Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[Shifty]

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


You're going to watch the movie to find out.

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

Its set in '57 so that's what they're going for.

[Octoberist]

I didnt noticed Ray Winstone's pants until now. OMG its weird.

[theShape]

I watched it very skeptical, but as soon as I heard Indy's whip crack for the first time, it brought back great memories. This is sure to be a better outing than Live Free or Die Hard.

[Gold Samurai]

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


well at least the soldiers aren't carrying any walkie talkies

[Rezzo]

I didnt noticed Ray Winstone's pants until now. OMG its weird.

The pants of the soldier on the left behind Mac is incredibly weird, yay for CGI pants. :lmao:

[Golgo-13]

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

The warehouse sequence was THE BEST part of the trailer. :up:

The guns have been flipped around so they're not pointing at Indy and Mac, for the purpose of the trailer ONLY. It won't be like that in the final cut.

what was wrong w/LFoDH? It was good --- especially the unrated version,.

[Bnightwing]

Why are Indiana Jones's Fedora Hats so expensive?

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

you would have to be the dumbest ****er on earth not to enjoy that trailer...especially when that music kicks in.

[dark_b]

they spend like what.....2 hours on those shots?

if this would have been done for the movie then i think it would be 100 times better.

[Evelisse]

Is this guy in this movie?

Ummm ... I think that's the point. They're going for a 50's B-movie style.

I dont think so...

[danoyse]

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....

And he didn't even say anything, it was just a "GAAAHHHH!!!!" he yelled at her when she tried to complain about taking her bike. The movie isn't great, but it has a lot of scenes like that that are really funny.

This isn't a great movie either, but in Six Day, Seven Nights, there's a scene where after he and Anne Heche learn they're stranded on an island and she wants to know why he's so calm, he says "Because I'm the Captain! It doesn't do us any good for me to run around yelling 'Oh S**t! We're gonna die!'"

That's the only part of that movie I can even remember. :oldrazz:

[steintym]

I couldn't agree more. Everyone's been begging for a trailler and now that it's here, we've got a lot of people crying about garbage. I think some people are being ultra-critical.

[Lobo]

fun trailer :)

[Erzengel]

Hi, welcome the internet. :o

The internet has given any idiot with a computer and a modem to be a critic.

While everyone is welcomed to their own opinion, some should keep it to themselves.

[danoyse]

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35630

You guys hear about that yet?

I read it...I was too busy watching Indy to really care which way the guns were pointed. :dry:

[Figs]

So the whole guns pointing/not pointing thing was just done for the teaser right?

They will be pointing the guns at them in the actual film since in that kind of scenario...they would be.

[protocida]

It would be fun if, after all the fights, Indy opened the magnetic Roswell Box, full of magnetos and with this card:

''YOU'BE BEEN RICK'R'OLED!''

[protocida]

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!

Is it me or Mac's pants on the guns scene is CGI?

[danoyse]

19 years waiting for a new Indiana Jones movie, and this is what we get. Controversy over someone's pants.

[Rezzo]

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!

Is it me or Mac's pants on the guns scene is CGI?

Yep, they are CGI in that clip. :oldrazz: It´s just suppose to be for the trailer though, read this (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35630) and you´ll find out why they are CGI.

[protocida]

I've read it.

I Was curious because i keep hering about CGI Pants and i didn't know where. I Assumed it was the shot were Indy catches the Hat. I Even thinked:

''FREAKIN GOOD CGI, THEN!''

[FaT_tONle]

19 years waiting for a new Indiana Jones movie, and this is what we get. Controversy over someone's pants.

I can not believe this thread has turned into a costume and CGI fest.... man... I can't say I blame people or I'd be a hypocrite... I am a poster to usually B*** at nauseum at crap ass CGI... but it just didn't bother me in this trailer... its INDIANA people... but what can you do???

[GhostPoet]

I'm pretty certain the hat is CGI. Since he's older, stapling it to his head might be too dangerous...so they had to CGI the hat now.

[Matt Murdock]

lololololol

The hat isn't CGI.

[Kevin Roegele]

The pants of the soldier on the left behind Mac is incredibly weird, yay for CGI pants. :lmao:

http://i30.tinypic.com/egy.gif

That's quite a sexy wiggle. I bet Lucas is behind this. If there's CGI anywhere it shouldn't be, Lucas' fingerprints are all over it. Atleast they would be, if you could touch computer generated images. That's Lucas' ultimate dream....to touch CGI, to fondle it, to caress it. The man is insane. When The Matrix really happens, it'll be his fault.

[Mr. Socko]

Shorty's been replaced by Shia.

