It’s a slight improvement over the first trailer, but I’m still not overwhelmed with optimism.

This is a spoof, right? I mean, it’s got to be. There’s no way Harrison Ford is still making Indiana Jones movies. ---

As I said before – it is an odd numbered move and it has Sullah – so there is decent chance it is good. Brian ---

It’s amusing to me that creaky old Indy needs to have vehicular assistance (tuktuk, horse, etc) to justify the energy of the action sequences because no one will buy him running around. ---

Well, to be fair, “young” Indy needed vehicular assistance for many of his action sequences, too. Just off the top of my heads, I remember: Trucks Cars Motorcycles Tanks Rafts/boats Horses Not seeing a huge difference from that trailer… ---

I read someplace that Harrison Ford met Chris Pratt someplace and warned him off the idea of starring as a younger Indiana Jones, that the character would die with him. Now Chris Pratt isn’t my favorite actor but done well, a reboot featuring a younger actor in the role would be worthwhile. ---

This looks so very terrible. One of the great things about the original _Indiana Jones_ trilogy were the action sequences done with practical effects; the truck chase in _Raiders_, the mine carts in _Temple of Doom_, the boat chase and later rescue from the tanks in _Last Crusade_. These weren’t remotely ‘realistic’ but were done with such a visceral immediacy the viewer could imagine themselves doing what Indy does, and where these films don’t hold up is in the compositing. This film, like _Crystal Skull_, seems to be relying on _Laura Croft_-style action sequences that are not only obviously all CGI but are also completely unbelievable; it’s like watching a poorly done cutscene in a cheaply made videogame. And Phoebe Waller-Bridge interjected into yet another franchise because…she’s popular at the moment? She’s not a bad actress but she always seems miscast in anything that isn’t _Fleabag_ or _Broadchurch_, and she just seems utterly out of place here. Also, who decided to slap “Sympathy of the Devil” on top of this trailer? Is this film directed by Martin Scorsese? This is so blatantly a cash-grab to get one last high grossing film out of Harrison Ford before the inevitable reboot, and nothing about it looks necessary or interesting. Hard pass. Stranger ---

Guys, Harrison Ford may be too old to beat you up, but he can hire it done. Just sayin’. ---

Of course, if he was still with us, he’d be 53 now. So not such a young Indy. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > a reboot featuring a younger actor in the role would be worthwhile. There was an entire [Young Indiana Jones franchise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Indiana_Jones_Chronicles) built on a young adult tv show with tie-in books, trading card and video games. It was pretty good and had him lurching around the world as a young boy or teen intersecting with major world events. Pretty much all in canon, and introduced by an aged Indiana Jones having a reminiscence. Its probably time this got an airing on some streaming service. ---

Look, as long as it doesn’t have any aliens or Shia LeBouef, or Kate Capshaw, it won’t be the worst one. So I’ll see it (and then I’ll come home and watch the first one to cleanse my palate). ---

George Hall, who played old Indy in the TV series, was four years younger then than Ford is now. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-indiana-jones-trailer/982314.md?page=2)
