Meh. Still too early to tell, but I don't know too many people in my walk-a-day life who actually think this'll be the Indy of old, or even a fresh new take on that old standard. Still, I'll give it a shot.

Still, I'll give it a shot. Yeah, all of us will see it no matter what. I hate to admit it, but George Lucas is right in his theory that it doesn't matter if it pleases the fans. They'll still go see it anyway. Multiple times most likely... I'm doing my best to go in and watch it as it's own film and not think of the previous installments. That's the only way it can be enjoyed, imo....

thats not really a good sign for a direct sequel is it? Well it helps in that Indy 4 comes so long after the previous three, just like with Land. I wonder if Indy 4, for some people, will suffer the same fate as Land did - to those people that hated it anyway. I'm trying to avoid reading too much about it or whatnot, just kinda go in a fresh-minded as possible without looking into it too much and just watch it and see what I think. It certainly looks like something I'd enjoy anyway.

Slightly more up beat review... Puts it in position 3 of 4... http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36678

I suspect it will be to Indy what the Prequel trilogy was to Star Wars.

thats not really a good sign for a direct sequel is it? How do you firgure that the 3 original Indy's are direct sequels, anyway? They have similar characters but the story lines really have nothing to do with each other. In fact....Temple of Doom is technically a prequel to Raiders if you go by the timeline. And as MZ said....with a famous franchise like this and the passage of time since the last installment, people are going to be expecting the film they've had in their head for the past 20 years. Some will want a direct copy of Raiders or Crusade, and some will even want another installment like Doom. There will definitely be more fanboy bitching than praise.....that's for sure.

I'm not too worried. Aint It Cool had a glowing review/praise for Speed Racer Someone was out shopping for Indiana Jones toys.. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbi...res/article.do

When was the last time Harrison Ford made a bad movie? I cannot wait to see this.

[clanglee]

Hollywood Homicide? Six Days, Seven Nights? What Lies Beneath? He's made plenty of bad movies recently. I am however looking very much foward to the new Indy movie. No doubt!!

[Neil]

Well, it's no. 165 in the top 250 films ever at IMDB! So it can't be too bad! Any of you guys seen it?

I've been having to stay around the house to take care of the little lady, but I'm hopefully going to see it in the next few days. My buddy tells me that it's an awesome and fun ride as long as you can get over a few of the negative points. He said that there's no doubt in his mind that alot of fans will pick the film's bones clean because of their love of the originals, but it's still worthy to be in the series and really fun. He also says that Harrison Ford still has the Indy mojo. And apparently Shia Lebouf is quite surprising....