But to date, Shorty is the greatest side-kick ever.:up:

[Matt Murdock]

They CGI-ed the guns out because the trailer aired with the children's film "The Spiderwick Chronicles"

Because stapling a hat to your head when you're younger is perfectly safe.

[GhostPoet]

Because stapling a hat to your head when you're younger is perfectly safe.

It is, dang it!!
We all did it...sitting around in the basement...stapling each others heads. Ahh...good times.

Excellent and one of the best teaser-trailers so far! :up:

aww man, he should have had at least one scene and a "Mista Jones!"

[Gold Samurai]

He has no wife. His kids are all adopted by him. He's mister mom. Ofcourse if he did have wife she would probably be CGI

Thanks Robo, took the words right out of my mouth.

Seriously, who cares if they edited the trailer to tag it on a kiddie flick? As long as they have the guns pointed at them in the final film, to quote Ghandi, "I dont give a s#!t".

[danoyse]

aww man, he should have had at least one scene and a "Mista Jones!"

You call him DOCTOR Jones, doll! :indy:

[CFE]

This is f**king ridiculous...

I started up an 'Event' for 'KOTCS' on Facebook and invited all of my Facebook friends.

Most of them are declining and saying that they will not to see it.

Since when did people NOT want to see an 'Indiana Jones' movie?

(NOTE: Most of my friends on there ARE 19-20, so stupidity comes with the territory...but still)

CFE

[Matt Murdock]

Maybe Indy isn't the problem? :oldrazz:

I kid, I kid.

[CFE]

no you're right, I KNOW Indy isn't the problem...

the problem is that teenagers get such a hard on from '300' and the 'Bourne' series nowadays.

oh and they're total DUMB S**TS and don't have good taste in film whatsoever.

Im 15 and all my friends are looking forward to it :D

Me the most though ;)

[scifiwolf]

I'm not a teenager and I loved 300 and Bourne. However, I love Indy infinitely more, as evidenced by the fact that I've been growing roots in this thread for the last year.

CFE, I wouldn't be discouraged that your friends don't want to participate in your Facebook event. They'll still end up going. ;)

[CalebYourMaster]

im 16 and only a couple of my friends wanna see it...
But the trailer rocked...and i totally wanna see it

[Argyle of Sock]

I'm 18, so the entire trilogy has been out my entire life; it's like one of those absolute constants in the universe that shaped my worldview as a child. That's why I was a little dubious of this new movie: I was afraid it might wreck the perfect balance that is the absoluteness of Indiana Jones. But I must admit now, that seeing that trailer with Harrison and Cate and the whole production, made me start grinning and giggling like a maniac because I was so happy. Judging from what I've seen so far, this film should earn it's place among the pantheon of other IJ films.

[OctaviousINC]

does anybody have the HD trailer in .wmv format? Any help would be appreciated.

[Webhead2006]

yea i was jsut reading the aicn article a little while ago. Yea i agree it was probably due to the trailer being on kid film, i doubt it will be edited that way in the film like the others have said. The film is most likely going to be pg13. Also for all you who read or didnt read the aicn article here is link to the international/non edited guns-cg pants: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/video/article307898.ece?channel=Film+Trailers&clipID=1347_SUN6442

[Conebone69]

I'm a teenager. :O
Hey dude, did you ever make that sig I asked for? Just wondering, if you didnt thats cool.

So is shia suppose to play indys son in the movie or what?

[Kevin Roegele]

I think Indy IV is going to be a financial disapointment. It will be a hit, but not as big as expected. Like Superman Returns, it will make $100m less than expected.

[Webhead2006]

The rumors are either he is the love child of indy and marion or he is juat a 50s greaser who got caught up in indy's adventure.

[Shifty]

Now that's better.

And I'm going to have to disagree with Kevin, if anything it will be the opposite.

[sithgoblin]

Okay, so I understand why they edited out the guns.

But why did they add the American flag?

[Conebone69]

Okay, so I understand why they edited out the guns.

But why did they add the American flag?
Wheres this american flag at?

[Rezzo]

Okay, so I understand why they edited out the guns.

To add some American ¨pride¨ perhaps. :whatever:

Wheres this american flag at?37 seconds into the trailer.

[sithgoblin]

Wheres this american flag at?

Haven't you seen the trailer?

[Erzengel]

If last year taught us anything with 3 May movies making over $300 domestically, I think there's plenty of money for Indiana Jones, Iron Man, and Narnia.

[theShape]

I think Indy IV is going to be a financial disapointment. It will be a hit, but not as big as expected. Like Superman Returns, it will make $100m less than expected.

