In Crystal Skull the stage was overcrowded. Oxley was just a deus ex machina; whenever a problem showed up he always knew what to do instead of having Indy figuring a way out (the indios scene, for example, would have been way more engaging if they had been in real trouble and had to find a way out à la Dead Man's Chest; instead we had them use the skull and that was it).
Indy's son was pretty much pointless and only made the film's reputation worse.
Rubbish, he should fight mohammedans.
Well there’s no way for me to reasonably go back and find the post, but several people have for right or wrong posted that once the Cruise era comes to a conclusion they would like the team aspect be brought to the forefront.
I actually think they balance the two beautifully.
As far as Bond, I definitely want less active team involvement, with the focus bring put back on Bond.
I never knew that...this is because of the Shanghai opening ?
Interesting...thanks for the heads-up @talos7
And then of course Crystal Skull is 1957.
Back when Harrison did the cameo on Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, that was 1950
Facinating.....so what year will Indy 5 be based in ,or has nothing been said ?
Temple of Doom:
The Last Crusade:
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull:
So with how great Harrison still looks, Indy 5 could technically be in the early 60’s and it would be believable
I’m hoping they’ll stay away from the 70’s.
Maybe Indy will see a marquee with From Russia With Love and gives it a curious look as if there’s something familiar... ;)
There could be a subtle wink at Connery , who was Bond back then and him also being Indy's dad in TLC.
According to the interviews in the Temple of Doom DVD, Lucas and Spielberg wanted Indy to have a new girl in every movie, and this encouraged them to make ToD a prequel, as that meant they wouldn't have to explain Marion's absence (that, and the fact they did not want Nazis as villains again).
Spielberg confirmed it's going to be set in the '60s. Some people speculated Indy 5 might be a throwback to the Bond movies (or spy stories in general) since the first three were a throwback to the serial adventures from the '30s and Crystal Skull was a reference to the sci-fi stories from the '50s.
"Crystal Skull" is probably my third favorite Indy film. My least favorite is "Last Crusade", because it didn't seem as original as the other three films.
Dude, I could understand liking KOTCS as much as LC, but that's as understanding as I'm willing to be here. ;)
Spielberg says next Indiana Jones should be a girl.
