It doesn't look right to me. CG works best when its blended with realism. this looks like a greenscreen though.:csad:

Like in the previous movies :yay:
I wanted an Indy Jones movie with the exact same tone and look as the previous ones, I think I'm going to get it :up:

But anyway, hopefully that won't keep you from loving the movie :up:

[Cagefighterkip]

does anyone have a downloadable link?
i want this damn thing on my MP3 player...

[DocHoliday]

The ABC website says that Sallash is in the film. Do you think this might be the same scene Willie is in...the wedding scene

[Hunter Rider]

stunt men have their own specialty. The accident in TDK was caused by a stunt driver, not the man who died.

You could do your stunt, but accidents happen. Who is to say this was an insane stunt anyways. It could have been a mild stunt and been touched up by cg. Accidents happen.

The thing is when there are alternatives it is pointless to risk a life.

Blanchett really comes off as being menacing in the few quick shots we see of her.. :up:

Abner's a hippie? :huh:

I think he (or she :huh: ) might be like a Native guide wearing some kind of poncho?

Well whoever that person is seems to be carrying something of value.

Exactly. Greenscreen is basically today's version of the matte painting they did in the 80s.

Can't wait to see this movie. :woot:

there is no point of living if you aren't willing to risk a little bit of it.

Looks like the Crystal Skull to me.

[danoyse]

I'd love to see you propose that one to a studio. :whatever:

[Hunter Rider]

That sounds like so bad rock song. :csad: Risks and stupidity are not the same and a risk for a movie is stupidity, the whole James Dean thing ended with the dude wearing a tree.

[CaptainClown]

I'd love to see you propose that one to a studio. :whatever:

haha, I would love to try and propose that to any big business. They would laugh me out of the room..sigh..

I think she's going to be a great villian. :up:

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Just saw the teaser, thought it was superb, cant wait!

[bunk]

That trailer rocked, it looked and felt like an Indy movie should. I still have to watch it a few hundred more times though.

[Webhead2006]

Ford, speilberg and marshall i believe have all said the film is like 70% physical/sets/ an stunts, and around 30% cgi, matte paining/plate shots of exotic locals, and for dangerous scenes like the cliff car scene. This is only a teaser we should wait to the film is out in may to judge all the physical effects and the cgi effects. Spielberg as said while making the film they relyed more on physical effects then cgi. Yes it was used and green screen was done too for scenes but i am fine with it. As others have said the other films used cgi in various scenes of the old films. Overall i thought it was pretty good teaser.

[CaptainClown]

That sounds like so bad rock song. :csad: Risks and stupidity are not the same and a risk for a movie is stupidity, the whole James Dean thing ended with the dude wearing a tree.

The earth is flat, it would be stupid to risk sending fleets of ships to the west...

How was what that stuntman did stupid? They were hired specifically for that.Lets just abolish stuntmen then.

ZOMG TEH TRAILER IS AWESOMEZ! :eek:

[DocHoliday]

For the most part Live Free orDie Hard had a good mix of practical/cgi so I have no clue why the neagtive comments on other websites compare it to that.

[Hunter Rider]

There are LOADS of stunts they can do without risking their lives, i am not, nor have i ever said do away with real stunts, there are tons in the Indy trailer, i am saying be smart about it and use other tools when they are to dangerous.

[DocHoliday]

"This isn't going to be easy..."
"Not as easy as it used to be."

Great quote! Very Indy.

we aren't going to end this are we?

the circumstances in TDK wasn't dangerous, it was an accident. You can't call an accident a stupid preventable act, because it isn't.

[Noir]

You fight like a dairy farmer.

[Hunter Rider]

we aren't going to end this are we?

the circumstances in TDK wasn't dangerous, it was an accident. You can't call an accident a stupid preventable act, because it isn't.

He had an accident b/c he was practicing a car stunt that could have been done in a safer fashion, thus preventable.

[danoyse]

How was what that stuntman did stupid? They were hired specifically for that.Lets just abolish stuntmen then.

OK, so now you're comparing the CGI to the eventual discovery of America? Just let it go, this has nothing to do with the new Indy movie anymore and more with your rampant hatred of all things CGI. :whatever:

No one's trying to abolish stuntmen. It's just about what's safe. It's not that hard to grasp.

[CaptainClown]

He had an accident b/c he was practicing a car stunt that could have been done in a safer fashion, thus preventable.
Then it wouldn't have been a stunt, and he wasn't performing it. His buddy was driving the car. he had an accident because the car screwed up, not because he did a stunt.

[Figs]

Sorry to interrupt the argument about CGI and all but has anyone uploaded this to Youtube at all?

[Hunter Rider]

Then it wouldn't have been a stunt, and he wasn't performing it. His buddy was driving the car. he had an accident because the car screwed up, not because he did a stunt.