I might have to agree. It has been a long time since the series ended, and people haven't exactly been demanding another Indy. It'll opening big and make some bank, but I doubt it'll be the top grossing film of the year.

[Conebone69]

Haven't you seen the trailer?
Yeah but I cant find it in the trailer, what time is it at?

[Rezzo]

Yeah but I cant find it in the trailer, what time is it at?

37 seconds.

[Rocker22]

It is right before you see the new Indy footage, right before you see the driving trucks.

[StylishHokie21]

Anyone have any good avatars for Indy 4?

[Rac]

Yeah but I cant find it in the trailer, what time is it at?
Lol. How could you missed it? It covers the whole screen. It's ridiculous. Just like the flag in Spider-Man 3.

[Webhead2006]

Hey i was just wondering, any one who is good with editing things could any one take the international/unaltered guns part and connect it to the us version?

[Conebone69]

I see the flag now, lol idk how I missed it. I guess I just wasnt paying attention

[Iron Fist]

I think Indy IV is going to be a financial disapointment. It will be a hit, but not as big as expected. Like Superman Returns, it will make $100m less than expected.

I disagree.

[CBG]

I wish Short Round came back.

[Webhead2006]

yea that would have been cool or even just a cameo. Same with sallah but they didnt ask John to come back and since film is in south america/usa having sallah would be a little pointless.

[Golgo-13]

But he wouldn't be short anymore.:csad:

[Webhead2006]

does any one have a pic of the actor who was short round now as an adult?

[terry78]

Yeah, I did wonder why that flag was there. Seemed pretty blatant. He's not an American hero, he just does **** because he happens to be there.

[Webhead2006]

well i was thinking the flag could have been on the boarder of the base he is breaking into.

TALL Round!

[Iron Fist]

He should totally make a cameo.

[Mr. Credible]

the teaser was okay, i guess.

the title music seems very, very cheesy today, the jokes were blah, the cgi was passable, at best, too much whip action for a man that age, and speaking of which, too many "i'm too old for this" jokes, as disguised as they tried to be.

but, who am i kidding, it'll get my $9 come May.

[TNC9852002]

lol. Short Round.

He never aged. He just got taller. :p

and the teaser is still badass in my book. I saw it in front of Definitely, Maybe and Step Up 2 today and I still get chills..

step up2 was awful, def/maybe was actually pretty good...
and everybody cheered at the def/maybe screening of the trailer!

[FaT_tONle]

Lucas will prevent this movie from being up there with the other three predecessors... I think the jokes and the quips might be a little over done... not to mention the CGI... wouldn't be suprised if R2D2 flew in at some point... and yeah the whip action was too much.... especially when the cars collided... I didn't really have a problem with the swing to the truck... but the cars... its like he was Batman... last time I checked its a whip not a grappling hook... look Ford doesn't need to show off at this age... he was swinging like SPiderman in that trailer... just the fact that he is running and jumping and still retaining that old gritty voice is enough for me... I can't stand the excess stunt doubling... hopefully those are the only times we see SPiderman in the movie.

[Webhead2006]

ford clearly has said he did alot of the stunts in the film much more then in the past 3. and we shouldnt judge the film on just one little teaser.

[Warhammer]

I love the teaser! It made me feel so happy watching it. :) :up:

[Enriquespy]

Like it... dont spect a lot... its like a citizen kane sequel. there is just no way it can have the same effect or be as good as the predecesors.

[Warhammer]

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. :o

[Conebone69]

I hope they play the indiana jones theme song slower and more softer in dramatic/sad scenes like they did with the rocky theme in rocky balboa.

[danoyse]

I might have to agree. It has been a long time since the series ended, and people haven't exactly been demanding another Indy. It'll opening big and make some bank, but I doubt it'll be the top grossing film of the year.

It doesn't need to be the highest grossing film of the year. People are too obsessed with box office.

I was watching the trailer on my computer at work yesterday, and a significant number of people stopped to watch it too. I went to the kitchen and found someone else humming the John Williams theme and describing the trailer to another guy. Everyone thought it looked great...and just about all of us were around for the original trilogy.

Maybe we haven't been "demanding" another Indy movie, but we got one and it is just so damn cool.

[Darkness Falls]

saw the trailer for the first time yesterday
Looks badass
when you see him in shadow putting his hat on That shot alone sold me!

You do realize that complaining about the John Williams theme from Raiders is cinematic sacrilege?

I can't even get started on the age complaints...everyone's entitled to their opinion, but, seriously, it's not like Harrison Ford is geriatric.

[grey goblin]

But why did they add the American flag?

