Oooh, a motorcycle chase through a tunnel. How exciting.

Harrison Ford is 80 years old, so I imagine Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be doing most of the film's heavy lifting. I'm cool with that. Indy's daughter taking over for him is what the plot of the last movie should have been. But I'm worried if a motorcycle chase through a tunnel is the best action sequence they have to advertise.

I know that toy designers are given varying degrees of access to content from studio to studio. Sometimes, they get the keys to the kingdom. Other times, they're given a couple of pictures and some select pages from the script to go off of. I'm hoping that this is a case of Disney wanting to hide the truly great action sequences and not have them spoiled by the toyline. I'm hoping that Helena Shaw gets her own version of the rolling boulder, the flying wing fight, or the tank sequence.

If they're looking for a motorcycle chase to thrill us, we had one last year featuring velociraptors.

They should go the Fast and Furious route and make it a literal rocket motorcycle

I don't think anyone is really expecting this to be good

She is not at all related to him, she is his god daughter, a child of once of his friends.

Wrong? No. It's absolutely and irrevocably going to suck. It's going to suck so very, very hard.

But worrying about it isn't productive, because there's nothing you can do and there's no sane or rational hope. So the best thing to do is pretend it isn't happening and don't get worked up about it. No reason to care, because there's nothing to care about, and never will be again.

Just accept that there were only and will only ever be three Indiana Jones movies. ONLY three. EVER.

Remember when Disney can make something that would evoke emotion even from a dog (google dog reaction simba)? That era is long gone. Disney needs a Zaslav treatment

why are people being cynical over this?

is there a particular reason or is it just more of this "i hate everything and expect the worst" attitude that's way too common nowadays

Because the last one was awful and shouldnt have ever seen the light of day and its perfectly logical to assume that this one will be even worse?

why is it logical to assume that when that film came out like 16 years ago and was written, directed, and produced by completely different people ?

Because its once again dredging up an old series thats past its sell-by date. Ford is too old. If they had more good Indy scripts we would have seen another film years before KotCS. It just doesnt come across as it has any chance of being good.

I dont think thats a particularly crazy opinion to have.

Well firstly that's not how film development works, and secondly, a film having a long development time doesn't forgo it from being good. That doesn't make any sense.

Based on what? Seriously? I mean you cut out a major reason when you tried to selectively quote me so I don't feel you're being genuine here at all.

Look, if you want to be hyped about it, be my guest. I've just explained why I won't.

I'm cautiously optimistic, since it has two things going for it:
1) historically the odd-numbered entries are great; the evens no so much
2) it has at least one Nazi as a villain, which is one of the main ingredients for a good Indy movie
