Indiana Jones may meet his end in next film?

[Solo4114]

Sure! The token survivor, man! Any guy who makes it through the Death Star 1, Battle of Hoth, and helps destroy the Death Star 2 is either a damn good pilot, insanely lucky, or both.

The problem with Shila is that when he's on screen he over acts while at the same time trying to play it natural. He's like a poor attempt to do Ferris Bueller with that doey-eyed glazed expression.

I acknowledge no films beyond Last Crusade.

Me neither. NO films, of any make or franchise, whatsoever.

 

[nightrider]

Can't stand KOTCS, but I don't think Shia had any part in it. I thought he was great in Money Never Sleeps. KOTCS was just a terrible story with terrible dialogue, which is nothing out of the ordinary for Lucas.:lol

 

[Jannix Quinn]

I think the god-awful russian acting was worse than Shia. Don't get me wrong, I hate him too, but the russians were worse.

 

[Hedjii72]

Actually, worse than Shia... worse than the Russians... worst of all was, sadly, Marion Ravenwood. The film was doing fine till she shows up with her hammy acting. And of course, she was brought back because she was a fan favorite - a good example of 'be careful what you wish for' if ever there was one.

I don't necessarily LOVE KOTCS either, but I get it. I get what Lucas and Spielberg intended - It's an homage to the b-movies of the era it takes place in, the 1950s... just as the originals (especially Raiders) are homages to the b-movies of the 30s. Think about it: In the 30's, the b-movies/Saturday matinee serials were things like Zorro, King Solomon's Mines, etc. In the 50s, the b-movies/Saturday serials were UFO/Alien films. AND, nuclear warfare was on EVERYONE'S mind. Heck, even the harsh, artificial lighting of the opening scene at the hanger is reminiscent of some of the work done in those 50s b-movies.

The other 3 have their fair share of corny scenes too. The mine car chase? Really, how feasible is it that the mine car Indy and company were in could jump a huge gap in the tracks, and land back on the track? The biplane scene in Last Crusade drives me crazy... couldn't they at least turn on a fan to have some wind blowing their hats? And honestly... Indy rode on top of a submarine to the secret Nazi island? Each film has it's own "flying refrigerators".

Does KOTCS feel like the other three, especially Raiders? Of course not. Did I enjoy Shia? Heck no. Did I LOVE seeing Harrison back in the jacket and fedora? Abso-freakin'-lutely. And if he does it again, I'll see it too. And I'd be willing to bet nearly everyone who is a fan of the originals will, too.

I am with 5150, here heaven help me !

Can we just pretend the last Indy film didn't happen???

I'd prefer remember seeing Indy ride off into the sunset with his father and closest friends at the end of The Last Crusade--- even as much as I liked Marion, too.

UFO conspiracies + archaeology + unknown sons do not make a good film...

Even Connery bowed out more gracefully as Bond.

I really don't know who's more at fault for the terrible plot of Crystal Skulls. This has Lucas written all over it and yet I know Spielberg is a big UFO conspiracy nut, too.

As for Ford, the guy's a notorious curmudgeon. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he asked for Indy to be killed off... not as if he's had better ideas with what to do with characters that made him a celebrity!

the las film had a few good points but only a few. if they did make no.5 i hope they decide to end it and not continuing the franchise untill its not profitable. go out with a memorable ending not just pittering out of existance only being remebered for giant cg ufo