Then he would have been alive. i wonder how much everyone in this thread hates us....you more so......but still. :csad:

[danoyse]

Great comments about the teaser in New York magazine:

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/02/indiana_jones_and_the_kingdom.html

Tagline: "He protected the power of the divine. He saved the cradle of civilization. He triumphed over the armies of evil…"

Translation: …but can a 65-year-old man still whip things properly?

The Verdict: It sure looks like it! Fears over Indiana Jones's advancing age are defused early in this just-released trailer with a gag about his eyesight, then it's on to quick-cut action shots to show that he's still quite capable of whipping things and/or making them explode. There's a fight in what looks to be the warehouse from Raiders of the Lost Ark, and we see a crate labeled "Roswell, New Mexico, 1947" pretty much confirming that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will, in fact, have aliens in it. Cate Blanchett looks awesome, and Shia LaBeouf isn't in it long enough to get on our nerves (though we suspect his part in the actual movie will be larger). None of the special effects seem too egregious, and all dialogue is appropriately corny. Is it really possible that George Lucas hasn't screwed up this franchise? Maybe!

[DoctorJones]

There are only two hundred CG shots in the film. And somebody is whinging about one minor thing?

If Raiders was made today, Spielberg would have used CG for the medallion light and the opening of the Ark. Likewise, he would have used CG for the larva pit in Doom and the climax of Crusade. He doesn't believe in overt bluescreen work (unless it's an animated film, which is how he's viewing Tintin).

[Solidus]

All I can say is it looks like a fun Indy movie, it still has that same feel that the others had. And its got the light hearted humor sprinkled through out.

The adventure continues indeed.

[terry78]

Everyone knows being safe isn't cool. Duh. :o

Har-har, you pussy, you called a cab when you could have driven drunk. We are gonna rip on your ass at work tomorrow! :p

[Figs]

Why do people keep mentioning George Lucas "hasn't screwed this up" or "might screw this up". It was him AND Speilberg who created this series BUT mainly Speilberg who is behind most of it.

Star Wars is Lucas's baby while Speilberg always seemed like the main one behind Indy. That's what I thought at least.

So...any news on if this trailer was put up on Youtube? Too many fake ones to go through right now.

[Golgo-13]

Funny! And true.

[DoctorJones]

I think she's going to be a great villian. :up:

Might well be the best. Most of the other villains look kindly by comparison: the charming French archaeologist, the geeky Nazi, the wealthy American, the sultry Austrian... Now we got a butch Russian to compliment the nutty Indian.

Never watched the IJ special features have you? Lucas came up with the idea and most of the story. Speilberg just directed it and made it not suck.

If you understood that comparison it was about risk. had nothing to do with cgi
and I have no hatred for CGI, clearly you haven't been reading any of my posts so butt out.

[Figs]

Well since Speilberg directed it and made it not suck im going to purposefully be blind and biased towards him.

I love the original Star Wars trilogy and all but I never got on the Lucas bandwagon just because of those movies. He really isn't that great of a film maker. Coming up with characters and story maybe, dialogue and direction=poop.

[danoyse]

Quit taking up space in the Indiana Jones forum whining about the CGI, then.

By the way...risk was in relation to stunts...we were discussing real stunts vs. CGI. And the risk of real stunts and why they use CGI. Your comparison had everything to do with relation to CGI.

[CaptainClown]

Then he would have been alive. i wonder how much everyone in this thread hates us....you more so......but still. :csad:
Everyone hates me, if he didn't get up he would have been alive

no it was about risks, was that too much for :bh:?

How is driving drunk and performing a job the same thing? Is there an amazing job I haven't heard of?

[DorkyFresh]

lol @ people complaining about the use of CGI. all i have to say is, get with the times...


...anyway, just saw the trailer. looks like it'll be fantastic. seeing Indy run across the stacks of boxes in the warehouse then whipping onto the hanging lamp gave me goosebumps. pure awesome! Harrison Ford doesn't look as weird as i thought he would. i actually think he looks pretty damn good for a 65 year old. Blanchette looks to be a force to be reckoned with and Shia looks okay i guess, hehe. i'm really looking forward to this movie and i hope this means the return of good ol' Spielberg.

[Hunter Rider]

Everyone hates me, if he didn't get up he would have been alive



Your comparisons are getting worse. :csad:

[DoctorJones]

i'm really looking forward to this movie and i hope this means the return of good ol' Spielberg.

As a longtime 'Berg fan, I'd say this film is certainly interesting. A lot of people dismissed Indy before Schindler's List came out, unaware of the depth of character in these movies compared to other action films. I believe Spielberg doesn't feel a need to prove himself anymore, and can keep the darkness to his more dramatic films. I mean, he is making Tintin alongside Lincoln and the Chicago 7...

[Yurka]

I cant get the trailer to work off of the aintitcool link, does anyone have a link that works?

[Webhead2006]

Just wanted to post this again with all the cgi arguements going on.

Thanks :up:

[Catman]

whats the link to the Indiana Jones myspace page?

[Mr. Socko]

Never watched the IJ special features have you? Lucas came up with the idea and most of the story. Speilberg just directed it and made it not suck.

Lucas came up with the concept of an adventurer named Indiana Smith. Original conception goes to him, yes, Lucas also thought out a rough story involving a biblical artifact, him and Spielberg made a rough outline featuring several scenes and ideas. From there Lawrence Kasdan took over and wrote the script. Steven Spielberg directed the film, he was on set every single day making decisions, he also edited the film as he found necessary. In the end it is Lucas's origination but Spielberg's conclusion.

[terry78]

When is Lucas going to come up with a new character?

[Bnightwing]

On the Indiana Jones trailer why were they in the warehouse the boxed the ark at?

[Figs]

On the Indiana Jones trailer why were they in the warehouse the boxed the ark at?


Most likely because the Nazis are trying to get some kind of artifact/item that is held there and it's up to Indy to stop them!!

[Bnightwing]

Could they be getting the ark or crystal skull hmm

[Webhead2006]

Well rumors are either we might be seeing the ark at the warehouse or there is an object stored there the soviets are after and indy is trying to stop them from getting it.

[Rezzo]

Most likely because the Nazis are trying to get some kind of artifact/item that is held there and it's up to Indy to stop them!!

Russians not Nazis.

[cerealkiller182]

there was another metal looking thing that looked like a box. It said Roswell, New Mexico on it. Could be in the warehouse?

[GhostPoet]

I just watched the trailer this morning.

My initial fear was that it wouldn't FEEL like an Indiana Jones film. kinda like how the newest Die Hard really didn't have that Die Hard feel too it.

My fears are now completely squashed! Not only did this trailer totally feel like an Indy film, it LOOKED like one...and Harrison doesn't show his age at all the scenes we saw.

I am so freaking stoked for this film now!! Even more so :)

[Catman]

When is Lucas going to come up with a new character?

Never. He's out of ideas. Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Thats all he had.

[Bnightwing]

In real life were dose people think The Ark of the Covenant is?

[Bnightwing]

double post

[steintym]

I can't believe all of the arguments about the CGI. I really thought it looked great and didn't stand out that much. I can't believe some of you thought it looked that awful.

[Figs]

Russians not Nazis.


Thanks for the much needed correction. Haven't read up too much on this film and thought he was going against the Nazis again.

Me and my co workers were confused wondering how the Nazis would still be around after the third and the fact that his son looks fairly grown up lol.

[bingy13]

It didn't really get me, but I guess I was never the biggest Indiana Jones fan. Most of it just reminded me of a stage version or re-enactment of Indiana Jones rather than a new movie. Other than a few shots it didn't look too "grand" or film-like to me.

[SuperBatman]

I just get chills hearing the old Indiana Jones music watching that trailer again.

[danoyse]

I just get chills hearing the old Indiana Jones music watching that trailer again.

I hope they re-release the soundtracks for other 3 movies when this one is released.

[Golgo-13]

The Well of the Souls.

[Darkly Dexter]

[JohnRico]

I just got back from Jumper & the first trailer that played was Indiana Jones :woot:

[Visceral]

In real life were dose people think The Ark of the Covenant is?


no one really knows it was lost or destroyed when solomon's temple was destroyed, the temple was built and destroyed like 3 times i believe. judaism doesn't like this fact, or maybe they do as it held the power of God on earth, but i really can't speak for them on how they feel. Christians on the other hand like this fact because Mary the mother of Jesus Christ is the new ark to them.

[Majik1387]

Maybe someone already brought this up, I don't know. But if anyone sees The Spiderwick Chronicles or Jumper this weekend (since the trailer's playing with both), we should report crowd reactions.

why?
i mean; i love it, but im just curious as to why?

[Tempest19]

think he's just trying to become a troll or he's an exile from imdb. rule number one of trolling, say something majorly controversial that will stir a reaction then run.

[StylishHokie21]

What's up Tempest? I haven't seen you on here in awhile.

Seriously though, what's not to like about this teaser? CGI? I didn't notice any real problems.

My guess is that he wanted more in it, even though it was just a teaser

[Prefix]

It's a strange form of nostalgia.

When it is in the past, they view it with rose-tinted glasses. When it is brought into the present, they view it with ****-tinted glasses.

Little do they know that they are both praising and critiquing the same thing.

[Tempest19]

What's up Tempest? I haven't seen you on here in awhile.

Indy boards or in general?

Reason I've been staying away is don't want to hear too many spoilers. First Indiana Jones film in a theater- ever. Which is huge. :woot:

Going to be getting the novel though late March, might even do a whole novel summary thing like I did for SM3.

Been going through the other boards though. And still trying to bring together the SM6 script along with other projects, so while bad news- sm6 is in 'development hell' good news- still in development.

[Webhead2006]

Yea i agree with u there i didnt see anything wrong with cg in the teaser. As i stated speilberg, ford, lucas, producers have said film is like 70% physical effects/stunts and 30% cgi. So we should wait to the film is out to judge the ammount of cgi and ammount of physical effects.

I usually saw you on the Spidey boards, but they're pretty much dead now. I wonder what direction they'll go with SM4.

I've been on TDK boards mostly...that's my #1 summer movie this year. Indiana Jones 4 would be #2 for me.

I noticed one pretty bad green screen effect, but still the teaser was great, the tone was like every other Indy movie. Loved him missing the one truck and crashing into the other, classic Indy. Felt much more in tone with the franchise than the first teaser for Die Hard 4 did.

[theShape]

The trailer was pretty decent. I'm sure it'll be a good film.

I don't get why you'd want to spoil yourself so badly that you know every minute detail of the movie before you see it.

Also, what do you mean by SM6 script?

[deathfromabove]

CGI = computer generated images.

the old indy movies had CGI?

yeah

no they did not.

they had some morphing in part 3 but there was no computer generated imagery in the first three movies.

none.

having said that did anyone really expect this to be cgi free?

[Rezzo]

having said that did anyone really expect this to be cgi free?

Apparently some were I guess.

[CorpusBlack]

Apparently some were I guess.

How long until this series gets Special Edition treatment and becomes full of CGI? Lucas might start getting itchy for shiny and new Indy movies made out of the already perfect old ones.

[Tempest19]

Apparently some were I guess.

Yeah, some posters are getting way too out of control.

Back then they use models, today they use a computer. Do those people obviously want to see models rather than CGI today? And um, why exactly???:huh:

Or for some reason were they looking for a film that was 100% practical, if so- sorry to tell u that was never the case on any of the films.

[terry78]

Did teenagers in 1933 see King Kong and were like, "My God, why did they choose to create Kong via stop-motion? Why didn't those blaggards create him merely out of toothpicks?"

[CorpusBlack]

Yeah, some posters are getting way too out of control.

Back then they use models, today they use a computer. Do those people obviously want to see models rather than CGI today? And um, why exactly???:huh:

I understand some people getting pissed. Like many of them, I'd like the films to fit the style and feel of the originals as close as possible. I am however, not against CGI if used correctly.

[cerealkiller182]

I thought the same way with DieHard. The original was all practical stunts with little to no CGI, just some greenscreening in the other 2. Then there was some CGI in Live Free or Die Hard but i dont think it ruined the Die Hard legacy

[CorpusBlack]

Call me crazy, but I still haven't seen 'Die Hard 4'. I need to.

[Tempest19]

Did teenagers in 1933 see King Kong and were like, "My God, why did they choose to create Kong via stop-motion? Why didn't those blaggards create him merely out of toothpicks?"

Exactly.

And from what I saw the CGI is AMAZING. Might be mistaken, but think that waterfall shot is also CGI- unless there's some place on this world that is actually that cool.

[DorkyFresh]

i think a lot of people are confusing CG shots with well lit and beautiful shots. film making has evolved to the point where directors are able to make EVERY SINGLE SHOT picture perfect and that throws a lot of people off. the only part of the trailer that had obvious CG were the shots of them driving near the cliff.....and it's totally understandable why they would use green screen during that sequence.

if you have a serious problem with the CG in this TEASER trailer then you really need to get a life.

[terry78]

Spielberg never overuses. Ever. Jurassic Park was his first outing REALLY getting a feel for it, and he's done it in a subtle fashion ever since. Even the **** he just exec. produces, even Casper and Flintstones, had well done CG.

[LostSon88]

^ Don't forget Transformers.

I didn't like the CGI elements he added into E.T. for it's re-release.

[CorpusBlack]

^ Don't forget Transformers.

:cwink:

That was mostly Bay.

[Tempest19]

Think he was talking about quality of CGI in films he just produces like Flintstones, Casper, etc. Then it was ILM, not Bay.

[Bond]

Wow, great trailer. :up::up:

[Handsome Rob]

That trailer gets a 9.9 out of 10. The whole "not at easy as it used to be" is the only reason it didn't get a 10/10. It makes me a little nervous that I might actually have to hear a variation of "I'm getting too old for this ____." :cmad: But, it did make me feel like a kid, again. :yay:

I remember watching the first Indiana Jones in the theater. I was 5, and I remember my mom tried to cover my eyes when the Ark melted the Nazis.

But, I saw the whole thing between her fingers. :woot:

"Raiders" has been and probably always will be my favorite movie of all time, representing basically everything I go to the movies for. So, it's no surprise that I'm more excited to see this movie than any other since Superman Returns, and I trust Spielberg/Lucas/Ford to not leave me disappointed (unlike SR).

I'm not thrilled about the CGI, but I hope they limit it to actual special effects. In other words, if it can be done by a stuntman/stunt vehicle, don't replace it with CGI. I don't care that Raiders features a noticeable trench in the road during the ark transport chase scene or that the film footage "speeds" up at times to give the illusion of high speed when Indy's underneath/behind the truck. I don't care that you could see Indy's reflection in the glass separating him from the cobra--that just makes it all part of the fun of enjoying the "old school" feel of the Indiana Jones experience.

Wait, wheres the trailer?! Can someone PM or post please?

I had absolutely no expectations for this film, but I was pleasantly surprised! It made me smile, like I was a kid again! It's done it's job!

[Jack O Lantern]

When he swings and misses the truck and flys through the window of the other truck and says "Damn, I thought it was closer." That is classic Indiana Jones.

**** yes, yes.

Are we assuming that he's stealing the Ark in the warehouse scene?

I looked at it in slo-mo and Cate Blanchett's character is the one driving the car he's trying to swing onto, so i guess he's chasing her. The question is what's she's doing there. :huh:

[porchmonkey408]

I feel like I am 6 years old again. Seriously.

There were only five movies I would watch as a child, endlessly, everyday...ever:

Burton's two Batman films and all three Indiana Jones films. That's all.

Holy crap.

This is amazing.

[terry78]

Indiana Jones can come off tongue in cheek without it being campy, that's why it works. It's mostly played straight, but the characters usually say what we're thinking.

As I pointed out to someone else, age quips are totally in character of Indy. He has never been really young in the films. He has been using the old age quips ever since Raiders of the Lost Ark. As a big fan, I'm sure you recognize;

"It's not the years honey, it's the mileage"

And good to know you enjoyed the trailer, let's hope the film is exceptional. :up:

Add Willy Wonka to that list and those are my sentiments as well. This movie looks extremely fun and entertaining. I don't believe the 'Berg has made one of these since Jurassic Park:woot:

[Secret_Riddle]

What a great trailer..So nostalgic, this summer will be packed with great films.

[Solidus]

Yea this is why Indy is my second most anticipated movie this year. Because even though he is older, he still rocks the house, and can bring a huge grin to my face.

Ah I'm so glad the good adventure is there, and the humor is still intact. Harison Ford still rules. Go Indy Go!

[terry78]

Now I can get back to my routine of seeing a film a week.

[Conebone69]

Can someone make IJ avys? :cwink:

i am super happy with the trailer everything I wanted to see in the trailer was there

[Mee]

Trailer was mmm mmm good. :heart:

[PWN3R]

The teaser really gets better on repeat viewings.

[Rezzo]

The teaser really gets better on repeat viewings.

Indeed it does. :cwink: I lost count on how many times I´ve watched it today. :oldrazz:

[Sebastos]

The trailer was excellent, I give it 9/10. I really anticipate this move now.

[Matt Murdock]

I wonder why Indy and the gang are in US custody.

[Sebastos]

How many times have you guys seen the trailer? I've seen it about five times already.

[Matt Murdock]

Easily 20.

[Boom]

Oh. My. God.

[Sebastos]

Can someone make IJ avys? :cwink:

You can request some in the avvy thread. :up:

[Matt Murdock]

I've stated that I'm perfectly willing to.

[Conebone69]

How many times have you guys seen the trailer? I've seen it about five times already.
Lol only twice

[Conebone69]

You can request some in the avvy thread. :up:
Is that in the community thread?

[Matt Murdock]

Did you miss the part where I said I'm willing to?

[murdock_matt]

Watched it several times myself. Reminds me of how big an Indy fan I truly am.

[Rocker22]

Is that in the community thread?

No, Fan Art.

[murdock_matt]

Also, good to see you back on the boards Matt Murdock. Hope everything is going good at home.

[animexcel]

I was so psyched when I saw the trailer this morning =D
I probably saw this around 15-20 times as well. I definitely have to catch this one in theaters since my parents never took me to see any of the previous ones , well I was 8 or 9 when the last one came out, so I'm old enough to drive myself lol

[CBG]

Only downside IMO will be Shia Lebouf's acting.

[Conebone69]

Did you miss the part where I said I'm willing to?
Lol oh sorry dude I didnt see that. Could you make a avy gif of indys shadow on the rock? (I think it was a rock) Thanks man :yay:

[The Kid]

The teaser really gets better on repeat viewings.

damn right. It's like seeing a ghost. it's been too long doctor jones... :hehe:

[Watson]

I looked at it in slo-mo and Cate Blanchett's character is the one driving the car he's trying to swing onto, so i guess he's chasing her. The question is what's she's doing there. :huh:

I have a spec about this (it may be off, or confirmed by spoilers, I don't know)

I think the Ark may be used as a red herring to start. Indy, or the US gov't, thinks it's what the Commies are after, hence Jones rushing off to the warehouse to fight them (in order to protect the Ark since he is the only person who knows its power). Only there do they realize that the commies are after something entirely different...whatever is in the box marked Roswell, thus leading them in a chase for the Crystal Skull.

[Alex The Great]

*bows down to holy indiana jones*

[Rezzo]

How many times have you guys seen the trailer? I've seen it about five times already.

About 20+ times. :oldrazz:

[Alex The Great]

they sooooooooo need something like this in this movie!

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/bacheri/indy3at7rp.gif

[Bnightwing]

About 20+ times. :oldrazz:

same here :grin:

[bullets]

no way , i'm sure harrison ford gave him some good advice.

[scifiwolf]

About 20+ times. :oldrazz:
How many times have you posted those links today. ;)

[Webhead2006]

Hey matt murdock, i would love to have some avvys of the pick up hat shadow on the truck, and the indy in shadows -titles apear scene. If you can make them for me shoot me avvys in pm ok man.

[Rezzo]

How many times have you posted those links today. ;)

I think around 4-5 times. :oldrazz:

[DarkSuperman]

The trailer looks awesome! Very Old skool goodness!

[DarkSuperman]

How many times have you guys seen the trailer? I've seen it about five times already.

yeah about five myself.

[BritishChap007]

Probably over 30.

[matthooper]

I don't say this often, but that is one of the top 5 greatest trailers I have ever seen.

Here's to hoping the film will be great too!

[Nirvana]

I've watched it about 15 times today...will probably watch it more :)

[Webhead2006]

I lost count how many times i watched it.

[Figs]

Great to be home and finally save this bad boy for repeated viewings ;).

[Alex The Great]

that trailer was full of awseme and win.

[Figs]

I don't know about anyone else but I need to see this teaser in the theatre to get the full effect. I loved it so far, but on normal computer speakers the theme song just doesn't have the loud ear ringing quality that gets me pumped.

I want to hear it in Surround sound. :)

[BlackLantern]

being a huge fan of Indy...owning the DVD set and all that, I was a bit skeptical but after seeing the trailer my faith is restored...May is going to be a great month if you are a movie fan

[Figs]

BlackLantern, just curious.

Where you skeptical at first mainly because they were making a new one too many years after The Last Crusade? Kind of like, too little too late.

[BlackLantern]

it was a bunch of things, the amount of time being the main issue....can Harrison still pull it off? can Spielberg do a movie without taking it too seriously? oddly enough I loved Ford in Hollywood Homicide...he played a great cranky old guy

[Figs]

I still want to see Hollywood Homicide. Got a lot of bad reviews but it looked fairly funny.

[cerealkiller182]

I still want to see Hollywood Homicide. Got a lot of bad reviews but it looked fairly funny.

For the most part it was pretty meh, but i thought the ending was great.

[Figs]

So it's at least worth a watch though? A rental.

[BlackLantern]

I still want to see Hollywood Homicide. Got a lot of bad reviews but it looked fairly funny.

Its ok...theres a hilarious scene where Harrison Ford is chasing one of the bad guys and he grabs this little girls pink bike....she says something and he just yells at her....like I said....he plays a great cranky old guy...its worth a rental, or if you know someone who owns it borrow it

[DocHoliday]

Guys...I have an addiction. I cannot stop watching this trailer. Intervention time.

[Cory]

trailer was really nothing special. it was good. dont get me wrong, but for waiting all this time, it shoulda blown me away, and it didnt even come close....POTC3''s trailer blew me away for the long wait we had for it....NOTHING TO DO WITH how the mvoie turned out, eventhough i loved it, but that trailer was worth the wait...this one....wasnt.

[Mee]

So it's at least worth a watch though? A rental.
Yeah it's worth a rent, it was decent.


Firewall too.

[BlackLantern]

what I dont like is how Cate Blanchett is all butch looking....There better be the requisite hot piece of a$$ in this movie

[Figs]

Yeah it's worth a rent, it was decent.


Firewall too.

I caught Firewall about 6 months ago on tv. Wasn't nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. It's what I expect of HH, worth a one time watch at least.

Now...to watch the IJ4 teaser again lol.

[Cagefighterkip]

Guys...I have an addiction. I cannot stop watching this trailer. Intervention time.

an intervention eh?
well we're here because we love ya man...

[Figs]

what I dont like is how Cate Blanchett is all butch looking....There better be the requisite hot piece of a$$ in this movie


If this movie is like the originals I'm sure her or another woman might get down to her 'knickers'. Jones always scores!

[Mr. Socko]

Jones' girl in here is Marion. She's in her 50s now(40s in context of the movie), so don't get too excited, fellas.


Not every movie needs a Megan Fox with cleavage hanging everywhere in every scene.

[BlackLantern]

I dont like Karen Allen....never have....she was annoying in Raiders...

[DocHoliday]

an intervention eh?
well we're here because we love ya man...

It's truly appreciated.


As for Firewall I watched agin on HBO today and I disliked it as much as the first time. Paul Bettany is good in it as is Harrison Ford with the stunt work at the end but other than that there isn't much there.

Hollywood Homocide on the other hand is a flawed but fun film that I revisit from time to time.

Firewall was terrible.

I can't wait to see Ford's return as the action star for what I believe will be the last time. After Indy IV, I think it's time he continues his career to a new turn, try some 'older' roles like something Ian McKellen would do instead of still trying to hang on to the last shreds of playing the adventurer.

He can finally go after that Oscar now.

I'd like to see him have a Clint Eastwood type rennassaince in his old age. He could really do some good stuff.

[DocHoliday]

It has a Shia :heart: :D

But it doesn't have big f**cking Robots! Or does it?! :wow:

[Troubled_Josh]

wait- u didn't know? Indy has built this giant robot called the 'whip-it' that does dance moves in the film and then destroys the bad guys!

[DocHoliday]

wait- u didn't know? Indy has built this giant robot called the 'whip-it' that does dance moves in the film and then destroys the bad guys!

Does he also speak in an ethnically stereotypcal manner?

[Conebone69]

Im actually pumped now! Im glad shias in it too, hes awesome

[Cagefighterkip]

wait- u didn't know? Indy has built this giant robot called the 'whip-it' that does dance moves in the film and then destroys the bad guys!

like that episode of the simpsons... whip it good...

[Troubled_Josh]

well, he speaks in pig latin. so you don't really understand him. but there is this kick ass boom box connected to him that plays the music- kinda like bumblebee

[DocHoliday]

Im actually pumped now! Im glad shias in it too, hes awesome

I think he is pretty cool. He's Come a long way from that little role in I,Robot.

[TNC9852002]

WTF? I can't believe how desensitized people have become.

I snuck into the beginning of Jumper and saw the trailer and I thought it looked pretty damn good! I'm surprised that so many people have been feeling underwhelmed by it.

I agree, it was everything I expected...however I wasn't surpised by some of the negativity. Internet movie fans remind me of Jet and Eagle fans. Always pessimistic.

[BlackLantern]

well maybe Eagles fans as Philly sports fans are forever miserable scum of the earth types who would heckle/boo their own mothers if offered the opportunity...I loved the trailer and cant wait for the film...Spielberg will have some more of my money, as if he doesnt have enough of it already

[UltimateJustin]

I thought the trailer was pretty good. The first part has an epic feel to it that reminds you that there were previous movies and then it jumps into the iconic image of his shadow putting on the hat, reminding you of hats and shadows which are imagery. Then there is humor, whip crackling noises and a possible love interest in Shia LaBouff. Three and a half out of four and a half.

[Tempest19]

yeah that end shot was really cool and how the logo appeared on screen and everything. seriously can't wait to see the trailer in theaters tomorrow. anyone know if it's with the IMAX spiderwhick also?

[Conebone69]

I think he is pretty cool. He's Come a long way from that little role in I,Robot.
And even stevens lol... I remember I used to love that show when I was a kid

[Tempest19]

Battle on shaker hill was a cool flick. checked it out of a library once. may have been his first film, dont know for sure though

[vibeke_T]

The trailer = awesome

[Star]

Just wanted to say, that I will be in a firey rage if Shia becomes the protege of Indy. Which he most definitely will... argh.

the trailer is here :D

[Tojo]

Watched the trailer, a little skeptical to be honest. Some of that action looked abit too much. He's supposed to be older in this film yet he seems to be doing crazier stunts then he could do when he was younger. The original trilogy never had him doing those sorts of things, and what he did do always looked like a struggle, y'know, because humans generally can't go ass first through a windscreen, swing onto a jeep doing 60mph etc. All the action in the orginal trilogy was totally believable, in my view anyway.

Also, did i see CGI(the plane, car chase with Blanchett)? Yes, yes i think i did. And it looked bad, Star Wars bad.

