Recasting Indy could keep the franchise going for many years. However, an Old Indy was quite active in TV’s The Chronicles of Young Indiana Jones. Another thought; have Indy meet or have a co-adventure that would introduce Doc Savage or just William Harper Littlejohn (another archeologist). This would help expediate the Doc Savage movie franchise.

I think it is only a true Indiana Jones movie when Biblical artifacts are involved. The Arc and the Holy Grail. There is still one final piece that could be sought after. THE SPEAR OF DESTINY. The spear head that pierced Jesus Christ’s ribcage. Legends say that the spear head has powers and that certainly works for an Indy Jones movie. I think it would be perfect and get the Indiana Jones saga back on track . Get back to the jungle and ruins and oh what the hell. The Nazi Party could still be a part of it if Lucas can spin a story about an underground nazi chapter that still existed after World War was finished.After all Hitler did create fanatics , who searched the world over for such items.

I thought Crystal Skull was OK when I first saw it in the theatre, once I got the DVD I had a better appreciation for it. BTW, Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones. I look forward to the next one!

The one valid argument I see against recasting Indy like they do with Bond is that Indy did not exist before “Raiders.” Bond was a book character, but Indy is a film character who has always been played by Harrison Ford.

This doesn’t mean it can’t be done, but it would be hard to do. Like I said, until Christ Pine’s performance in Star Trek, I didn’t think there was anybody out there that could capture Indy. He might be able to do it.

I think people were saying that because the whole aliens thing seemed like an epic fail, at least to me. I really enjoyed it but I did have that sense of disappointment that it was an “Alien” story line. I’ll fully admit I’m biased in that department, I would much rather enjoy a cool story about Atlantis, some other lost relic from an ancient civilization, or another crazy cult. But aliens felt lack luster to me in the end. Maybe it was just the way it was presented.

I think you’re all way off base here. Bond is not a character that should be allowed to age. There for, is replaceable as has been shown. But a character like Indiana Jones? His aging should be a part of the story, and do you remember how retarded people got when the rumors were flying that he was passing the torch to Shia LeDouche? Not to mention that Harrison Ford is and will always be Indiana Jones, I really don’t want to think of anyone else replacing him…if it came down to that they just shouldn’t do it.

I like to compare Indy 4 to a Best of CD from your favorite 80′s band. It had al the same scenes from the first 3 movies thrown together with modern stuff. I would of preferred if they went with 80′s special effects like they said they would do but oh well.

Mutt was fine. the only way you could’ve brought in a character to replace Indie, especially a kid, is to make him an angsty kid who thinks he’s tougher than he is (much like Indie does). there are so many characteristics that match Indie just fine. just like any protege, he’s not going to start off great.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull disappointed people because they expected another Raiders. i don’t know why. they will never recapture the magic of the originals (even though Crystal Skull was better than Temple) just like they can’t with Star Wars or Rocky.
but that makes it by no means a bad movie. it had all the classic Indy stuff in it. Aliens was the next logical step in the series, especially for the timeline.

i guess they could’ve jumped on the vampire bandwagon but i would’ve hated that and complained to no end.
