I think his (half)ethnicity makes him an “attractive” leading man, an “everyman”, the kind of look that most Hollywood producers would have liked to have had when they were a young man.

Other than that I really cannot see it either.

Not a bad actor, and seems like a nice guy, but not the next Tom Hanks.

Best part of the whole movie.

Reminded me of the inimitable Ginger Rogers singing in Pig Latin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJOjTNuuEVw&p=F51A265DDAF1DBE4&playnext=1&index=36

All it had going for it was special FX.

With that being the major trend in Hollywierd in the past 10+ years.

Bradley Cooper should have been the new Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford’s time has came and went.

The biggest mistake was the following spoiler.

spoiler below

I think the fact that Mutt turned out to be Indy’s son made Indy appear to be older than necessary. It was the movie’s worst kept secret. Other than that and Close Encounter UFO sceen at the end, I thought the movie was good. People need to realize that IJ is little more than a comic book character.

I read the other day that Harrison Ford thinks he has sweet-talked Sean Connery out of retirement to co-star in number five.

Apparently his character died prior to "Kingdom"., or so we were led to believe. It is a shame they cannot bring back Irina.

I didn’t think so. Shia LaBoeuf looks younger than he actually is, so it seemed perfectly natural that he was IJ’s son.

Bradley Cooper? No way. He’s not attractive.
