It looks so corny and yet…I think it’ll be good. Looks like they’re more than willing to play off Indy’s age, but at least he’s still swingin’. ---

Looks great. Exactly what you want in an Indy film: exotic locales, explosions, outnumbered by enemies, flying stuntmen, etc. They make it look like creating a film like this is so easy yet when others try it we end up with junk like National Treasure and The Mummy. ---

A little too much padding from the 3 previous films, but some good shots of Cate Blanchett, a gratuitous Shia moment, Ray Winstone gets one brief line, and Karen Allen is briefly visible a few times (during the action moments). No sign of John Hurt, but who knows what role he’s playing anyway. And not that it’s been much of a secret, but we clearly get a marker for Roswell, NM, though the date that’s mentioned–1947–is probably a few years before the film actually takes place. Can’t wait. 🙂 ( :crosses fingers: ) ---

Anyone else notice that the warehouse looks an awful lot like where the Ark of the Covenant was stored at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark? ---

Ohh I can’t wait! I think I’ll have to watch the other three movies in the days before I go to that one… ---

[QUOTE=Sir Dirx] Anyone else notice that the warehouse looks an awful lot like where the Ark of the Covenant was stored at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark? [/QUOTE] Yes, I think that room plays a part in the story. This is truly a sequel to the first one. ---

I admit, I was a little scared. Indiana Jones and the Broken Hip and all that. But I am officially PUMPED after seeing that trailer. Da da da… dum da dum… ---

LOVE IT!! My butt is SO in a theater seat when that comes out. ---

After all these years, I still have a crush on Harrison Ford, especially as Indy. I don’t care how much Fosamax he has to take! And you bet I’ll be there on opening day if it is at all possible. ---

I knew the trailer was supposed to come out today, but here at work they block all of the “high bandwidth” type stuff. I ended up going to a buddies office after lunch just to see it. I really liked it and I’m going to have to go home and watch it a few more times just for good measure. I can’t wait, and I might just be one of the geeks dressed for the part at the midnight showing. ---

And according to those in the know, that _is_ the warehouse with the Ark in it. ---

I can’t wait! It looks great, Karen Allen looks fantastic (and seems to have hardly aged a day- where the hell has she been hiding?), and as an added bonus- POTENTIAL SPOILER BELOW! Shia LeBouef’s character appears to be Marion’s son by Indy! ---

[QUOTE=Tuckerfan] Hurt is Abner Ravenwood. [/QUOTE] As of yet it hasn’t been confirmed that Hurt is playing Ravenwood. There is some speculation on who is supposed to be though. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/official-indy-trailer/437614.md?page=2)
