As long as it's made by the same 3 guys that made the last 3 films enjoyable, no worries over here.

The big question is will Connery come out of retirement to be in this?
I'm sure they will throw him some nice coin for a cameo (at the minimum).

I don't care if it will be almost twenty years since Crusade when this finally hits the big screen - I'm there.

He's going to be fighting off the KGB in Eastern Europe.

It was okay. I enjoyed TEMPLE OF DOOM better (and I do realize that I am one of those few who prefer it over CRUSADE). The tank chase in CRUSADE felt like the truck chase from RAIDERS, and we already had Nazi villains in the first movie. At least DOOM went in an entirely different direction.

I have to respect your reasoning. For me, Temple is the Return of the Jedi of the trilogy. The goofy opening and the roller coaster mine cars wrecked it for me, but it was different.
The roe sham bow (sp?) between Connery and Ford made up for so much that I loved Crusade. And- Any ricochet through the head scene is gold.
That Plus, the seagulls into the propellers …Somebody (anybody!) should tell Sabrett about this flick.

I'm with you.

It also had the best cinematography of the series, and the best sidekick.

I can't wait. I hope this film is given the same care that Stallone gave with Rocky Balboa.

Now? They are and always will be. (Just saw the preview for "The Number 23". I can't wait for the sequel "# 17")

Temple of Doom is my favorite, mostly because it was one of the early vhs tapes i had as a kid and watched over and over and over and over

I love Raiders...Last Crusade seems the worst to me (but still a great movie), but the wife loves it

This should be a fun movie. I enjoy all of the others quite a bit.

Connery ruined LAST for me. If he would of played like a know it all tough guy instead of a winy old man I would have liked it. I'm sure he thought why play the same character again as he did in UNTOUCHABLES, PRESIDIO, NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN.

I'm sure he was thinking that he'll play the part as written.

Oh please! Connery was great in The Last Crusade. Connery playing a befuddled old professor was half the charm of the movie....

Connery was the one thing that saved The Last Crusade from becoming the best nap I've ever had in a theater.

Loved Temple. LC ehhh it was ok.

The only thing that ruined Last Crusade for me is what they did to Sallah. In Raiders is was a gret digger, well respected, great ally of Indy. In LC they turned his character into a bumbling fool. Plus I liked Raiders & Temple's more serious tone to them (somewhat) LC just felt too goofy. I hope with Indy IV they do the Batman Begins type thing and make it a little more serious tone to it. We will see.

I've never met anyone who liked "Temple of Doom". Personally, I hated it too. And thought "The Last Crusade" put the series back on track. Not as good as "Raiders". But very few movies are.

I love all three films (although the darn-near flawless Raiders rules in my book, by a long shot), but I don't get how Temple is looked at as simply a "darker" Indy. That aspect of the flick is all fine with me, but the Willie-Indy scenes are just plain goofy and sometimes painfully unfunny. In contrast, the Shorty-Indy scenes are humorous and really click (to me, at least).

Overall, I always thought Temple tries to balance too much silliness with a dark storyline. Still, a lot to like!

Oh yeah, really looking forward to IV!