Its 1950's Cold War, USSR vs US and Indy is an American.

If it offends you look away. Sheezus.

And I know a few people who watched them as kids who are probably going to wind up taking their own kids to see this one.

I got to see all 3 of the originals in the movie theater on the same day two years ago, and it hadn't lost a thing. They were as good as they were back in the 80s.

I would love to see them in theatres. It would have been clever to do a limited re-release of the first 3 in theatres as a lead up to KotCS to get old fans hyped up and younger fans interested. Hopefully a revue cinema around here may think of it.

It was really cool--it was at the Ziegfeld Theater in NY, which is probably one of the last movie palaces left in NYC. It has only 1 screen (they do premieres there a lot), about 1000 seats, and they still open the curtain before movies starts and close it at the end of the credits.

They were running all 3 Indy movies for a week, so my dad and I took a day off and saw all 3. It was actually my first time seeing Temple of Doom in the theater, I wasn't allowed to see it when it was first released. :oldrazz:

He worked on some of the fights on the first X-Men movie too. I remember watching it with the commentary track and they were referring to him as Short Round. :oldrazz:

Gotcha, but Indiana Jones had so much hype to it, even before it even went into production; hell, even before it got scripted.

Is it being made?

Is it not?

Is Harrison too old?

Blah, blah, blah.

Ppl will flock out to see it in droves. Unlike Superman, who many, including myself didn't care for to begin with....

[Lord Blackbolt]

I agree...I think this movie will be another Die Hard 4 at the box office....Which became the highest grossing edition to the franchise....Indy 4 might not make as much as Raiders...but I think it will make more than Temple and Crusade

It would be awesome if they rereleased the first three in theaters for a limited run. I've never seen any of them on the big screen before.

I agree...I think this movie will be another Die Hard 4 at the box office....Which became the highest grossing edition to the franchise....Indy 4 might not make as much as Raiders...but I think it will make more than Temple and Crusade

Indy 4 will go one of two ways. It will be like Die Hard 4 and Rocky Balboa and make a decent amount of money...or it will be one of the biggest hits of the summer. I can't tell which it'll be though:csad:

[Webhead2006]

Yea it is to early to judge how the film will go with only one little teaser with less then a min of actual movie footage.

[Downhere]

Ppl will flock out to see it in droves.

I think this is pretty much guaranteed. The minimum this will make domestically is 200 million, and possibly much higher.

[Dangerous]

Trailer was cool, did not blow me away though.

[Matt Murdock]

I hate how people say that the teaser didn't "blow them away."

To be frank, the "The Dark Knight" teaser wasn't impressive, either, and, yet, people are flipping out over that film now that they've seen the trailer.

Folks are too quick to judge.

[Alex The Great]

lol. ya guys should have been in my theator....Watching spiderwick with my lil sis and it's a packed house. When the teaser appeared adults were screaming ''YEEEESSSSS!!!''

You know, i'm a big Batman fan and will go and see TDK opening weekend for sure, but i swear i only watched the new TDK trailer online maybe like 5 times. It was o.k but just like Batman Begins' trailer, it didn't blow me away. I'm sure the movie will be great though. The Indy trailer; i could have sworn i'm watched it 60+ times already. The trailer just has that 'special' feel to it. Especially with the recaps of the last 3 movies at the beginning of it. It's like we're stepping back in time or something.

;up:

[Webhead2006]

I asked this a few pages back but never heard anything from any one. I was wondering if any one who is good at editing vids/making trailers if they could take the scene from the international/unaltered treaser with the guns part and put it in over the us edited one and then upload it somewhere and post link to it from here. I would love to see if any one could do this.

[cerealkiller182]

No offense but does it matter? Ive seen plenty of trailers that have been noticeably altered. Im pretty sure that you cant hae guns noticeably pointing at characters anymore in film marketing. I remember a while back there was a resident evil 2 poster contest,and one of the rules was no gun can be pointing at another character

Start caring if it looks that way in the movie, then theres a problem

[GeoffTheArtist]

I was floored by the trailer. I can't freaking wait. :up:

[Webhead2006]

i was just wondering if any one could do it. i would do it myself but i dont have any editing software.

with PG-13 it would be OK but with a PG it is not.

Why? Just watch the international. Having an American flag and "May 22" instead of no American flag and "May" are the only other differences.

[Webhead2006]

Yea i know, i was just wondering if any one could do the edit to us trailer. As i said i would have done it myself if i had the software to do it. By chance is there any other links to the international trailer besides thesun link i posted a few pages back the other day.

[Shifty]

I just don't see anyone wasting their time doing that.

