Oh god no... Indiana Jones 5 a possibility

[Gildan Bladeborn]

you still look at the original ones as a child and put it on a pedestal. maybe you should actually watch the movies as an adult and see it thru the eyes of an adult. you wanted the new Indy movie and probly Star Wars, to bring back your childhood, which it can't and will never do. so grow the hell up and don't look at it like a child, look at it like an adult.

See, I don't have that problem, as I never saw those when I was a kid and thus I have no nostalgia fogging up my critical lens. Turns out Raiders of the Lost Ark is a pretty good movie, Temple of Doom was stupid but still entertaining in a cheesy way, and Last Crusade was bloody awesome.

The 4th one though was terrible, not because of the plot venturing into different territory [small](though I certainly think Indy worked best when it was about hunts for religious artifacts (that the audience had actually heard about) and Nazis)[/small], but because it wasn't very good. I don't have any sacred cows that I refuse to let Hollywood ever re-invent or modify, as some wonderful things have come about precisely because somebody did that.

The trick is you have to produce something that's actually good for it to work. The 4th Indiana Jones film was an insult to existing fans of the franchise, and unlikely to win new fans - I will state for the record right now that if you thought that movie was great you have bloody terrible taste in movies.

You might as well be defending Batman and Robin.

Well with any luck hopefully people will talk with there wallets. This movie will cost an ass load to make with their Harrison Ford cheques and ridiculously intricate and not necessary CGI sequences. If everyone says "Fuck off I'm staying home/seeing another movie/playing games/not interested in helping George Lucas fulfil his pact with the Devil" we can look forward to a future lacking in Indy Rape... sounds like a forum for people who loved bands before they sold out.

90$ says Indy's going to team up with bigfoot to find the loch ness monster.

I can't take it anymore. Michael Bay [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.161340] was bad enough. But this is it. If this happens, Hollywood is going too far. They have to be stopped. If I want to watch any more characters who defined my childhood assassinated while my adult eyes watch in horror that is what Scooby Doo hentai is for.

Time for the revolution?

woah, whats the problem with a 5th film? i hope they make a 6th too

in the lost Ark we had [spoiler/] at the end of the film ghosts from a magic box, killing Nazi's[/spoiler]

in last crusade we had [spoiler/]invisible bridges and the actual cup of Mr Christ, aaaaand Indy's dad as a main character.[/spoiler]

how is an [spoiler/]alien skull and Indys son as a main character[/spoiler] any less believable or enjoyable than that?

take off your rose tinted nostalgia glasses and enjoy the adventure

 

[primitivescrewhead]

Screw you lucas, screw you!

 

[Nazulu]

Not surprised really and I won't be surprised if they manage to make it worse than the crystal crap, even though that sounds impossible. So many crap sequals have been made through the last decade that it doesn't bother me so much, they obviously have just lost their magic touch so I'm not going to expect anything great anymore.

If this somehow turns out to be a good movie then I will start calling it the 4th.

 

[shadowstriker86]

Indiana Jones and the Haunted Retirement Facility.

Oh joy...

 

[Chewster]

They'd better get it out before Harrison Ford dies, no?

 

[Indecizion]

Sigh sad face more sequel's but yeah does Harrison ford REALLY believe he is still a convincing action star? i mean SERIOUSLY, if Schwarzenegger knows to call it quits then he should prolly get the hint :S

 

[NeutralMunchHotel]

$5 that it'll suck worse than Crystal Skull.
They really need to stop killing everything that was good in movies.

Dear Hollywood:

Spoiler

You know, I actually enjoyed the Crystal Skull. 'Cool - Cool! - COOL! - Aliens?' was pretty much my thought about the film. They ruined it with the last five minutes, if it had staed occulty rather than go sci-fi then it would have been far more enjoyable.

 

[WrongSprite]

Awesome!

Fuck off you nostalgia hugging, elitist pricks.

You can fully go and suck it.

I'll look forward to this.

 

[Ekonk]

DO NOT WANT

Seriously people leave the franchise in peace.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Dude, Indiana Jones 4 (and the Star Wars prequels, while I'm at it) were not that bad. Sure they weren't as good as the originals, but I don't see any reason to outright demonize them. And you have to admit, Crystal Skull was better than Temple of Doom

God I am so fucking sick of you people thinking it's always because of nostalgia! Not only that but he didn't even say anything about the aliens and crystal skull ruining the movie either.

The first 3 movies did those fantasy scene's really well, it was amazing and something that will stay with you for the rest of your life while the spaceship and aliens in the end of the 4th was not only hardly interesting, it also didn't make any bloody sense. You got what's her face bringing back all their belongings expecting a reward and they obliterate her or something.

If you think it's a good movie, fine, but don't start targeting people who don't like it and use that shitty excuse of an argument.

actually, the OP didn't give much of a reason for hating it.
you made some interesting points about the 4th film, but I can't really be bothered discussing it because God I am so fucking sick of you people with a shitty attitude

EDIT plus i feel i was hardly targeting anyone, the OP brought the subject up i brought up some points hoping to get a discussion going with him. my "take off your rose tinted nostalgia glasses and enjoy the adventure" was hardly damning him nor insulting him and if it seems that way, please read it with a friedly tone of voice in your head, because thats the tone of voice i used in my head while typing it.

 

[Saul B]

PLEASE NO! God help us all...

 

[Twilight_guy]

Well the simple solution is here is, I dunno, don't watch it. Why does everyone have to get in a huff when someone "messes" withe there precious franchise? It's not like you own it, the owner can do whatever he likes with it and it's not as if they are changing your memories of the old stuff, your good times in the past remain constant either way. What is with you people? It's only a sequel that you can easily ignore.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

Bring it on Holywood, and make sure you're packing heat ya beverly hill livin mutha's cause this customer is strapped and ready to rumble!!!!


Ya, I really stopped caring about Indian Jones quite awhile ago.

Good then be a sissy. Also read it through like I had a happy tone, hypocrite.

You can target people but don't use that shit-hole argument. It's always used in these threads and it may work on people who just say "oh I did't see it because it had this and this in it" but otherwise it's just missing the point.
