Indiana Jones 5. It's official.

I hope the filmmakers remember this new movie is set in 1969 and not 1939. I just don't see how one can do a 30s style serial set in the late 60s. "Crystal Skull" had utilized elements of 1950s B-movies in its narrative. To me, this made sense since the movie was set in 1957. I'm just not familiar with the elements of 1960s B-movies for this new film to use.
It's definitely on my list, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
^ I don't know about that.
Early admissions are on a par with "The Flash" , which wouldn't be good even if it cost what that did, as opposed to nearly 300m.
Should have brought back Shia. Everybody loved him.

Shia and Ezra at the box office at the same time would have torn a hole in the fabric of reality.
Only because they fear him.
Tom Selleck appears at the end as Indiana Jones
Sign me up. I would take that in a heartbeat.
Psychedelic drug trips, a supernova of female nudity/sex scenes, spaghetti Westerns (Django & Sartana at this point). Giallo's just getting started, it's too late for beach or spy movies, a couple years too early for Bruce Lee & his countless clones, so… yeah, not a lot to work with.
Guess they could have given Indy a Harley-Davidson instead of a horse.
He's the greatest actor of this or any other generation. Really, I can't understand why he's not starring in every movie.
Not worthy of licking the dirt from soles of Shia's shoes. Not that he'd be able to now, anyway.
Having a 1930s serial set in the late 1960s isn't exactly a great idea.
I think an elegiac ending for Indiana Jones a la Sam Peckinpah would have worked well.
I'm reminded of when Lucille Ball tried to make a comeback in the 80s with a new sitcom featuring her famous visual gags and pratfalls and every single critic (and apparently most of the viewers) were extremely uncomfortable watching a 75 year old person depicted on screen doing things that could easily end up giving them a broken hip. Ford is even older and the action in an Indiana Jones movie even more intense.
He crashed a plane and survived. The man doesn’t play by normal human rules.
There seemed to be this recent trend of late middle-aged or elderly performers revisiting old roles - Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davies, Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Jeri Ryan, Kate Mulgrew, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Robert Duncan McNeill, Tim Russ, and Brent Spinner. I didn't know whether or not to include Sam Jackson. If fact, there have been younger performers like Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and Temuera Morrison doing the same. I didn't realize that the nostalgia factor had become such a big business in the Hollywood industry.
