It's sad when even Steven Spielberg has run out of ideas.

I haven't seen all of the Indiana Jones movies. The only ones I've seen are Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

He's made so many good movies that I think the man has earned the right to direct what he likes.

Personally, I'm kind of happy they're revisiting Indiana Jones. I've always felt iconic characters deserve proper sendoffs, and Stallone showed with Rocky Balboa that it can be done right... The truth is Indi should have just been left at the Last Crusade as that was a great film (might actually be my favorite of the trilogy), but now that Crystal is a thing a proper close to the franchise seems necessary again.

I'm not entirely sure it's fair to say he's run out of ideas either, as even when one revisits a franchise new ideas can still be instilled into them, which is hopefully what we see here. It's not as if anyone is really coming up with original stories anymore; the best one can do is give them a fresh coat of paint and context.

Spiel is like Star Wars. Creatively bankrupt for 30 years.

For God sake no aliens please.

I’m surprised the WSS remake is actually happening.

I'm gonna give it a chance, I know Spielberg don't do the same kind of masterpieces he used to do, but he still have some pretty damn good recent movies. I personally thought that Lincoln, Munique, Bridge of Spies and The Adventures of Tintim were awesome and I really think that The BFG is underated. I am also looking forward to Ready Player One.

Ready Player One looks good. It's a movie for gamers.

To me Indiana Jones had two paths it shoudl have taken.

1, End it at the trilogy

2. Make it like bond, where the actor changes and they continue the story (every 3-4 years or so a new one). There is so much that could have been told in the Indiana Jones universe.

But no they left the franchise dead for a couple decades or so to revive it for a weird move with Harrison Ford than again 10 year gap with Harrison Ford. They essentially put themselves in a hard spot where Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones.

So the only options now is, end the series, continue it with a new character not names indy, or reboot as it would be weird changing actors at this point considering indy is old now.
