be super-serious and realistic for their time. The entire point of Indina Jones is to resemble a campy B-movie. Look it up.

 

[DeathWyrmNexus]

But Shia Le Beoff (sp?) is still going to be in it...

I am still curious when Indy films became a father/son thing... Adding the son aspect again just makes me not want to watch it.

 

[manythings]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! leave indy alone! please!

They can't hear you they are too busy counting their cash. Just vote with your wallet, don't go. If no one goes they will give up, no one wants to lose money on an investment.

 

[Acidwell]

Just leave the aliens out and i'll be happy. [sub]and maybe George Lucas[/sub]

 

[darksolgamer]

Being an odd numbered film and not using too much CGI might not be enough. They need Nazis to fight.

Agreed, I never get tired of watching Indy punch out Nazis.

 

[Vincent V]

STOP KILLING HIM!!!! HE'S ALREADY DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Adamc-mh]

why can't they leave the troilogy and that other one alone that south park episode basically sums up what I feel about george lucas and (is it) steven spielberg did to the triology

 

[flaming_squirrel]

Why do you have to suck so much LaBeouf?

Apologise all you like, you're still a irritating arsehole of an actor.
