I sure we seen worse I didn't mind the last one. Never will there be anything like the first three. So good McDonald's sold them.

I think they're running out of scary/edgy titles.

If they really want to bring some excitement to the franchise, they just need to go all out.

Indiana Jones and the Peehole Full of Fishhooks (Which One To Pull First?!)

I'm fine with the original trilogy. Not every movie needs a franchise, a reboot, a remake, a reimagining, a return after twenty or thirty years, etc. Mangold is directing which is a positive though. He's the epitome of "solid director."

Looks cool to me.

Hollywood has been rebooting and remaking stuff since it started. But for some reason we have this belief it is a brand new thing and ruining the movies.

Well yes, but it happens more frequently now. Back then it made sense to remake a silent film like Ben Hur and give it the colorful "THIS IS HOLLYWOOD" treatment. We're now being served constant reboots, our childhood hero's back as 80 year old's trying to do what they did when they were 40, and remakes of films that only came out twenty years ago.

A24 seems to be the only studio allowing directors to use their own imaginations, so thank god for them. Hollywood and the studio system will always exist, but they're stuck in a deep nostalgia fever dream. As Tarantino said recently, he thought the '90s weren't a great decade for films overall, but compared to now, the '90s were a golden age.

Yeah, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would have been better by just casting someone else other than Shia Lebonehead as his son. That guy seems to scream in every movie he is in.

When you hire writers for reasons other than talent.... we seem to always get tired old reboots instead of new and interesting stories. Tarantino has said this is the worst decade of movies in US history. I tend to agree with him. We can't even make good superhero movies and they had decades of solid storylines to pick from to adapt and they went straight to modern feminist storylines. 86% of comic book fans were male and hollywood decided to **** on that 86% to try to get women interested in comic book stories.

The newest trailer just came out and it still looks like ****. Hollywood doesn’t know what made these movies and heroes special in the first place. Indy was a normal guy who got by with his wits, intelligence, and a bit of luck. Now he’s a freaking super hero. Oh and they’re gonna carry on the franchise with a female lead now… awesome.

How Kathleen Kennedy is still running Lucasfilm is beyond me. Also announced this week she’s doubling down with another “Rey” feature as the next SW movie.
Would love to know what George Lucas thinks about how the franchise has been handled.

I’d say pretty disgusted.

Of course, he didn’t have to sell but 4 billion is a whole lot of money. Still though, it’s like selling your lifelong home only to see the new owners trash it and paint it purple.

I hadn't watched Crystal Skull since it came out until last month. On my second viewing it wasn't as atrocious as I had remembered it. It is certainly the least of the 4. I will admittedly probably end up paying to go see this one.

Disney takes these beloved franchises and buys em up because they know these franchisees are cash cows. Then they proceed to **** all over that cash cow by shitting on those that made it a cash cow… the fans. If you’re so inclined to cater to the younger generation, then give those kids their own movies to watch. Stop taking movies we love and turning them into a parody of themselves.

It's amazing how these companies saw Tom cruise make bank on top gun sequel by giving fans exactly what made them love the movie.....then repeatedly do the exact opposite.

It defies any degree of rationale explanation. Are these execs really that stupid?
Yes, but Tom has control over how his movies are made. Harrison has no control like that.

Ignorance. They think they know what the fans want. These modern movies are just used to push the message nowadays.
