I can't remember the last time I was this pumped about a movie. I was skeptical after hearing the title but the trailer completely turned me around. I can't wait.

A 60+ year old man playing Indiana Jones? Pass. Does he get away from the big ball on his mobility scooter?

I think I get prejudiced by who in movies nowadays. I don't see Indiana Jones in that preview, I see an old man with a hideous skeletal girlfriend. I have lost my "suspend disbelief" sense.

i am one of the biggest indy fans but man indy just looks too old now. at this point, its becoming hard to believe that an old indy is still able to be a swashbuckler jumping and falling all over the place like the good old days. the the trailer frankly didn't do anything for me and i hope this movie doesn't tarnish the legacy of the first 3 indy movies which were probably the best action adventure movies of our generation. i hope they prove me wrong, but i am keeping my expectations low for now (that always seems to lead to surprisingly enjoying the movie).
I agree - Im hopeful that it will live up to the greatness of the previous 3, but I have a feeling that something is awry with the aging, more annoying Ford still playing Indy...
I am pretty excited about seeing this two. The original Indiana Jones were before my time, but my dad LOVES them. I watched them countless times growing up, and judging by the trailer, I am not sure if it will be as good as the original three, but I think it will be loads better than some of the crap action movies that are released these days. Throw in Cate Blanchett with a European accent and I am sold.
I have also heard rumors there may be a trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a new David Fincher movie with Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton, and Cate Blanchett about a man (Pitt) who ages backwards. It's getting a lot of early Oscar hype.
