ROTTEN TOMATOES: Trailer Bulletin: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Trailer Bulletin: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Dun dun dun dun, dun dun duuuunnn...

by Alex Vo | February 14, 2008

For those who were planning to go to The Spiderwick Chronicles just to watch the Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull teaser (for shame?), Yahoo! Movies has done you a big favor: they're hosting the teaser for your immediate perusal. We've also embedded it here on RT so scroll down and check it out!

In his fourth big screen outing (and first in almost 20 years), Harrison Ford reprises his role as Indiana Jones, part-time adventurer and vanguard of higher education. Obviously, scant plot details are revealed in this teaser, but it's got everything else we've come to expect -- exotic locales, fist fights, one-liners, and good old-fashioned stunt work, all to the tune of John Williams's classic score.

You can continue on to Yahoo! Movies for HD versions on the trailer.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters May 22^nd. By the way, you should still go watch The Spiderwick Chronicles. It's Certified Fresh and everything.

I'm still very excited, but I don't know if this trailer necessarily made me MORE excited or not.. Not enough is revealed... But still, awesome! Looks like Harrison can still move pretty well :).

You know what, I am excited for this movie. The trailer doesn't show anything and that is the way it should be.

I think the best of the trailer is that it definitely shows that the film will be exactly as the rest of the saga: pure, unadultered fun.

looked cool except for that part where he smashed into the truck and said 'damn, i thought that was closer.'

just glancing over senor spielbergo's resume, he's given us so many gifts, it's ridonkulous. he's not gonna fail us and this movie will be everything it's supposed to be... until everyone finds out what the kingdom of the crystal skull is. i read the spoilers, and they spoiled everything. oh well, the first two hours will be awesome.

and yo, where's ravenwood at? did i just not see her?

Whoo! For me, the Indy series got better with each movie so I'm pumped. I'm not expecting this to hit Last Crusade's heights, but if it gets close to Temple of Doom, I'll be clam-happy.

Did anyone else notice the box or whatever it was that had "Roswell, New Mexico" on the side? :-) Looks like those rumors were true...

Indy is still a kicka**. I can't wait. Speilberg and LucasArts are an immortal duo. They should have there own comic book " CameraMan and Graphics Boy".

eh...i'm not as sold as you guys apparently. some of that looked straight to dvd cheesy. but, at least he doesn't look 80 years old like some of the stills we've been shown have him lookin'. to me, this is tied for 3rd behind TDK and Iron Man this summer. its right there with the Hulk in terms of pumped factor for me.

honestly, do people REALLY do that? go to a theater just to see a trailer? please tell me it was just an Urban Legend that SUPPOSEDLY happened for The Phantom Menace. please tell me there aren't nerds who REALLY do that in life...

Since I work at a movie theater I had the option of watching the trailer, no I would not pay to see Spiderwick to see the trailer but with the option of watching the trailer when I had the chance, I took it.

YAAAAAAAAY! Ford is back and looking good, Blanchett looks fantastic as a Russian. Cinematography is absolutely gorgeous. The visual effects look like a little too much as opposed to the live set-pieces in Raiders or the collapsing bridge in Temple of Doom, but hey! It's just a teaser and I'm sure that the rest of the movie is very plot-driven over visual effects.

As a few of you mentioned--it didn't get me more excited, but it definitely didn't bring down my excitement level either. Though one thing that kind of surprised me... there looked like way too much CGI. I was hoping for more old fashioned stunt work. Oh well--it'll still be fun. And by the way, who thought "Damn, I thought it would be closer?" was the worst part? That was the best part.... hahaha. I love Indy, but it's fun to see him mess up.
