Keep the CGI to an absolute
minimum. Something TFA got right was trying to recapture the look of the SW OT. This new film needs to do the same here. KOTCS looked
nothing like the Indy OT.
Make the action as over the top and epic as what we got in ToD. The action in KOTCS was so toned down that the whole film was a giant bore. (Though I think this was also a combo of the massive amounts of awful CGI)
Give us a score that's as epic and unique as the scores in the first three films. The score for KOTCS felt phoned in and didn't live up to the epicness of the other three scores
at all. Not even close.
Give the film a more serious mood ala Raiders. What we got in KOTCS bordered on being a full blown farce. It was just
way too goofy, and I'm not talking about the fun goof like in ToD. It was boring and painful to sit through.
Make the humor natural and appropriate for the scene and the movie. Don't overdo it and ham it up like KOTCS.
Just because Indy/Harrison is older doesn't mean Indy has to go on an "Old Man's" adventure. Keep things as breakneck and fast paced as ever. Regardless of age, Indy can still handle it. Judging by KOTCS you would have thought Indy was pushing 90.
Give us the most intense and intimidating villain to date in the franchise. Not that absolute
farce of a villain we got in KOTCS.
Essentially, don't be
anything like KOTCS, in
any way. Be more like the OT, in
every way.
