Hell yeah. I love raiders but the other two are more entertaining overall.
Wait is this serious? Holy shit.

Yes, indeed it is. You are referring to their release years, right? 1989 > 1984 > 1981 is indeed the order. Right?!
(Raiders won't be topped in my book, it's legit top classic movie material.)

Raiders is the best adventure film of all times. Crusade is a great cartoon remake of Raiders.
Of course he is being sarcastic.

Has to have Shia.

Spielberg desperately wants to make amends for The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but he'll most likely dig himself a deeper hole. God knows how this is going to turn out. Is Shia going to be in it? I like him more now than I did in 2008 or whatever year it was, since he's become better known as a demented meme more than anything, but I still don't want him anywhere near this film.
Oh, and if we're doing rankings then: Raiders=Last Crusade>Temple of Doom>>>>>>>the TV series>>>>Kingdom.
Seriously, Raiders and The Last Crusade are the two greatest movies ever made. They're on a par with each other.

Why lucas did not film a fourth indiana in the 90's?
Oh, I've read about some real crazy Lucas shit before so I wouldn't be surprised.
Edit: I didn't think he literally twisted his arm behind his back.

Gross.
Ouch. There goes all my hope.
Hopefully this guy was responsible for the diner and motorbike chase scenes and all the car sword fights, swinging with monkeys, weird double crossing and general aliens crap was all down to Lucas.
...
Shit.
Please movie gods let the plot make sense this time instead of being a mish mash of previous failed drafts.
- No ridiculous CG stunt double action scenes you couldn't do with real people.
- No CG vehicles/chases please
- No CG alien climax
- No trying to top yourself with one waterfall fall after another.
- No double-triple "does my character arc make sense to anybody" agent shenanigans
- Also no weird post-pro sheen on the image please, keep the image clear.

David Koepp writing literately drained any hope I had for this project. Ugh.
Yeah but he also wrote Jurassic Park. I also don't think that the script is one of Crystal Skull's weak points.
edit: I also have confidence that after the approach that was taken with TFA, that Lucasfilm will encourage more practical effects.

Fucking KNEW it was gonna be Koepp.

That just means he wants to redeem himself, too. They want to prove that Lucas, not the rest of the production team, was the problem with KotCS.
Considering even Bridge of Spy's had this, never going to happen with Spielberg.

Harrison Ford has zero personality anymore. He was really dry in SW:TFA, except for a couple 1-liners about Finn.
He's too old and his delivery of lines is really getting bad.
Now add to that a likely terrible script and you got another legacy-tainting disaster.

I'm interested.
All this negativity about Fords age is just crazy to me.
In basically every Force Awakens interview Ford was asked if there would be a Indy 5.
It's obvious people really want him back.
But as usual the internets is just full on negativity.
Ford IS Indy, as he grows older so does Indy. There's no rule that says Indiana Jones have to bounce around doing crazy stunts like a madman.
Ford is in pretty good shape and can probably run around, throw some punches and ride some horses still.
I would love for the movie to a bit more sombre with Indy reflecting on his mortality and going on a final important adventure.

Koepp may do fine, it's not written in stone. He's did some great scripts/movies. Y'all acting like Dr. Boll was announced.
Dino porn? Gross
Certainty an artifact of an ancient religion.
Raiders: Jewish artifact
Temple: Indian artifact
Crusade: Christian artifact
Kingdom: Mesoamerican artifact
There are hundreds of famous artifacts across the world that would make for great Indiana Jones stories.

Hell yes. Great news. They can recast mutt but leave indy alone

I fear it's just setting the stage for some Indiana Jones extended universe where we end up following new characters we don't care about.
I'd rather see Indiana Jones recast for a future movie than see Indiana Jones' friends.

Indy 5 will end with Mutt entering a top secret government cryosleep program so that he's woken up in present day in
But recasting Mutt would be a terrible decision... Why ruin a perfect character?

Lol so we find out Indy just randomly impregnates ladies to never talk to them again until the children are grown-up?
So I guess we will have loads of movies about Indy's kids

It would be a great launching point for the Indiana Jones Cinematic Universe.
In the 5th post-Indiana movie all of his known children team up to fight the return of the interdimensional beings, which have developed fascist leanings.

