Spielberg is my favorite director of all time but he's lost his touch. He's not the same guy he was in the 80s. He's grown soft and been way too overly reliant on CGI. Based on his work from the last 10 years, I feel we'll be lucky if Indy V is only marginally better than KOTCS.
I just don't see Spielberg taking the risks he would have taken in the 80s and 90s. I think more realistically, we're in for another KOTCS. The story may be more fleshed out this time, and possibly more entertaining, but I'd bet anything the film will look almost exactly like KOTCS.
Speaking of which, his more recent films all look the same. They all have that same faded, washed out look. That's definitely not how his older films, or the original Indy trilogy looked. It's how KOTCS looked, and pretty much every film he's done since then. So I don't see any reason why Indy V will be any different, unfortunately.
I'm hoping for the best and willing to give Spielberg another shot at getting the series back on track, but based on history, I don't think it's likely at all. Not to mention how lazy and hyper over-reliant Hollywood is nowadays with CGI. Ugh. Why would any of this suddenly change now?