Try YouTube or Google.

[Rezzo]

I just don't see anyone wasting their time doing that.

Exactly there´s no real point to it, just watch the international trailer.

[Doomed Hero Rising]

I don't know why, but this movie makes me nervous.

[Iron Fist]

Why?

[Rocker22]

He said he doesn't know why, but in the long run there is no need IMO.

[Iron Fist]

Yeah, I think there's no reason to be nervous.

[Mee]

Unless awesome things make you nervous. :o

[Nirvana]

LoL, seeing the Dark Knight prologue made me nervous. But I can understand where he's coming from.

[danoyse]

It would be awesome if they rereleased the first three in theaters for a limited run. I've never seen any of them on the big screen before.

The only one I hadn't seen the first time around was Temple of Doom. I did see Raiders, but I remember getting really scared at the melting Nazi scene (I was 7), so my folks wouldn't let me see the next movie in the theater.

There'd been a whole fuss over it that summer because it was really violent for a PG film--PG-13 was created shortly after. I remember the newspaper ads had additional warnings attached that the movie "may be too intense for children."

So I love Temple of Doom, mostly because it still feels like contraband whenever I watch it. :woot:

I saw Last Crusade on opening weekend, but I was in Disney World at the time. When Indy was pretending to be the Scottish lord and the butler told him "If you are a Scottish lord than I am Mickey Mouse!" the whole audience groaned. :oldrazz:

[scifiwolf]

I saw Raiders and Crusade in the theater. Crusade was in '89 right before I turned four. Raiders was a few years ago at a one-time screening.

[danoyse]

I was just about to turn 4 when I saw Star Wars in the movie theater. Yes, I'm old...but hey, I got to see the original Star Wars in a movie theater. I saw it at least 3 times, too. :woot:

The only major Spielberg movies I haven't seen in a theater yet are Jaws and Close Encounters. I'm hoping we get some re-releases in NY eventually.

[DACrowe]

Well the trailer reminded me how good 2/3 of the last ones were...so I dunno. Seeing Indy that old and Blanchett in that get up. But also seeing INdy swinging, wearing the hat, the music and having Ray Winstone tagging along fills me wit hhope. Also Marion being back and my hopes for seeing the return of John Rhys-Davies sells it.

I hope it's good.

[Rac]

http://film.wp.pl/indiana.html?rfbawp=1203002296.167&ticaid=155fa
The better teaser. :up:

MPAA should just die away...

[Tojo]

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

But with him gone and you still there we can be assured that the moron imbalance will be dealt with. Infact, because he's not a even moron in the first place, and you are, the moron quota will have gone into overdrive. Is it really that difficult to accept that because a person has reservations about a movie then it doesn't mean they are a retard?

I have problems with it, based on the trailer, which i admit is only a glimpse into the film. The CGI is problematic for me, because no matter what anyone says, it doesn't belong in an Indy film. Background shots, filler details, fine. Anything else is noticeable and does not improve viewing quality. The original trilogy didn't have it and managed to look pretty damn cool. The other problem is some of the action Indy was doing made him look like Spider-man. Still, i can't wait to see it.

[Untilteld]

Is it wrong that I haven't seen any other Jones flicks?

Yes, yes it is.

After watching the Indy trailer...I felt, somewhat underwhelmed. I know I'll probably enjoy the film because I liked the trilogy, but the trailer didn't push any buttons. It seemed poorly edited, and went by too fast. Not a deserving trailer for Indy, imo.

Indy's mouth doesn't really move when he says "Not as easy as it used to be" so either they truncated that scene or he actually says something different.

[Dr. Watson]

^I think they truncated Mutt's line as well. It pauses funny in the middle. Perhaps Mutt says a bad word before teacher?

[cerealkiller182]

Ive noticed that when Indy isnt yelling his mouth isnt very animated.And i think Mutts pause is a sign of disbelief/surprise.

[Dr. Watson]

I'm suprised I haven't seen this posted yet. Indiana Jones toys from the NY toy fair (some of the toys have some mild spoilers so I'm gonna tag it)

http://i29.tinypic.com/2hf6ntj.jpg

So the toy confirms that Spalko and Mutt fight at one point. And the snake...wouldn't it be funny if Mutt had one as a pet?