And 6th one concludes it by the arrival of Space-Shitler and Indy and his family of 100 kids (he didnt know off) fighting in a ground and space fight....
obviously Short-Round is the leader of the aliens

Yeah well, or that^^
That's really not encouraging. It could work, but I'd rather want them to take the SW route and leave the shit that didn't work behind. Mutt didn't work - he was miscast. La Beuf is good with certain character types, but the cool 50s kid isn't one of them.
The script was the least of Indy 4s problems, but it was a problem.
To double down on the mistakes of Indy 4 is the wrong route to take. And to double down on no recast of Indy is a mistake too. Ford is one of the most charismatic actors around if he wants to invest a bit into the role - but he isn't getting younger and Indy has the potential to go past Ford and Spielberg and back to the WW2 era. Passing the torch now and doing the Bond thing with endorsement of both Ford and Spielberg would go a long way.
Ah well, I'll always have the first three movies I suspect.

I just don't see how this could be good.
I'm actually fairly certain that Uncharted 4, a videogame, will have a better story and characters than this. Eh, maybe they'll prove me wrong. But does anyone even want this? Are there really hardcore Indy fans clamoring for a fifth movie?

Club Obi-Wan isn't just a fun Easter egg. It's actually a crucial hint at an important plot element later in the IJCU. When Darth Vader struck down Obi-Wan, he became more powerful than even the audience imagined, or George Lucas. He transceded space and time and his essence wound up in late 1800's Shanghai, where he quickly built up a small cult following of believers. Another fragment of Obi-Wan's essence traveled to the home dimension of the Interdimensionals, who were still searching for their lost ship. Once the IDBs were awakened by Indiana Jones and co. in the late 50's, Obi-Wan's Earth Fragment Prime (a second fragment, Earth Fragment Auxiliate, awoke in the 25th century, and became obsessed with stricter aspects of Jedi culture, forcing the inhabitants of Earth to follow his extreme teachings) guided the lost ship back to the Interdimensionals through direct collaboration with Obi-Wan I.D. Fragment Nadir.
Upon the reunion of the two fragments, the newly form Obi-Wan Fragmental Collection Alpha Maximus began to seek out other basal fragments, and ultimately coalesce. Upon the collection and assimilation of Earth Fragment Auxiliate the Collection underwent a massive shift in self-purpose, and began enslaving civilizations en masse, beginning with the Interdimensionals. However, seeing the unparalleled knowledge of the Obi-Wan Fragmental Collection, they quickly and willingly submitted to the cause.
A small fragment of the now massive whole, the former Earth Fragment Prime, remembered the once young boy who had accompanied a certain Indiana Jones in Shanghai circa the 1930's. With a twinge of nostalgic remembrance of the former Fragment's self, the sub-fragment of the Collective recruited the now adult "Mid-height Oblong", and promoted him to the public face of the Collective. This wasn't pure nostalgia however. Remembering the impressive resourcefulness of Mr. Jones both in Shanghai and at the site of the crashed Interdimensional ship, the Collective was hoping to forcefully incorporate the now ancient and prolifically bred Indiana Jones for the purpose of easing the conquering of Earth.

It'll be okay. I'm sure they have top men working on it.
it was the sole problem... script was a frankenstein mishmash of half baked ideas. i still couldn't even tell you what the crystal skull does, all the characters were just setpieces to a disney ride the entire second half (not that indy films were ever compelling character studies, but who remembers the "zany adventures" of mutt, the russian lady ect as opposed to brody, indy's dad, short round, ect)
IMO script was the issue. not so much nuked fridges, cgi, aliens, ect

Spielberg gave a new tidbit on the movie!

"I think this one is straight down the pike for the fans. The one thing I will tell you is Im not killing off Harrison [Ford] at the end of it."
Some rumor sites and message boards also seem to think that the plot will be based on

The legend of the sword in the stone. Like the old disney cartoon, which i think is too similar to the holy grail.
