He's the American James Bond.

My issue, besides Ford's age, is that three out of the five Indiana Jones film will feature Nazis as the antagonists, which I find to be uncreative, boring and just done.

James Bond went against a number of enemies, from Goldfinger to Blofeld to Scaramanga to Octopussy and even other "Double O" agents.

This movie already feels like it's been done and it hasn't even begun shooting.

Spielberg is a producer? I guess this is happening again

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything about it because I don't mean to rain on yours or anyone else's parade.

I truly hope it's great and if I hear anything exciting in the coming months, I'll be sure to share.

At this point, I'd almost prefer a reboot to a geriatric Indy. What's he going to do, wheeze on them?

Angrily shake his whip in the air and shout, “Get off my find!”

I really think this will work fine with a good script.

The problem with Indy IV wasn't Ford, or even Lebouf. Or even ancient aliens - that CONCEPT is fine, but the execution was terrible.

It was a bad script.

I've always liked the idea of post WWII Nazis doing anything as a story concept. I hope we get to go to Argentina. In fact, Hitler should be in this. LMAO

Execution and script may have been issues but, aliens WAS absolutely the biggest problem with it. You have a trilogy in place where all three movies dealt with religion in some fashion and then you follow it up with Indy on the trail of aliens? It just doesn’t fit.

Ancient Aliens WERE a religion for some cultures, is the way you have to look at it.

It's how they handled that concept that was off. A giant ****ing grey and a flying saucer in your face at the end ain't it.

Hopefully Harrison Fords finger returns in this.

That's why Iron Sky kicked ass.

The monkeys/Mutt swinging from trees part killed 4 for me. Might be the single stupidest scene for an adventure movie ever.

They HAVE to get back to practical effects. The CGI is horrible, and what made Indy great was semi-plausible stunts.

Indy didn't have to use his brain to discover much, either. Oxley led them my the nose almost the entire way.

I'm glad someone else said it.

I love Raiders, Last Crusade was pretty good and I can even enjoy Crystal Skull, but I've always found Temple to be boring. I've watched it a couple times and still have no clue what it's about. I find myself completely tuned out within 15 minutes of turning it on.

What it's about? They're fighting over the goddamn sankara stones! It's not a complicated plot.

But the reality is it's about George Lucas' divorce. LMAO

I get that people might not like Temple of Doom because it tries to be funnier, and a lot of it was shot on sound stages, but I've never heard anyone say they don't comprehend it.

After escaping Shanghai gangsters, Indy is on his way to Delhi, the plane crashes, some kind villagers take him in and demand he brings back their magic rock in return for helping him, so he overnights at a palace in the middle of nowhere and discovers an ancient thugee cult has stolen the magic rock and enslaved the village's children.

Then he has to go do Indy shit to make the world right again.

That's it. Now you understand the movie. Thanks and enjoy the bridge scene because it's ****ing awesome.

Love Temple of Doom! Yes, the plot is simplistic and the villains are caricatures.

But Spielberg at the top of his action game.