Full report from comingsoon/shh

Hasbro's 2008 line of Indiana Jones toys will roll-out in four waves that include characters and vehicles from all four movies, starting with Raiders of the Lost Ark and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665) on May 1, then figures from "The Last Crusade" will follow in July and "Temple of Doom" in September, although Hasbro has promised that these will be ongoing toys and not just done simply to tie into the movie. There was more secrecy revolving around the upcoming "Crystal Skull" than any other movie presented by Hasbro with a bunch of the toys not shown at all, since some of them might give away key plot points of what happens in the movie. The one thing we did get to see up close was the Lost Temple of Akator, the one large-scale playset that will be available in May, which features a lot of the traps we've seen Indy face in past movies. (You can see lots of close-up pictures here (http://www.comingsoon.net/imageGallery/Indiana_Jones_Toy_Fair).

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/ijfiguressm.jpg (http://www.comingsoon.net/imageGallery/Indiana_Jones_Toy_Fair/Indiana_Jones_Toy_Fair_10.jpg)We also learned a few new tidbits about the movie from the toys, like that Shia LaBeouf's character Mutt Williams would be carrying a sword and that there were two types of warriors they'd be facing in the movie, the Nazca warriors whom we see in the recent trailer and the mysterious Cemetery Warriors, which the Hasbro guys were hesitant to discuss more. (But you can see larger versions of all three of these by clicking on the picture on the left.) We also saw an image of the Jungle Cutter, an armored tank with buzz saws on the front, which would be the one vehicle from "Crystal Skull" released in the first wave along with two vehicles from "Raiders," the German staff car and cargo truck.

There will also be a number of deluxe Indy figures with various traps inspired by the movies, and the line will have a mail-in offer where you can send in four proofs of purchase and get exclusive figures, the 3-3/4" one being another one of the things they couldn't show us. (But you can see the silhouette of it here (http://www.comingsoon.net/imageGallery/Indiana_Jones_Toy_Fair/large/hr_Indiana_Jones_Toy_Fair_9.jpg), which might give some sort of clue what to expect.)

[Geo7877]

I like that you can say Damn before a kids movie, and show things exploding and people getting beat up... But you can't show a close up of guns being used in an aggressive manor.

[Spider-Vader]

The trailer sucked
:whatever:
I watched it very skeptical, but as soon as I heard Indy's whip crack for the first time, it brought back great memories. This is sure to be a better outing than Live Free or Die Hard.
It wasn't bad. It was better than Die Harder IMO.
I'm a teenager. :O
Me too.

I agree...I think this movie will be another Die Hard 4 at the box office....Which became the highest grossing edition to the franchise....Indy 4 might not make as much as Raiders...but I think it will make more than Temple and Crusade
Crusade did better than Raiders world wide.

That toy info indicates that Mutt isn't Indiana's son, as his last name is listed to be "Williams." If he was Henry Jr.'s son, his last name would be, obviously, "Jones" or "Ravenwood."

[Majik1387]

I hope Mutt isn't Indy's son.


But did anyone else make the connection that both names are technically based off a dog. (Indy's dog is Indiana, a mutt is a dog)

[Dr. Watson]

That toy info indicates that Mutt isn't Indiana's son, as his last name is listed to be "Williams." If he was Henry Jr.'s son, his last name would be, obviously, "Jones" or "Ravenwood."

I don't think that's strong enough to say that he isn't. Marion may have simply lied to Mutt about his lineage, or had another boyfriend whose last name was Williams around the time of Mutt's conception. That tactic has been used to cover up relations many times in film and literature. Plus I think the first name dog connection is a good clue.

[cerealkiller182]

Bryan Singer lied about a kid being a certain guys father & the results were not pretty

of course directors and writters will lie about that kind of strong movie details.

[Gold Samurai]

I'm convinced the warehouse scene has nothing to do with Raiders now, thankfully. Its about where the object(skull?) for this movie is/was and they went there to get it.

The Ark was put there aswell but that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, its the other object at the roswell base the crystal skull.

[Threshold]

I'm sure I'm late to the game of 'chiming in with your thoughts on the teaser', but, what the hell, it's the internet... Everybody gets to talk!

Having just watched RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and THE LAST CRUSADE back-to-back last night, I think that based on what I've seen in the teaser trailer, that Spielberg & Lucas kind of forgot what franchise they were dipping back into. The reason that the first three films are so highly regarded is the fact that despite their being filmed in the 80s (a decade notorious for having the most dated movies ever) it was instantly a timeless classic, having no real home in terms of the time period during which it was made. It seemed to just belong in the catalogue of great cinema.

The films were ruggedly charming with their bare bones simplicity, yet enticing characterizations and epic stories. They were B-movies that knew what they were and relished in that camp, which made it almost completely non-campy.

