Indiana Jones 5!

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was the first Indy movie that I found to be boring for long stretches. That was what I saw as its #1 failing, not anything about the subject matter. An Indiana Jones movie shouldn't be boring.

Clearly a lot of people didn't feel similarly. I'm glad that there's excitement about more movies.

Yeah, that too. I could have lived with the subject matter if it at least had the high energy and witty banter of the previous movies.

Instead we got dull, talky exposition about Mayan culture and a bunch of cheesy, cartoonish action that looked like it came out of the Mummy films. Ugh.

I agree here as well... For some reason, call it "lack of energy" or something, I couldn't get "hooked" into Kingdom like the old Indiana Jones movies. It felt like it was too "by the numbers" to me... Just IMO, of course.

Cheers,

I rank the films this way-

1. Raiders Of The Lost Ark
2. Indianan Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
2. Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
3. Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom

For me:

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Temple of Doom
3. Kingdom of the Crsytal Skull
4. Last Crusade

George Lucas mention Indiana Jones 5 briefly and Star Wars in 3D

CS: And what about "Red Tails," the project with the Tuskegee Airmen that you've been wanting to do for some time now - there's progress there?
Lucas: We're casting that right now and we're shooting in the spring.

That is exciting! This has been in development forever. But never has he said they are ready to shoot. He first said they same thing about KotCS two years. Days before production was formally announced. Lucas is very controlled in how he describes new projects. So this appears to be finally happening.

Yeah Red Tails (Tuskegee Airmen) is another film that sounds good

I'd love to hear something solid on this around Spring time that its a solid go.

I bought myself IJ:4 during a great Black Friday sale but have held out opening it just in case someone gets it for me for Christmas.
Its like torture knowing I could watch it but should wait. I saw it twice in the theaters.

2011 would be a good time to released Indy 5, 30 years after Raiders of the lost ark
