My first impression is that it looks like Indiana Jones got really old, but the action scenes are very "new" looking, with CGI and videogame-esque environments. So I'm okay with it, but I'm not really the biggest Indiana Jones fan in the world. Rewatching number one a year ago was a bland experience, but number three held up alright. Number two, I have been meaning to rewatch because of its bad reputation.

And just for reference, Shia Lebeouf is awesome, a real good actor right? In this movie he looks like a retarded car salesman wtf.

Maybe he is a retarded car salesman.

You never know.

Well the Indiana Jones trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies of all time so hopefully this new one won't crap all over the series. I'll have to check out the trailer when I get home from work.

I liked the trailer. A little bit too much cgi, but hopefully they get it right.

Well, I'm hyped now. I can't hear The Raiders' March without getting hyped, really. They went a little overboard with the whip swinging, though.

That title needs to change, too.

CGI!? Where's my classic 8mm film look? =(

(After actually watching the trailer, it still looks pretty good...I'm glad the goofy humor is back, with Indy crashing through the windshield of the truck (reminds me of the bit where he and the one Nazi soldier helped each other steer the "Arc Truck" in Raiders)...I still wish the explosions were done the old-fashioned way, though...)

The last Indiana Jones game I played was one that was on the NES and I could never get past the mine cart part. Hated that game, good thing it wasn't mine.

...Indiana Jones got really old...

I'm wondering how they're going to explain that. Didn't he become immortal in the last film?

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #8 on:** February 15, 2008, 01:48:31 AM »

As I recall, the price of that immortality was that he remain there, like the knight.

Alternatively, immortal does not imply ageless.

I agree with PartyBear's first point...(Man, I love this new "someone posted while you were typing your response" feature!)

Good point. However I have to mention that even when back in the day they used some cgi effects they still looked more raw than the ultra-clean effects of today. He can still be a cgi whore but at least do it properly.

Let's remember that George Lucas is PRODUCING and Spielberg is directing. Spielberg's use of CGI in Minority Report and AI is much superior to Lucas' use in the new Star Wars trilogy. Let's also remember that Indiana Jones has always been a joint production between Lucas and Spielberg, and in my mind the best aspects of Lucas (cheap serial adventure, innovative technology, fantastic plot) merge with the best of Spielberg (humanism, emotionalism, dynamic visual beauty) in the series. 1 plus 1 doesn't always equal 2, however, so I still prefer the best Lucas films and the best Spielberg films to Indiana Jones, which in its worst moments is far clunkier than other Spielberg films.

Spielberg's "fun" films - Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Second-to-Last Crusade, Jurassic Park, and Jaws (let's ignore Temple of Doom) - are his best, in my opinion. In fact, they're the only Spielberg films I like (well, I guess I like A.I. too. For that, I credit Kubrick.) His serious films are too manipulative.

Ah! Of course.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2008, 05:01:05 AM »

As far as I know, Spielberg had little to do with Temple of Doom...

ahahahaahha what are they doing to this franchise?

Lethal Weapon 4
Die Hard 4
Rambo 4
Indy 4
Fantastic 4

Sorry, but resurrecting these 80s franchises into the new millenium just doesn't work. If they bring back anything, it should be THE A-TEAM.

Immortality conferred by the grail wasn't ageless and required continued use like a drug. The knights other brothers died of "Extreme old age".

They also didn't need to stay where they were to gain immortality, they needed only the cup. The knight was warning them of the final undocumented trap.

Lucas and Speilberg have both said that they want to try to keep the original trilogy's feel as much as possible and will be keeping CG shots and visual after effects to a minimum. And it's not like the first Indy movies had their fare share of CGI.

But either way, I'm totally excited for this movie now. I'll be waiting in line on midnight, that's for damn sure!

Disclaimer: I like the title of the movie.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #19 on:** February 15, 2008, 08:58:19 PM »

Fat chance, that trailer was full of CGI.

And Spielberg had a lot to do with Temple of Doom. He... directed it.

And it had MOLA RAM. Freaking shining example of COMICAL EVIL GUY.

I would watch The A-Team, but then around the fifth movie I would become disenchanted and would want to watch some new Lethal Weapon movies.

Saw it. Didn't hate it. More at 11.

If you were to rank it against the others, what would the order be?

I still haven't seen it (maybe tomorrow, if not Monday before I leave for my honeymoon), but as of right now my list looks like this:

1. Last Crusade
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
3. Temple of Doom

Kairon · « **Reply #24 on:** May 22, 2008, 02:57:05 PM »

I'm tempted to say that I like this better than all the others, but I haven't seen the first three in a long time, and the truth is that the modern handling of this movie gives it a completely different, and much more accessible, pacing, sensibility, and appeal than the originals.

Actually, I found myself having the STRANGE thought that Indy IV was everything that the Star Wars Prequels should have been. I mean... in an abstract sense, Indy IV KNEW what sort of a movie it was, it knew its genre, and it excelled at delivering the formula.
