Harrison Ford Returning for 'Indiana Jones 5'?

I am down. they fixed Indy after doom. so why not again. I for one do not think skull is as bad as everyone says. It has moments of greatness. Get rid of the aliens and bring on religious overtones again and we will be in for a good ride.

im down... there doing it soon so ford should move like he did in the last one which was great.. um jessica? apparently this isnt news that nobody wanted to hear...

i mean wtf the movie actually got ggood to great reviews and if i recall everybody on this site gave it at least good reviews too!?!?!?

so whats the deal... jumping on the internet hateful fanboy bandwagon???

oh and i loved temple of doom too, so if kingdom was the temple the next will be the crusade? cool....

which mean less pulpy, less creative and less edgy but thats what the masses of sheep want so whatever... crusade was able to be amazing without it being any thing new...

My biggest issue with the last movie was that it reduced Indiana Jones to a spectator for the final act. Fix that next time around, and I am down.

"But, I guess we can take comfort in the fact that no matter what those two come up with this time, it certainly couldn't get any worse than what was ... or can it?"

You're forgetting this is the George Lucas that created Jar-Jar. Oh, it can get worse.

Agree or disagree, I'm getting tired of hearing how bad Crystal Skull was. Let it go, people.

i'm curious about how they will do the fifth movie. Personally I thought the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull wasn't that bad. Sure the thing with the interdimensional beings (that's what the crew called it) was a bit far fetched but it was all in fun and I'm not saying its as great as the original trilogy but still, lay off a little.

Personally I think Spielberg and Lucas were kind of in the mood to make a 50s science fiction movie nostalgic of the ones from the 50s and i thought the tone for that was great. Its just that Indiana Jones didn't quite fit. Nothing to get upset about though.I wouldn't really mind if it was the same tone again and its possible that Spielberg and Lucas were just trying to get that out of their system but who knows. Either way, I'm ready for a rip roaring time : }

P.S. for all the people who think George Lucas is now a hack, take a chill pill. He is doing a thing or two that I'm not really liking either but he shouldn't be completely hated because of that. Plus, if any of you guys wanted, you could gather up your friends and make some movies that are nostalgic of the older ones you love with a video camera. I'd be doing it myself but I;m busy this summer.
Double P.S. sorry this post is so long.

This is like Cowbell but in reverse...

Nobody's taking away from his earlier work, but his latest stuff has really screwed the pooch. Everything in "Revenge of the Sith" was pretty much horrific.

Are you all insane? Take a few minutes and read or watch some old George Lucas interviews cause I'm sure young Lucas would have called his older self a hack and kicked his own ass.

Lucas became exactly what he fought his entire youth against.

I never understood the hate for Crystal Skull. Was it because it had aliens? I thought they fit the alien thing in pretty well with Indy and made it seem like it belonged. At least it wasn't yet another religious relic. Don't get me wrong Crusade and Ark were great but I would call BS if they could yet another religious artifact to give supernatural powers. I liked Crystal Skull, not more than Ark or Crusade but I did like it and I'm very excited for a 5th film. Maybe people should actually try to enjoy movies instead of seizing on the one or two things that aren't so great and using that as a basis for yet another "Worst. Movie. Ever." rant.

I didn't think the aliens were so bad, it was the CGI monkeys that really sucked, otherwise i thought it was ok. Certainly not great, though, and barely good.
That said, I'm still down for a new one...

I'd be able to tolerate and even enjoy Lucas' latest movies if they weren't so friggin' BORING! It used to be that an Indy movie got most of the exposition out of the way in the beginning and committed the rest of the film to action, suspense, and great character interaction. So why did they think it best to have Indy tossing gunpowder into the air, standing around talking in the tomb, and sitting down to stare at the skull most of the time? What happened to the booby traps, the whip, and the sense of adventure rather than a history lesson? It's like the big CGI battles between robots and clones; Lucas has given me no reason to care about what's going on.

Hate on Crystal Skull all you want, it was still infinitely better than Temple of Doom. Personally, I'm looking forward to Indy 5.

Okay, time to face facts here: Last Crusade was crap. The whole thing played as little more than a parody of Raiders. Sallah and Marcus were played as hapless buffoons. Indy's Daddy issues were a bunch of junk-psychology that had no place in a rousing 30s adventure. The opening sequence expects us to accept that all the elements of Indy's adult life were introduced in a single afternoon. The whole thing is a series of cheap one-liners ("He chose...poorly") and campy sight gags (the library stamp bit makes me cringe every time).

By contrast, Crystal Skull, despite a few missteps, felt much more like a true Indy adventure. If you can accept escaping a plane crash in a rowboat, or escaping God's wrath by, ahem, closing your eyes, you have no business complaining about the fridge scene. And all the incessant whinging about those brief cutaways to the prairie dogs? Eesh, how nitpicky can you get?

All of this hate for Indy...I'm really glad to know I wasn't the only one who enjoyed Crystal Skull. I'm getting tired of defending this movie, for the simple fact that I feel like it either worked for people or it didn't, and far be it from me to try and force it on you. For me though, Indiana Jones was the peak of my childhood heroes, and I'll go sit and watch these guys churn them out even if they promise to suck. I can't ignore Indy...he's still one of my all time favorites. On top of all that, I liked Crystal Skull. Was it as good as the original trilogy? No way. Neither did Live Free Or Die Hard, but that doesn't mean I wasn't psyched out of my mind to see John McClane again.
