Shia LaBoeuf says Indy 5 coming

[Agent0028]

I like TLC as well as the other three and I place KOTCS below it. The thing with KOTCS is that its different than what I (and I suspect many others) expected from an Indy movie. It's not bad, just different.

 

[YoNoSe]

KOTCS is very much the sequel to TLC. My list goes ROTLA, TLC, KOTCS, TOD but only because I find the brief monkey rescue less objectionable than non-stop Kate Capshaw.
Regardless, new Indy = ticket bought.

 

[Entropy]

What makes KotCS crap and by far the worst of the series isn't old Indy, aliens, Mutt, nuking the fridge, or even the stupid moments like the Tarzan cgi monkey attack. It's the extremely shoddy story structure and awkward, foolish, inelegant way it unfolds. They could have told a smart, well-crafted 50s alien adventure but they fell remarkably short of the mark. It's sad when Tomb Raider, The Mummy and National Treasure all do a better job. If it didn't have Harrison, Spielberg or the Indy brand, which blinds many, I think more people would recognize it for the piss poor Tia Carrere's "Relic Hunter" story that it is.

i'd like to see indy 5 set a few years b4 kotcs like tod was set before raiders. that way indy isnt married so we can get a new female interest for him, and there will be no mutt either, (even tho i didnt mind him to be fair). this also give the possiblility of having henry jones snr back if connery can be persuaded (unlikely i know)
but we need more indy in the next film, i felt he took too much of a back seat in some of the action scenes to mutt-he didnt do anything for most of the the jungle chase!

id love to see a cameo from a grown up short round tho, the true hero of tod!

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking, they need to do a prequel to KOTCS.

 

[The Ween]

I enjoyed the last one, granted not the best of the lot, and I'll be happy to see another one!

As Indy said to Belloq in Raiders, Now you're getting nasty.

In my opinion, KOTCS is as good as TLC..

It definitely crushed Tomb Raider, movie was WEAK. I definitely like TLC over KOTCS and probably liked KOTCS of The Mummy, even though the Mummy was REALLY good, not sure where it ranks with National Treasure. I would say National Treasure over KOTCS even though I think Cage is a tool now.

 

[NASEDO]

I dont know what to think about a new Indy. I'm happy to see a new movie, but after KOTCS, I think the new one will be the same crap. It just seems Lucas & Speilberg have lost it. But wouldn't mind to see Indy find Atlantis.

I'm simply talking plot, story and pacing, the whos and whats & how it unfolds. I will concede that KotCS is not worse than but more on par with the Tomb Raider scripts.

Isolated scenes and images are solid on their own, especially towards the beginning. Indy talking about "dad and Marcus", the motorcycle chase, the mushroom cloud, etc. The B story of Indy being alone/getting family works alright but the A story falls flat, leaving behind the slag of bloated, unnecessary action sequences - see cgi attack monkeys & kung fu skeleton grave warriors - impotent villains, shoddy comic relief, clunky dialogue, and nonsensical ham-fisted exposition.

i just hope ur spielberg in disguise!

Prequel is the best idea.

Temple of Doom was a prequel.

You get rid of Shia and that crap, get rid of Marion, I love Karen, I've met her, she acted horridly in CS.

Bring back Sallah or something, and Jim Broadbent could still be in it.

Prequel or don't even bother making it, I don't want him running around with Mutt and Marion again.

 

[The Boot]

Of course, considering that the source of all this speculation was a quote from Shia, I think it's safe to say that any notion of a prequel can be thrown out.

It's Mutt Williams or bust, fellas.

 

[a-dev]

Apart from the vine swinging scene what spoiled KOTCS for me was the talkiness and interminable exposition. The scene in the diner was followed by a similar scene in Indy's house followed by more talk in the asylum followed by more talk at the tomb followed by more talk in the tent...

Yeah. The film bored me to tears for much of its running time. And if it didn't bore me I found it difficult to enjoy the action because f>>>ing Marion kept grinning all the way through it!!

Yes, smile away while you endanger yours and your son's life by deliberately driving your vehicle off a cliff, somehow knowing that the big tree branch you land on will gently lower you to the ground safely. Look I know that ridiculous unsurvivable things happened in the previous films too but the characters generally didn't get themselves into these situations on purpose and giggle away as though they knew for a fact they were going to survive! It totally removes all sense of peril and therefore a viewer's investment in what they're watching when it seems even the characters know that they are in no danger of dying. Sorry, it was just a bad film.

Indy 5? How about an Indy 4 reboot.

 

[tbay]

I'll get excited about it if they get rid of Shia. Shia = Jar Jar Binks.

 

[Darth Madden]

I vote for bust then.

But he loves to read! And he knows how to fence! And he cries!

I cry too but im not in every other major summer movie between the years 2008 to 2012

Actually, the idea of a TOD-style prequel isn't a bad one...an adventure with Indy and Mac set before the events of KOTCS...no Mutt, no Marion, no Ox...would be cool if it had a bit of a darker edge too...there was mention of Indy and Mac being double agents....

 

[Something Sexy]

As much as I would love another Indy I am with the others now, even prequel or no Indy at all.

 

[Captain Britain]

Apart from the monkey vine scene Shia just wasn't that bad. He was a decent character mostly well acted, and certainly better acted than Mac.

Apart from the hat scene at the end of KOTCS the other big pointer to Indy 5 is the fact that Indy gets made Dean. I guess Indy 5 would have Shia enrolling at Marshall College with Indy as Dean, then going off on some adventure while Marion stays home and bakes cookies...the only other way of involving all of them is for it to involve Abner Ravenwood in some way.

They should make it a search for Shambala where Abner's been the whole time, like the old Marvel comics story.
