As a huge Transformers geek, I dont want a "human" story next time around. Give me more of the robots as characters. Putting Sam in the center worked the first time because of the reveal factor. I didnt care about his story scond time around. That's why I saw the 1st one 5 times in the theatre, and the 2nd once.
Sure they could have Nazi's in the next one. Everyone one knows a bunch of them escaped to South America after the war, maybe they took a holy relic with them, the "Spear of Destiny" perhaps....
@David Walker: Actually, this idea has potential. It could be tied to Jones' work during WWII, with some flashback scenes in sepia tone to show us how kick ass he used to be.
Cut to 1950s Argentina where Jones is trying to track down the last known missing artifact from the Nazi arsenal. Leads on a chase around the world (including Egypt so we can have a Sallah cameo). The leads to the Soviet Union, where the Kremlin has taken control of the Spear and plans to use it to upset the balance of world power.
The climax would be set in a frantic chase through East Germany, as Indy tries to get the Spear out of the country and into the West.
If they do this, they need Sallah to be in it, they need to go after some Judeo-Christian artifact, and the antagonists have to be Nazis. Those three ingredients are present in the two good Indiana Jones movies, and are missing in the two ones that were horrible.
@FerrariDom: Against my better judgment I watched "Crystal Skull" and it was terrible. I should have listened to my friends. But I thought, "How bad could it be?" The south Park Episode summed it up perfectly.
It was entertaining, I'll give you that. And you know what. If it wasn't an Indiana Jones movie, I may have actually enjoyed it more. If it was "Alan Quatermain: The Crystal Skull" I could have tolerated it. But his ass-raping of Indy was deplorable.
@reddingofish: Ditto. I keep wondering what inspired Spielberg to pick Shia to play Indy's son. It's like they made a concerted effort to make sure that the next Indiana Jones would be a dorky kid rather than a swashbuckling badass. Maybe they should have picked Michael Cera. At least he knows how to make dorkiness funny.
I'm convinced that they purposely made Shia's character that annoying in Crystal Skull so that we'll think the sequel is the best movie ever when he gets impaled through the torso in the first 5 minutes.

Kate Capshaw is 1000 times worse than Shah La Douche.
Don't even get me started on Short Round.

Agreed. While the last film was entertaining, it wasn't GOOD like Raiders or Crusade.

I thought the Russkies made an adequate Nazi replacement, so they can be in the next one and make it another Judeo-Christian mcguffin and you're gold.
