The original Raiders of the Lost Arc was one of my favorite movie experiences of my life. Maybe it was just perfect for me at that age at that time. I dunno. It was great, though.
But every Indiana Jones sequel since then has sucked, and sucked bad. I like Chris Pratt, and loved him in Guardians of the Galaxy. But please, please, please kill this idea of another Indiana Jones abortion.
Really new ideas are pretty rare nowadays because of the huge amount of money that goes into making these movies. Investors would much rather spend $100 million dollars or whatever on a known quantity. Hence why the vast majority of big budget flicks are adaptations or reboots.
Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans.

I mean, they need to be re-interpreted for a modern audience. It's just common sense.
