Indy 4 is going to suck hard.
Lucas has never been a good writer/director. Ever. There's a very good reason why the academy hates him (he even devoted a few pages of his autobiography to complaining about it).
Lucas is a businessman. He came up with an idea to make a lot of money: A special effects movie and a lot of toys. After he managed to start this franchise off and could fund all of the sequels out of his own pocket, he stepped aside... until he started to go senile and thought he was a real director.
So, basically George Lucas is to filmmaking as Bill Gates is to programming.
