JONES!!!!
KvP:
Well, the wikipedia page states it in the first paragraph, but if that's not a good enough source... I don't know. A number of (seemingly accurate) spoilers have been thrown around film news sites for the last couple of months, so I'd be careful looking about.
I'm a little disappointed that they're taking their cues from 50's B sci-fi flicks this time around. The pulp adventure vibes of the first two were what made them great, in my eyes. The third was more of a victory lap than anything else. But I'll still see this one.

Honestly, I believe that this movie will be everything a fan could possibly want from another Indiana Jones movie. Whether its' pulp desert adventure, or pulp sci-fi adventure, it's still pulp. It's still being made by the exact same people that made the previous movies. All the stunts are 'real' and a minimum of CGI is being used, as usual. Harrison Ford still carried out a LOT of his own stunts, which, when viewing the trailer is not only obvious, but very impressive. The man is pushing 70 and still jumping through sugar-glass windows.
This is Indiana Jones. Critics are guaranteed to hate it, but it's Indiana Jones. And if you grew up in the 80s, Indiana Jones was all you ever wanted to be when you grew up.

You take that back. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Desktop Indiana Jones were modern day masterpieces when they arrived.

I have to agree with Sox, actually. There was an article in Variety a month or so ago concerning this movie (Said article also detailed the fact these are Cold War Soviets, not Nazis). There were snippets from Spielberg himself and I couldn't be more pumped for this movie. The thing people need to take into account is that the original Indiana Jones movies were never any kind of cinematic masterpieces. They were just fun movies with great acting from Ford (In fact, I'd call Temple of Doom and outright terrible movie). Unless Ford's managed to lose all semblance of acting skills, I can't see this movie being any different.

Yeah, but the Nazis were more efficient. They also killed way more children than the soviets.

The Soviets were never about efficiency, though, they didn't need to be. They had enough soldiers that they could carelessly toss them at enemies. When we were making "pressure point" nukes that could hit strategic areas, they were packing more and more kilotons onto their "fire and forget" bombs.
