Originally Posted By ecdc I'm excited for this and surprised at the negative reaction I've seen online. Yeah, I didn't think the last movie was great, but it wasn't any worse than Temple of Doom.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I liked Temple of Doom, dang it. I don't know why people don't like that movie more. The mine chase? Amazing! The evil little prince? What a baddie! I thought the opening Busby Berkeley scene was a hoot. And Mola Ram was spooky, too. I liked that Kate Capshaw was different than Marion. I thought it was a fun thrill ride of a movie. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next adventure. I hope there is a lot less CGI than Crystal Skull -- real stunts in real sets.
Originally Posted By dagobert I'm also excited and while I'm not the biggest fan of part 4, I think Indy 5 will be great again. I know Ford is much older now, but he looked fantastic in Star Wars.
Originally Posted By hopemax I am moderately excited. But I'm hoping Indy has some sort of partner. Watching Harrison do action is painful for me, at this point. I'd rather someone else do the super physical stuff leaving Indy to solve thought puzzles and outwit the baddies in less physical ways.
Originally Posted By EighthDwarf I thought Crystal Skull was one of the worst movies I have ever seen so I think they need another installment to end the franchise on a positive note. Harrison Ford will be 77 in 2019 so I hope the next film either tees up a replacement Indy or adequately wraps up the franchise on a nice note. He's getting a bit old to be believably adventurous.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA I'm a real fan of the Indiana Jones series. And - the last one was just a pile of poo. It all felt so processed and CGI'd and weird. Cate Blanchett as the 'Evil Russian Spy' chewing up the scenery, and Karen Allen as Marion striking her pose and delivering her line from the first movie. Oy vey! And Shia LaBoef as - SPOILER ALERT NOT SURPRISING - Indy's son. Cookie cutter all around. Hopefully, they can learn from 'The Force Awakens' as far as production - that movie was more like an 'Indiana Jones' movie really. Here's hoping.

Originally Posted By dagobert Since the new movie is a Disney film, they can't use the Paramount Pictures mountain to fade into the scenery. Hopefully they use the Disney castle, because they could start the movie in Europe and let the castle fade into the scenery, like they did with Maleficent. But I guess they will only use the Lucasfilm logo, like they did with TFA.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I enjoyed the first 3 Indy movies (I agree that Temple of Doom is a lot of fun), but the 4th one wasn't great. The entire Indiana Jones series has always been a revival of the old adventure B-list movies, so I'm fine with them being a little campy. I agree that Harrison Ford should probably be less physical this time around, but there's still a story to be told As for the logo, I think it would be relatively easy to make a castle-shaped logo from a mountain or temple (something like Angkor Watt would be especially easy to work with), and then use that to fade into the scenery. Disney has done stylized castles before (like Tron), so why not take it a little further? Or a European setting could also be fun, since it hasn't really been done yet in the series
Originally Posted By JeffG I'm betting the film has a Paramount logo at the beginning (right after the Lucasfilm logo), even with Disney distributing. Disney's buy-out of Paramount's distribution rights is very similar to the arrangement they made for Marvel (with Paramount retaining a financial interest in the film) and remember that the first Avengers film still had a Paramount logo at the beginning.

The Marvel movies were already in production and Paramount had contract with Marvel when Disney bought Marvel. The distribution deal between Marvel and Paramount lasted from Iron Man to Avengers. Disney had to buy them out to get all the distribution rights of all Films. The logo of Paramount is still in the movie, because of a stipulation in the contract. Indiana Jones 1-4 distribution rights are still at Paramount, while the IP and the distribution rights for future IJ movies are with Disney. So I don't think Paramount has any involvement except for a financial participation. From Wikipedia: >>>In October 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm, thereby granting Disney ownership rights to the Indiana Jones intellectual property.[43][44] However, Paramount Pictures continued to own distribution rights for the film series.[45][46] On December 6, 2013, Disney purchased the remaining distribution and marketing rights to future Indiana Jones films, while Paramount will continue to distribute the first four films for Disney, and will receive "financial participation" from any additional films.<<< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_%28franchise%29#Future

I picture Ford dodging booby traps and such ... with a walker. ;~) Come on GREAT Grandpa ... off for another adventure! ;O
Originally Posted By dagobert I really hope that the new movie will lead Disney to bring more Indy based attractions to the parks. I'm still hoping for the IJA at DLP. I can't wait to ride it this summer at DL Anaheim.
Originally Posted By Mr X ***I'm having visions of South Park's take on Crystal Skull*** Me too Dean. And to all the folks who said he looked good in Star Wars, I say otherwise. He looked like a geriatric has-been who got killed like a bitch (by his freaking SON no less!). What a way to satisfy a decades-long death wish that Harrison Ford made clear would've happened in "Return of the Jedi" if he'd gotten his way (and that would've been a far better finale for our hero imho). Now Indy FIVE!? I guess nobody noticed how incredibly pathetic Indy FOUR was. They should just title this one "Indiana Jones and the Cashing of the Paycheck". Blech. Blech, blech, blech. To Ford, the corporations, Spielberg and Lucas and all the rest of those creatively bankrupt fat-cats who couldn't drum up a new idea if Old-Solo and Old-Indy held whips and blasters to their greedy heads! BLECH!
