I enjoyed the new movie too. Not sure why so many hated on it. I gues Aliens aren't as realistic as "spirits in an arc" or "cannibals living in underground tunnels" or "living forever after drinking from a wooden cup". I'll take another sequel.
It looks like development is moving forward for Indiana Jones 5 over at Steven Spielberg's offices. While the director, executive producer George Lucas and star Harrison Ford have all confirmed the past year that they've agreed on a story idea for the fifth adventure, it's been relatively quiet on the news front regarding the status of the next sequel. But scripting is going as we speak, Maniacs. So says co-star Shia LaBeouf who confirmed to ShowBizSpy he was called into Steven's office for the pitch.
“They’re script writing right now,” says Shia. “I got called into Steven’s office and he pitched a little bit to me and it sounds crazy, it sounds really cool.”
As far back as late 2008--right after the release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull--the core three (Ford, Lucas and Spielberg) have all maintained they have a decent idea for another adventure but it was all a question of scripting the story out in screenplay form before moving forward with the project. That seems to be underway if Spielberg is calling in Shia for pitch meetings.
Produced for a budget of $185 million, "Crystal Skull" arrived in theaters May 22, 2008. It debuted over the Memorial Day weekend with $100.1 million and went on to take $786.6 million worldwide that summer.

I don't know if I should be "cautiously optimistic" or not....yet.
It's sort of like Lewis Black's joke about Alzheimer's, Starbucks, and a place in Houston (I think) where there's one Starbucks across the street from another.
I no longer pay money to see movies featuring Shit-the-Beef. That includes the impending Transformers crap fest.
Noooooooo......and a sequel for South Park's Indy rapping movie will be waiting. The fourth film made the second look superior. And, that is saying a lot. Aliens? Really?
Just leave out the swinging monkies and sword fight on jeeps....A little less CGI for Indy.
Same here really. My only beef with the last one was the Tarzan scene. Good god, Steven and George need to get Tarzan out of their systems after inserting it into Return of the Jedi and Indy 4. I'd say the Nuke thing was a bit much too but Indy has survived silly things before...like jumping out of an airplane on a rubber raft, striking a mountain, and then falling off the mountain in the same raft. So...no monkeys next time Spielberg.
Beyond that..Crystal Skull was structured just like the first and third film. Opening chase sequence, story introduces Macguffin, another chase, enemy destroys itself with said Macguffin..and then closure.
I really liked the latest one as well, execpt for as Jarrod said "Tarzan Scene", well and Karen Allen's performance. It seemed like her medication was a little too high, or maybe her acting has gotten worse, but something was off. Its the worst of the 4 for sure but I love the others so much it would be hard to beat one of them, and I think Raiders is 3rd best so what do I know.
Cool.
Liked the new movie (but no new movie can't be as good as the originals) and would really like a new one.
