apparently some previous kid was eaten by the big giants before but the movie is scared to make this explicit
This basically sums up modern-Spielberg in a nutshell. He's not the same man he was in the 80s and 90s. He's too afraid to take any kind of real risks anymore for fear of offending children, or some shit. He always plays it super safe nowadays.
Which is exactly what he'll do with Indy V. I feel that getting my hopes up for anything else is foolish. Just listen to the way he talks in interviews, especially when talking about his kids. The man is as soft as baby shit. He's not gonna give us another gritty Indy film.
And the CGI, my God. He's just way too reliant on CGI anymore. I'd bet money that Indy V is gonna end up looking almost exactly like KOTCS (and coincidentally like every other film he's done in the last 10+ years....CGI heavy/washed out/bland color). It's not gonna look or feel anything like the OT.
And John Williams..... let's hope he doesn't phone it in again like he did with the last one. God, what a piece of shit score. It was basically 90% recycled music from the OT.
So, all in all, if you take all the facts into consideration, it's not looking good.
Btw, KOTCS was essentially one big joke about Indy's age. He's gonna be 12 years older by the time V comes out; nearly 80. So are they gonna make another film that jokes endlessly about his even-older age?
I guess the best we can hope for is that the story is more solid and engaging than KOTCS (which bored me to tears). I loved
the idea of going with aliens and the crystal skulls, especially being set in the 50s, but the entire
execution from beginning to end was all wrong. It was terrible! Ugh.
But you know what's potentially even worse than anything mentioned above...........Disney.
