INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL: Trailer 2

Speaking with people about "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", I've been met with a whole lot of skepticism and outright indifference. The general reaction is, "Yeah, I'll probably see it but I don't think it will be very good," I doubt this new trailer will change any minds because while it showcases a lot of action, it doesn't answer the underlying question of "Why? Why does this movie need to exist?" Cynically, the only answer I can come up with is that they want to use it to spin off Shia LeBeouf's character into his own franchise.
Or maybe it's nostalgia for the nostalgia. It's meta-nostalgia. Of course, originally, the Indiana Jones films were a loving tribute to films like "Gunga Din". This one seems like a tribute to Indiana Jones which is like holding an awards banquet for yourself.
Anyway, rant over, new trailer below. Or in HD here.
Collider video or audio content ... very cool stuff
