even if that is the case, it is a fan movie. Speilberg said himself that it was not just his sons nagging him to make another, but the decades worth of cries from the fans that really made him and Lucas truly consider another movie. Of course it will be Indiana doing much of the same thing he has done in the previous other movies. That is not the point. You would be going to see Indy 4 to see Indiana jones character once again as well as escape into some top notch action/adventure. It is much of the same reason people enjoy James Bond. It is the character they enjoy as well as the situations he gets himself out of. The James Bond movies for all intents and purposes are the same thing with each installment...,it is a fan thingI would also put much faith in Harrisons decision to accept the Script. Ford is not one to take a Script on face value. If he thought it was good enough to put himself through the physical work and risking his stature. Im sure it will, at the very least feel like an Indiana Jones movie and not just a parody of a once young and strong character
I love Indy, but watching him doing the exact same thing, only now with old jokes, is just boring to me.
Iron Man, on the other hand, has me excited to the max.

Well i hope Iron Man does do the same old now boring "guy becomes super hero takes on the villian rescues the girlfreind and sets everything up for part 2 whch will include far more action now they have got the origin out of the way in pt 1 " with a bit more style than 75% of the other Super Hero flicks that have come out recently
Since the death of Heston and apart from Eastwood INDY is the ony beleivable action hero out there for me
ROLL ON MAY!

out of nostalgia, Indiana jonesOut of interest and expectance of quality, Iron Man.
The trailer for Indy didnt do anything for me. Seeing Harrison in the fedora was nice to see again, but the overall trailer looked bad. For some reason i trust favreau and downy to deliver more than i do harrison ford and spielberg. I would never expect myself to say that either haha
Your post almost expresses my thoughts exactly . . . almost. You took the words right out of my mouth, except instead of referring to Harrison Ford as 'Harrison', I would have said 'Mr. Ford.'

Too old, ha ha. What rubbish. You can see in the trailer that they play with that angle.
They do use that to the movie's advantage, i'm sure, but it still doesn't deny that he is, in fact, old. I liked seeing Indiana Jones as a swashbuckling adventurer. Now he's lost a step, and it kind of kills it for me.

Well, you've got your mind set it seems, so fair enough, but the dilemma that Indy is now 65 or so and how they will address that in the film is what I'm looking forward too. Ageist.

Iron Man does indeed follow that scenario, but he does it Stark style.
And it always feels good to see the hero fulfill his destiny and save the day.

Who said they couldn't. For the billionth time, that's not my point.
My point is that the only really new thing is that he's older. I could watch the old schools films for half the price of a ticket, and just enjoy what the new one will most likely not be as good as.
You don't really have a very good point though. Y'know, Indy's adventures are serialised to an extent like the pulp B movie's that inspired it, so much so that it doesn't matter if it is the same Chase The McGuffin malarkey; it is still the nuts. Any film that has Spielberg in its credits is a Must Watch by my standards, that may be a flawed logic considering some of the poorer films he has been associated with, but in my opinion it is worth it (considering he and Lucas changed Hollywood Cinema more than anyone since Selznick.)
To someone like me it seems you're just getting angsty over all the hype.

So, I'm angsty because I noticed that everything Indy did in the trailer was almost exactly what he did before?
I'd rather save my ticket money than pay $10 for something I could watch at home. That sound reasonable to me.
