A few things poked out at me.
The characters all seem to have some type of built-in ChatGPT that allows them to insta-solve any puzzle within seconds. I get they all hold doctorates in their field and they are very smart people. I also get that the movie can't have everyone break for 18 years...
I've been sitting on a patent for a fedora* that incorporates a VR display since 1972... can I get something now that Indy is back, VR displays are real now, and Disney has deep pockets?
* Disclaimer: No, I don't.
In 1970 or so, when I was a wee lad (and about a decade before Smallpox was eradicated from the Earth, for reference!), the teacher would sometimes trot out a film strip projector with a vinyl record as audio accompaniment. No 15-minute reel of a film here (though we got those later), just a...
Random memories of 1984 when the "new" Indiana Jones logo popped off the screen for the first (and only) time. I was beside myself with excitement. Well, until all the screaming started.
Sad if true, but not wholly unexpected. It seems like a lot of "legacy" sequels are just trying too damned hard.
There is one good thing about having early online reviews like this. It means I don't have to run in slow-motion to the theater while "Chariots of Fire" is playing, only to get there...
Indy literally, physically had the Cross of Coronado. It was real to him.
He likely considered The Holy Grail legend to be a complete crock of poo. Indy was probably sick of listening to his overbearing and arrogant dad sit there and spew conspiracy theories for an entire lifetime (while also...
I was so very confused when I started watching the DVDs. I'd seen many of the episodes on TV, so with the re-edited stuff I was simply baffled by the odd mini-movie format... and no eye-patch Indy.
Alas, I was bored.
I support this idea for a number of reasons:
Megan Fox is a talented and capable actress, with a number of awards under her belt
You wouldn't have to rename the character
Steven Spielberg would enjoy working with her
She actually looks and sounds exactly like Harrison Ford
I am on drugs
Well, they can't kill him off because the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles depicted Indy in the 1990's...
They could, however, poke his eye out.
Perhaps his sidekick will be one of his up-and-coming students who's at the top of her class and is itching to get out there. Indy keeps telling her...
