Finally! Someone else has issues with the overuse of CGI! At least it isn't as bad as in Lord of the Rings where they did Gollum as CGI. That was just horrid. And, his voice drives me crazy. Gollum was the worst part of the whole bloody movie.

I can't wait to see this Indiana Jones movie. I've never had any interest in any of the movies, until watching this trailer. Now I have an urge to go forth and view them all with a vengeance. Thank you, Cliff!

Well, I specifically meant that Indiana Jones shouldn't use so much CGI. The previous movies in the series used mostly practical effects and I think using so much obvious CGI in this one isn't doing the series justice.
I think CGI is great when used properly, and I disagree and think that Lord of the Rings is one of those examples of it being used properly, especially Gollum. The movies could not have been made otherwise, and I don't think Gollum would have the same effect being portrayed by a human in make-up. Transformers is another example of proper use of CGI, despite being in a pretty crappy movie.

The third Indy movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with Sean Connery as his father and a search for the Holy Grail, is my favourite in the series. But yeah, you have to see them all. The first, Raiders of the Lost Ark, is classic. The second one, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, is the weakest, but still good. Indiana Jones is easily one of the greatest characters to ever be invented and the movies are my favourite of anything Steven Spielberg or George Lucas have done.
