What same thing do you have in mind? Give me one example of what Indy is doing the same in this movie with the limited knowledge you have about the current film. Things like "another adventure" don't count.
What makes Iron Man more exciting than Indy?

How about his enemies? Or how about the car stunt? Oh, but what about the artifact chasing?
Man, so many to choose from!

Better action, better acting(excusing Ford, obviously), better story, something not seen in theaters before, and generally badass on all sides.

Ok, this age thing is annoying me now. Newsflash - 60+ is no longer considered 'old'. People in their 60's are far more capable physical wise then they were, say, 20 years ago? it's a fact.
For the love of Christ! NO ONE IS COMPLAINING THAT HE'S TOO OLD!
How many times do I need to say that?

Don't judge a film by its trailer, or at least wait for the full trailer to come out. I've seen a number of shitty trailers and the films turned out rather good. Same for amazing trailers turning out crap.
Or how about I ignore the film, and watch something not riding on a movie franchise made decades ago, and ended in a way where a sequel was not necessary?

Better acting? You are aware that Cate Blanchett, Jim Broadbent, Karen Allen, Ray Winstone & -the best of them all - John Hurt are in Indy? That's not even mentioning that Shia Lebeauf is turning into quite a fine dandy thespian. By other Summer blockbuster standards, Iron Man has a good ensemble - but this good? No way.

Agreed. You aint' beating that line-up!

well, he has been in my house more than most of my friends. Whether he is aware of it or not we are homie's. When ever i get caught in the middle of a forest fire i yell "Harrison, i need your whirly bird ass!!"

His enemies are russians not nazi's. What car stunt? you mean the one he pulled off in ROTLA? I can 100% assure you that won't be seen in this upcoming movie. Artifact chasing is part of the "adventure." You "love" Indy which makes me believe you liked the first three films. They were all similar to one another, as is this film to the other three. Steven said he made sure to stick the the formula of success. If you "loved" the last three why not like this one?
Yeah, so many..so many stupid examples you provided. Try again.
Ah yes, better action and acting. And you got this notion from what? The trailer? You haven't watched either of the two movies yet, so you can't really comment on the action. The same goes to the rest you provided. I'm sorry to say pal, but I think the world is on my side when I say Indiana Jones is far on top of the badass scale compared to Iron Man.
EDIT: On second thought, I doubt you enjoy Indiana Jones in general. Factoring in your lame reasons for not wanting to watch the movie, of course.

So instead you're going to see a film riding on the success of a comic-book first published decades ago - where an adaptation is not neccesary - by the Director of 'Elf' and 'Zathura,' with second-rate-Cate-Blanchett Gwenyth Paltrow, Get Rich or Die Trying' lumiere Terence Howard and Downey Jr. in one of his least exciting roles to date. As good as that ensemble is, despite their faults, you think they can match up to a franchise - with a lot more depth than Star Wars truth to be told - whose main character - with a lot more depth than Han Solo also - can be distinguished purely from his silhoutte?
Paramount are just laughing though; they are distributing both.
