Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Trailer

When it comes to the new Indiana Jones, everyone has had their doubts. Is Harrison Ford too old? Hell, is Steven Spielberg too old? Is the whole series played out? Does anyone even remember who Indiana Jones is? Can this guy compete against The Dark Knight this summer?

Now the first trailer for the movie has debuted, and if it doesn’t put to rest all of your fears about the movie, well, you must not have been all that excited to begin with. Granted, the first half is spent recapping all of Indy’s earlier adventures, with the Ark and the Holy Grail and the Goblet of Fire… oh wait, wrong hero. Anyway, around the one minute mark we stop to pause on the fedora, and as soon as Indy puts it on his head and the grand John Williams score starts up, we’re back in business.

You can see the full trailer below, thanks to Yahoo! Movies. Look out for a badass Cate Blanchett, sporting a serious Louise Brooks bob, and a brief appearance from Shia LaBeouf, who could still potentially wreck the whole franchise (mostly kidding). There’s also a very brief shot of a box marked Roswell, New Mexico. Given the recent rumors about aliens playing a role in the movie, it’s looking pretty likely that Indy will give Mulder and Scully a run for their paranormal money.

In conclusion: Woo hoo! Where are you, May 22, and can you come sooner?

Watch it in high-res formats here.

You know, I thought Harrison was just too damn old and theres no way he could continue being Indy without it looking embaresseing. I was olny half right, it looked pretty good but if they are going to make jokes about how old hes getting ("damn I thought that was closer", Indy wouldnt have screwed that up) I dont want to see it, I want to see Indy as confidant.

I disagree, Kris! They've always has those kinds of jokes. "It's not the years, it's the mileage". Remember that one? I think the movie looks terrific and the fact they made it without being dependent on computer generated special effects is impressive. I think it's going to be a fun movie. Who cares if Harrison is 65. I think he looks great and I am thrilled that FINALLY made another one!

Instead of looking for the "crystal skull", Indy and his less than amusing entourage should have been looking for a script. 19 years for this? There are some fun chase sequences in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" but the story is a confusing mess and there is no chemistry between characters who really weren't all that interesting to begin with. I am also one who believes that Indy works better alone or maybe even with one sidekick. Not three. There are moments in this movie that are so bad, it looks as if a high school drama team is doing their version of "Indiana Jones". I will leave you with a couple of positives. There is enough action and a few of the sets are amazing enough to keep your brain active throughout the whole picture but after 19 years, I was expecting a lot more than I received.
