talking about the so called supernatural aspects of the first 3 films is lucas way of excusing the non existent plot of the new movie, a very lame way to try and hoodwink the audience the same way he tried with the star wars prequels.

The next thing you will hear is this lame plot and fake cgi fest of crystal skull were his original vision, LOL.

Supernatural mystery is a big blanket statement to hide the fact that the 4th outing of Indiana Jones has no plot.

This could be dubbed cinema verite style by lucas and he has done it in movies before star wars like his student films and THX 1138. Make a film abstract but the visuals have to have resonance or at least make people think, this film succeeds in neither avenue. Lucas can claim the french new wave and auteur theory and cinema verite until he is blue in the face the prequels sucked big time, Indy 4 was mediocre. It felt like in the words of bilbo baggins "butter that has been scraped over too much bread".

It is time for Lucas to retire and do those experimental films he has promised since 1983, and this time for good.

Too bad every time he sees dollars signs he changes his tune. He said there would be no Indiana Jones IV and low and behold it was made, he now wants to do part V. He said there would not be any more star wars movies after episode III but there is this animated star wars movie coming out in august.

He claimed Lucasfilms future was television and that Indy 4 and Red Wings would be his Last big screen outings. People the fact that he wants to Do Indy 5 is horrible, please make him stop before he does episodes 7-9 of star wars all on fake cgi green screen. You know if he ever runs of of money he will do them. He has even admitted he did episodes 1-3 for financial freedom. The art of filmaking was of a secondary nature. I don't even think he was a fan of star wars anymore he just saw it as a cheap cash cow because sheep will eat anything up that has Star Wars written on it.
