I have a big problem with the refrigerator scene like everyone else but that's pretty much it. I enjoy that film. It's no where near being my favorite but it didn't hate it at all and I have no problem rewatching it.

So you didn't have an issue with the fake jungle chase with the cgi swinging monkey brigade?

 

[ghostjoke]

No thanks. Not to say Lucas shouldn't have involvement, it just shouldn't be as part of the writing team. Keep him under restraints and he can be a great asset.

 

[BossLackey]

This is a mistake.

 

[SMG]

Ford can't carry a film anymore so this was always going to be bad but with George...

oof

The hilarious scene in Skull when a stone wheel is busting a bridge apart behind a bored looking Ford was reason enough for the movie getting made.

 

[Ninjimbo]

Good. I'll roll with Lucas and Spielberg. None of the Indy movies have been trash as far as I'm concerned.

 

[wesleyshark]

This is horrible but don't anyone here act like this was going to be a great movie without Lucas.

Shit was dooooooomed

It just went from possible turd to inevitable diarrhea

 

[Ushojax]

He can be involved, Spielberg just needs to be honest when he has a shit idea.

 

[jelly]

Well, shit.

It's fine if you can say no to Lucas's ideas but Spielberg doesn't seem to do that anymore.

 

[Gleethor]

There's still good in him

 

[spookyfish]

oh yay can't wait


Ugh.

There's still good in him

He's more digital now, than film. Computer-designed and unimaginative.

 

[astroturfing]

awesome, i'm in.

guaranteed to be a crazy film.

 

[FireBeaver]

They nuked the fridge.

 

[Sephzilla]

im so out

 

[jelly]

Remember when Spielberg said no CGI.

 

[chefbags]

I'm half tucked

I'm Nathan Drake.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

This already had Koepp attached to it so I wasn't really expecting great things.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Squeal, Indy.

 

[Effect]

So you didn't have an issue with the fake jungle chase with the cgi swinging monkey brigade?

The monkey thing was silly but that's as far as I go.

 

[Grym]

I'm glad to hear. For better or worse, Indy is a Lucas & Spielberg thing and I feel it must keep being that way to the very end.

I hope they make a last one, be a good farewell and leave it rest forever, hopefully well protected from "remakes" and "reboots".

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

that isn't happening. This is to be a springboard for future Indy movies.

You can read an Iger interview published today

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/bob-iger-interview-star-wars-905320

You have another Lucasfilm property, Indiana Jones, and Steven Spielberg has agreed to make a fifth film. Will there be an Indiana Jones universe, eventually, like Star Wars?

Not like Star Wars, no. But we hope … right now, we're focused on a reboot, or a continuum and then a reboot of some sort.

Reboot? You've got Harrison Ford for this movie, and then the presumption is there will be a younger …

Well, we'll bring him back, then we have to figure out what comes next. That's what I mean. It's not really a reboot, it's a boot — a reboot. I don't know.

THR has been using the term "requel" for these sequels that reboot the franchise.

Requel. (Laughs.) We [got] Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the film. But then what's the direction? I've had discussions about what the direction is, [but] I don't want to get into it.

But you do see making more films?

Yes, I do. I don't think it reaches the scale of the universe of Star Wars, but I see making more. It won't be just a one-off.

 

[Unit 33]

Leave it be lad, leave it be.

 

[Ronin]

So you didn't have an issue with the fake jungle chase with the cgi swinging monkey brigade?

It's only slightly more ridiculous than the mine cart chase in Temple of Doom.

 

[Liamario]

Just the tip

Thanks. Those three words arranged in this order, and in response to previous posts has brought me moderate joy.

 

[DoctorFling]

Lucas belongs in a museum

 

[Effect]

It's only slightly more ridiculous than the mine cart chase in Temple of Doom.

This. I don't know where people get the idea that the Indiana Jones series is some realistic or some serious franchise. There is a lot of stupid or silly, or WHAT!? stuff in this franchise. That's why I say the nuke and fridge thing is the biggest issue I have. Everything else is on par with the other movies. They just had better technology to work with when it came to the Crystal Skull.

 

[Username1198]

Is Shia laboof in it ? Indy had a son in the last one right?

Squeal, Indy.

Can I use this as my avatar plz

 

[Escape Goat]

Is Shia laboof in it ? Indy had a son in the last one right?

He died on his way back to the alien home planet.

 

[wesleyshark]

Lucas belongs in a museum

Why tarnish a perfectly good museum?

 

[Username1198]

He died on his way back to the alien home planet.

Spinoff

Indiana jones son 1; return to the crystal aliens home planet part 1

 

[ebullientprism]

Well RIP.

 

[Drencrom]

WELP

Literally the only reason I was optimistic about this project is gone now...

Crystal Skull 2.0 here we go!

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Good, I'm interested now.

 

[digitalrelic]

FFS...

 

[wesleyshark]

If anything, we'll at least have an absolutely horrendous new film to roast.

 

[Litan]

Leave Lucas alone, you assholes.

 

[jelly]

Part time.

 

[M.W.]

Spielberg is a turd nowadays anyway. Double I'm out.

 

[cyba89]

I honestly feel if he had some degree of input with The Force Awakens wouldn't have felt like an A New Hope repeat in a lot of ways. Say what you will about the prequels they at least were unique and not repeats of past films.

"They are awful films but at least they are unique"

 

[-shadow-]

I'm fine with that honestly. Just don't go the Crystal Skull with that ridiculous amounts of CG and absolute horrendous story telling/action. The movie has really great moments. Just on average it's not amazing.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Ah, so THIS will be the next Plinkett review


Wonder which cgi animals we'll have this time

 

[Drencrom]

I would definitely not go that far, but he kinda lost his touch in recent years.

 

[Sephzilla]

Cool. That's good to hear. I don't agree with Lucas not being involved on some level with Indiana Jones and even Star Wars. The ship might have sailed with Star Wars I guess. However Indy will always be Lucas' and Spielberg's baby. He should be there to some degree. I honestly feel if he had some degree of input with The Force Awakens wouldn't have felt like an A New Hope repeat in a lot of ways. Say what you will about the prequels they at least were unique and not repeats of past films. They were original and as much as I enjoy A Force Awakens it was not. I think he should still be there to a degree like he was there for The Clone Wars series.

Y'know, except for how the prequels shamelessly pull imagery from the from the OT just as bad, if not worse, than Force Awakens

 

[Guy.brush]

Remember the talk about doing it mostly traditional, not much CG and the very first shot of Crystal Skull is a CG mammal on the Paramount hill.

 

[True Savior]

Spielberg has become untrustworthy. Maybe they balance one another.

 

[btrboyev]

Come on haters..dont be asses. Lucas as produced every single film. He is not involved in the script or story this time. I'm not going to rush to judgment.

 

[DragonSworne]

Two out of touch over the hill film makers making a movie staring a senior citizen doing action sequences.

I'm out

 

[Timeaisis]

I have so many mixed feelings about this movie.

George wanted children as the lead characters in the SW sequels. He went soft in the head a long time ago.

 

[Sectorseven]

At least we'll get a Plinkett video out of it.

 

[linkboy]

Sums up my feelings.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

All that salt.

I am in.