This new one, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, feels like it was made right after Transformers. Like it came off of the same assembly line. Harrison Ford, god bless him, looks terrific. It's such a thrill to see him back in the role. Yet it feels different (again, this is just going off of the mediocre teaser trailer, I could be totally wrong come May 22nd) in scale, tone, and production. This doesn't resemble the guerilla films that the first two (and third, to a bit of a lesser extent) were. It feels like it was made for 2008... which goes against what I always found most alluring about the Indiana Jones franchise... timelessness.

It could be good. Shia might not talk that much. Karen Allen could be the same spitfire gal she was in Raiders... Who knows. All I know is that I was hoping to get amped up for this movie by the teaser. But all it did was leave me wondering why they awoke such a magnificent, slumbering beast.

[JohnRico]

Not recently I think.

Im looking for a site that obviously wont **** me over the first chance they get. How about movieposters.com ? I really like alot of allposters TV posters I can see myself ordering a few

[Rocker22]

[DoctorJones]

They sure are making a lot of toys for this film's release. It's kind of weird that Wave 1 is Raiders of the Lost Ark and Wave 2 is Crystal Skull and Wave 4 is Temple of Doom.

I would hardly call any of the first 3 indy's guerilla films. They all had the look and budget of blockbuster summer flicks. Maybe due to age they look a little rougher, but they were always meant to make big BO.

[DoctorJones]

It's just weird ordering.

Skull has aimed to be the closest to Raiders, not to mention the continuity by bringing back Marion. Crusade is most iconic of the lot after Raiders, because it had Henry Senior as well as Sallah, Brody and the Nazis. Doom is the least popular of the past films. I think it made sense to arrange the toy line waves in this manner.

Eh, gotta say I disagree. the first time I watched the trailer I was floored. It instantly felt like Indiana Jones...and this is coming from someone who is a major fan of the original 3.

[GhostPoet]

now...in the next Indy film...Indy's sidekick should be a monkey! then we throw in a secret nazi group...and the monkey will fling poo.

Oh! And there will be a dance scene.

Yes! It's brilliant!!

no doubt there would be much rejoicing by fans.

It'll be like Passion of the Christ 2 from Family Guy.

[HUMAN]

It's amazing how everyone can be so quick to judge the entire movie off of this teaser when it only shows a few quick images with some music and about three or four lines of dialog.

And Spider-Fan... you have an SM3 avvy, so don't judge this movie yet. Especially one made by Spielberg.

[CorpusBlack]

Yeah, Spider-Fan. I don't know if I pointed it out yet, but you have a SM3 avvy. :grin:

I love Spielberg, but face it, his newer movies are not near what his movies used to be. Heck, WOTW and The Terminal were crap. I have many problems with this production. IMO, they should have recast Indy and started over. This I think will be a trainwreck.

And SM3 ROCKED!!! I LOVED IT!!! Make fun all you want.

[scifiwolf]

One could say that Sam Raimi's newer movies aren't waht they used to be.

[The Joker]

This movie looks great. The only problem I have with the teaser it the over-abundance of CGI. But the action looks good, and the humor looks spot on (Damn! I thought that was closer!).

I'm just messing w/ you man. I actually didn't mind SM3 (although SM2 was far far superior in every way). I don't think Indy 4 will be a train wreck. It's going to make money regardless if it's good or bad however. So even if it is ****, it will still be deemed successful. Spielberg still has it IMO. WOTW was crap but I did like 'The Terminal'. Other than less than a handful of films, I can't think of any other Spielberg films I haven't enjoyed.

Some have said he's lost that adventerous touch he had in the mid 70's(Jaws,Close Encounters ) to 1989 Last Crusade

I also disliked The Lost World. But, Spielberg's movies since 2000 just have not been near what they once were, and even 2 of them I hated. I don't care what the movie makes, but I still think it will suck, thus why I will consider it a trainwreck. WOTW made money, but it was a trainwreck.

And yes, SM2 was better than SM3...SM2 is my favorite comic movie, and one of my personal faves.

This movie looks great. The only problem I have with the teaser it the over-abundance of CGI. But the action looks good, and the humor looks spot on (Damn! I thought that was closer!).

The CGI is one of my major problems...plus, the trailer was bland.

LOL, that is really clever :whatever:

There is a lot of truth in that. His recent movies just haven't had that same since of wonder since Jurassic Park I'd say.

[Hunter Rider]

Minority Report, WOTW, Catch me of if you can and Munich are some of his best movies IMO and this looks amazing.

'Catch Me If You Can' and 'Munich' were two of his best EVER. Both of which came out post 2000.

[Spider-Fan]

Minority Report was good, WOTW sucked, CMIYC was very good, Munich was great (but not what Indy needs to be), and I enjoyed AI a lot. But, these movies don't have the feel Indy needs. They are quite different. Based on his more recent work, I don't see the wonder/humor the movie needs, and I feel a recasting and new crew would have made a better Indy movie.