I'm looking foward to this film more than anything else, cos Indiana Jones are in the list of my favourite films without a doubt, but i just they don't cheapen it with unneccesary decisions. I'll probably get flamed for whining but whatever whatver.

[dark_b]

better wire rigs,better CGI,better...
thats why this movie will have bigger action scenes.

its like star wars. lucas can say what he wants......older jedi BS my ass.
the technology was there so the lightsaber fights were better. same here. we willl get the i am old jokes. but the action will be better IMO.

[co2]

Man.. can't wait. That teaser got me excited.

[Mr. Socko]

[The Chris]

One thing that's annnoying me is the whole The Dark Knight vs Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull fanboy wars that has been going on in these different forums like rotten tomatoes and chud and even here a little. Batman fans have to rip indy for its lightness and fun and indy fans have to rip batman for not having as many oscars. WTF? This summer in all likely hood we're going to get at LEAST 2 big budget quality films by two of the best directors working today. This is a great time to be a movie fan, and instead of putting the two against each other and immaturely squabbling about which is superior, we should be biting our nails in anticipation for both.

[Superfreak]

bigger action scenes yes, but at the cost of realism? I don't know. Indy was always tough, but never super tough. the crazy things he did hurt him, and hurt him badly.

I read somewhere earlier about the old matte painting system working better than this new CG. Truth, irregardless of how hard they try, the matte painting/background system is still superior. I understand that the more they use the CG, the better it will get. But like in the first paragraph, at what cost?

Better techonology should allow bigger and better things to be brought to screen... but they must fit within the context of the setting.

And you can definately bet, that Lucas has his dirty little fingers in there somewhere

todays matte paingins are IMO better.

[Superfreak]

I could agree, when the backgrounds are in motion.
But I don't know what I think is better. With the CG, sometimes it looks good, sometimes it looks horrible. Atleast in the original Indy's and StarWars for example, the mattes were simple, but you never really noticed them (only a few special cases, where movement was involved before the advent of more advanced computer compositing).

I can't really decide on the topic right now. But what I think we can agree on, is that more often than not, they try and push the use of CG too far. In many movies, there are certainly a huge number of examples where CG was used for absolutely no reason whatsoever (I Am Legend and the 'vampires' that could have easily been played by people in makeup which looks twice as good as the CG at probably 1/4 the price being a perfect example of this).

Basically, I'm sayin this. CG is good, but I hope it's not pushed to the point where it become ridiculously obvious that what the audience is looking at, is computer generated.

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

Saw the trailer. Looks freakin' epic. Didn't really like the quick cut of the car chase scene, but everything else rules.

BTW: Lasso dropkick through a massive sheet of glass FTW :up:

You want an argument about the overuse of CGI then there it is right there. Why do they even choose these shots? Madness.

Indiana Jones is my personal 2nd favorite film franchise/character.

Coming from that mindset, I'm pleased with the trailer, and look forward to May 22nd with much anticipation.

[Erzengel]

I loved the Trailer and any doubts I had about the movie were gone by the end of it. This has to be the #1 movie I'm looking forward to this year.

It's looking like the May 08 movies are shaping up to be better than the May 07 movies. :up:

[turtlefocker]

I had no doubts... until the trailer.

well maybe Eagles fans as Philly sports fans are forever miserable scum of the earth types who would heckle/boo their own mothers if offered the opportunity...I loved the trailer and cant wait for the film...Spielberg will have some more of my money, as if he doesnt have enough of it already

Yeah the MPAA can be very strict over this stuff.

Wonderful! Just one less moron in the theater to deal with.

No kidding. There are lots of examples of cheap/80s cheesy CG in the old films. One that drives me crazy is the background storm when they find the location of the ark in RoLA.


That wasn't CGI...it was a simple composite shot.

I think a lot of people seem to confuse Visual F/X for CGI.

I still find it incredible the amount of weak CGI'd shots in a very short teaser trailer. Surely they know how the censors work? Why would you put out inferior and messed up shots of your movie?

[scifiwolf]

The point of the shot of Mac and Indy is to deliver the dialogue. Dont forget, too, that this movie will likely be PG-13, and its trailer is attached to a PG movie. Having a medium shot of so many soldiers pointing automatic weapons won't do. They reduce the number of soldiers, and change them so the weapons aren't being aimed directly at Mac and Indy. It's a trade off between the censoring and including the line "Not as easy as it used to be," so Frank Marshall went with the dialogue. Spielberg had absolutely nothing to do with the trailer.

How'd Indy's hat get all the way into the middle of the airstrip when he was in the trunk?

Also, did anyone else get the cheesy 50s B-movie feel from the trailer?

Sadly, I completely agree though the sequence in the warehouse also looked pretty good.
