If done right, there is no reason a new take on retro can't recreate the "newness" of being a kid again. They didn't do it right, plain and simple.
Would Spielberg have done it right? Most likely. Too bad he had to be in halfsies with Lucas. Lucas is so ridiculously obsessed with cgi, that he has thrown all other aspects to making great movies overboard.
SithMaster:
Did anyone else notice the ewok cameo?
mpm32:
No but I did notice Indy's whip replaced with a flashlight.

I have to disagree on that. As we've gotten older, our abilities to use our imaginations and whisk ourselves away into a land we haven't been to before is lessened. With an addition to a series, no director/producer/actor on Earth can remove those naive memories we had as children or younger people. With a brand new series, yes, it is possible. But for series which have been in existance for a while already, it just can't be done. I don't care how good of a director/actor/producer someone is. You can not reproduce the naivity and blissful ignorance that we all had as children. As a kid, you can believe that the sheets you strung over a bunch of boxes put you into a mystical castle with superhuman powers. As an adult, it just doesn't work.
