    Oh hell yes. Once the Indiana Jones theme started blasting out, it turned awesome. Also, he's like the fucking Bionic Commando with all that whip swinging.

    CGI really?

    Indy always just seemed such a grounded hero. Getting by on wits and surliness, rather than on massive explosions and acrobatic feats. It felt more like a Die Hard trailer than an Indy trailer.

    I mean, I like Die Hard and all, but that's a whole 'nother world.

    Have you ever seen an Indiana Jones movie before? Boxing on the deck of a ship listing in terrible storms, riding sidesaddle on the barrel of a tank as it plummets off a cliff, walking across invisible bridges, the fucking scene when they open the ark

    The entire series is a ridiculous over the top stunt sequence. That's what makes it great.

    But even when there was crazy shit going down, none of the stuff he did was superhuman. It was gutsy, it took luck, and it took wits, but he was at least grounded in reality even when the environment wasn't.

    And as for the bridge/the ark - in both of those examples, he made it through because of research and cleverness. Not from magical whip acrobatics or gravity-defying leaps.

    He's this interesting blend of "action hero" and "not really an action hero."

    Man nothing in the trailer bothered me except for that one shot of the jeep going through all those boxes but then again they've got a couple more months to iron this stuff out and it'll probably look a lot better then.

    It's actually a good question, although I kinda feel like Indiana Jones is a serial and thus there can be an arbitrary number of adventures with little concern for continuity (as most adventures end with a reset-button segment where Jones hides or otherwise gives up the magical treasure).

    EDIT: The Holy Grail is pretty much impossible to top, though.

    I realize I'm stating and then explaining the obvious, but my point is that I feel like "why is this being made" is a good question in general. In this case, I also feel like there's a pretty decent-ish answer.

    I figured it was because its a fun and successful formula that produces enjoyable movies and let's face it, we're running out of time when we can make these with original cast members.