I cant possibly see how this would be any better. It would just be the same movie they have now without Ford.

How you compare Terminal to Indiana Jones is beyond me. There two completely different movies and WOTW was fast tracked between projects so obvious faults would come about, it wasnt great but it was far from crap.

Spielberg, Lucas, and Ford created Indy. They know more than you, me, and anybody else about the project. The pessimism has to end, I have complete faith in the team and am happy in the direction of the project.

So just because nothing in his recent catalog reflects Indy's style, to you, means that he can't pull off what he's pulled off three times already?

[Kevin Roegele]

Speilberg's sense of wonder has been replaced by his sense of grim forboding.

Spielberg pre-Schindler's List was almost a different person.

Spielberg is not as good as his last film. Hes better. God forbid he try other tones/elements/moods to add to his direction style. Hes pratically the only director not to pigeon-hole himself in a certain genre or style

I hated WOTW and The Terminal was different, I agree. But, all of his movies post 2000 have pretty much been different from what Indy needs to be.

A recasted Indy would not have to deal with a 60+ year old Indy, and would be just another story from the same era (only new actors), which I feel would be a better movie than rehashing the father/son stuff again in this one, and showing Indy's age. It is a bad idea, and I have been against since this movie was announced. Just because someone created a character doesn't mean all their stories about the character are good (see Thomas Harris on Hannibal Rising and Hannibal).

The Lost World was his last movie to have the tone Indy needs...and it sucked. He needs that sense of wonder back. I don't think he has it.

Spielberg is not as good as his last film. Hes better. God forbid he try other tones/elements/moods to add to his direction style. Hes pratically the only director not to pigeon-hole himself in a certain genre

Thing is he has been out of this elemenet too long...just like this sequel has taken too long to be made.

Spider-Fan, you're bringing up a lot of valid points, many of which I agree with. I think where you're losing credit with your perspective is that you've decided not to like the movie, regardless of the end product.

If the end product is good, I will note that it is. Good example was Pirates 2. I thought it would suck and they had nothing left after CotBP, but I loved DMC...now I did hate AWE, but that was not my example, lol.

[Matt Murdock]

Indiana Jones is nothing without Harrison Ford. :o

[Spider-Fan]

Indiana Jones is nothing without Harrison Ford. :o

Why? Bond has had various actors play the part, and Indy is often said to be the American Bond. Ford (like Connery) may be the best to play him, but that doesn't mean we can't get a suitable replacement (like they did with Bond several times).

Okay, all I'll say then is try and hold out a little hope. But I'll definitely back some of your reservations. My main one is echoed by others, in questioning whether Steven can instill wonderment in his movies. I thought AI is the most recent movie which should've had it, and it fell short. Here's hoping that Kingdom can restore it.

So you want to see something different but youdont want to see something different:huh:

You dont want the father/son thing rehashed, but you want the same age, same era, same adventures as before. Ford has done more action than he ever has on an Indy film, Spielberg know how to implement CGI into a movie and mix it well.

Icould care less you dont like WOTW since you agreed that you liked his other films of the time. It doesnt mean hes out ofhis element, it means he wants to try newthings. Everyone knows the Jurassic Parkmovies were only made because Spielberg had fun making them, he could care less what you thought.

Thomas Harris isnt the same because unlike Hannibal, Indy is a collaborative effort worked on for a long period of time to get it right instead of quikly writing up stories just so they can make more movies which is what Harris did.

[The Joker]

Anyone who says Indiana Jones would be good without Harrison Ford automatically loses all credebility in my book. Bond had different actors true, but no one till Craig was even fit to hold Sean Connerys hat in the role, so that's really not a good example.

Besides, with seeing his age, we now have 3 totally seperate periods of Indy movies. Young Indiana Jones with the old TV series, Indy in his prime with the original 3, and now Indy in his later years with the new one. It's a nice way to go.

Nothing would please me more than to be wrong on this matter (since I love the Indian Jones movies). I am leaving room to be proven wrong, but I am just saying I can't walk into the theater expecting Indiana Jones to be back to what he once was.

[Matt Murdock]

Ford defined the role. Ford is the only man to play the part of Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones is an iconic character in the sense that when you think of him, you think of Ford in the jungle with a fedora and whip. Bond is iconic because when you think of him, you think of a suave, slick spy. There have been too many bonds over the past twenty years to implicitly match the name Bond to one of their faces. There's only ever been one Indiana Jones. :up:
