People forget about River Phoenix who played the young Indy in the Last Crusade. He would've been a perfect replacement for Ford.
think. think. think.
isn't river uhm.
dead?
hoo hoo hoo HOO he surely is my portly pal
Shia LaBouf was actually hilarious and well played in Even Stevens. But if you notice, he played the same exact character in I, Robot that he did in Constantine, that he did in Transformers, that I bet he will play in Indiana Jones.
You know....the smart alec, naive, over confident, annoying sidekick, that gets into trouble and its okay because he's moderately humorous and over anxious about helping you.
I just came back from the theater dissapointed.
Sure it all looks awesome, but it just didn't do it for me anymore.
Looking forward to Han and Eagle Eye.
saw it last night.
i highly recommend it

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The most recent Indiana Jones film more than recouped its big budget with an estimated $311 million in global box office sales through the long weekend, according to studio estimates Monday.
Families went in droves to catch "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," a PG-13 adventure starring Harrison Ford as the whip- cracking archaeologist who took 19 years to return to the big screen.
Paramount Pictures estimated the action sequel made $151.1 million in the U.S. and Canada from Thursday to the holiday Monday and $143 million overseas, though not including Monday.
It marked the second biggest Memorial Day weekend opening ever, behind only "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," which made $153 million domestically from Thursday to Monday last year.
Nearly a third of the domestic audience was made up of parents with their children, said Rob Moore, president of Paramount Worldwide Distribution.
"Adults really drove this opening. This is one of their favorite franchises and they couldn't wait to take their kids with them," Moore said.
The film cost a reported $185 million to make, even with the principal talent—Ford, director Steven Spielberg and writer George Lucas—deferring their usual fees for a greater share of the profits.
The first three Indy movies raked in $1.2 billion worldwide.
Marketing costs were undisclosed, although the latest "Indiana Jones" received a major push from Paramount. DVDs of the first three movies were rereleased, they aired on TV days before the opening and huge billboards sprung up.
The final trailer for the movie rolled before the opening of Marvel Studios' "Iron Man," which was also distributed by Paramount, three weeks earlier.
"It's been a pretty good month," Moore said. "We started the month with 'Iron Man' and finished with 'Indiana Jones.'"
Other movies' receipts over the long weekend paled by comparison.
Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" slashed its way to $28.6 million, for a total $96.7 million over two weeks. "Iron Man" locked up third with $25.7 million in its third week for a total of $257.8 million.
The Wachowski brothers flick "Speed Racer," distributed by Warner Bros., crawled closer to the finish line with $5.2 million for fifth, bringing its domestic total to $37.4 million. It brought in $30 million overseas, and had yet to be released in major markets France, Russia, Japan and Australia.
The studio said it was not ready to wave the checkered flag on the film, which cost $120 million to make.
"If I had my druthers I'd have it in theaters for weeks and months to come," said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.' executive vice president of distribution.
For the year so far, domestic movie revenues are down more than 4 percent at $3.4 billion, with attendance off nearly 7 percent.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Monday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Tuesday.
1. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," $126 million (plus $25.1 million on Thursday).
2. "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," $28.6 million.
3. "Iron Man," $25.7 million.
4. "What Happens in Vegas," $11.2 million.
5. "Speed Racer," $5.2 million.
6. "Made of Honor," $4.2 million.
7. "Baby Mama," $4.2 million.
8. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," $2.2 million.
9. "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay," $1.2 million.
10. "The Visitor," $917,000.
i thought the new indy movie was decent...I definitely adjusted my expectations beforehand though. The character has changed a little bit since he's older and now sharing the spotlight with Shia (who i thought was fine). Indy couldn't act the same way he did in the first 3 movies because he was older, and all of a sudden had this new role as sort of a father teaching his son the ropes.
The movie was just average...doesn't really fit in with the others though. Indy wasn't as badass due to age and where his character was in life, and the Commies just aren't as "bad" of an enemy as the Nazis were. The stakes seem lower. Just made for an overall so-so performance. Harrison did a great job for his age though. Just have to look past some of the cheesiness and know that this movie isn't going to teach you life lessons, etc...
some people told me that Temple of Doom was better than this one. wow
I believe all three were better than this one. I watched it again and I have a little better opinion about it. I was still beaten by the story but I guess I love the first 20 minutes so much, I don't care about the rest. When they go to South America, the movie goes south.
I predict this movie will make a TON of cash as peewee posted earlier. But I think they're setting this up for making laboof the new Indy and thats downright disappointing. I think Harrison Ford can give them one more since the original plan was for five anyway and then thats it. End this franchise on a high and please, Hollywood, don't ruin it with an extended laboof or any remakes.
im with mono. i dont get what is with the Temple of Doom hate. a lot of people said it was their favorite one.
I like how you trashed the movie and yet still watched it again.
You have such great credibility.
Forced to watch it again, Pee Wee. The first time I couldn't believe my disappointment.
I don't know about you, but when I think a movie is , the last thing I want to do is see it again.
When I preach about how bad a movie is, seeing it again is ing pointless.
Telling everybody how bad a movie is because some guy posted a bad review about it in a blog and then watching it again because everyone else has been saying positive things about it and changing my opinion of it . . . . well, that would make me a bit of a bag.
Well you are what you eat but thats your problem not mine. I'll tell you what, for your birthday, I'll get you a shia leboof poster so you can hang it above your bed and rub one out to it every night. Will that makeup for my bad review and movie watching faux pa?
Nice retort.
I would've never guessed that you're 12 years old.
Good one, really.
That was nice.
I especially liked where you try to use that to deflect from the fact that you look like a dumbass bashing a movie and then seeing it again after saying how ty it was and then changing your opinion because all the cool kids like it.
You're not showing your age at all.
But, weren't you the one with a sexual fixation with Emile Hirsh?
So, you admit to it.
Thank you.
what if she had a nice rack and really wanted to see it again with you.
Then I would be posting about how I was sucking on her ties while the movie was on.
I wouldn't go back on my previous opinion on the movie.
That's just re ed.
I'm not re ed for not liking shia laboof movies and if its the cool kids that think his movies are cool, I'm glad I'm not a cool kid. Why are you so far up his ass?!?
You don't like Shia Labouf movies but on your second opinion, you liked the new Indiana Jones movie.
You continue to make so much sense.
And, you're right, you're not a cool kid.
You're re ed.
