New blood?

Then show me an example of a good Indy-like movie to prove someone has what-it-takes to do it. All we got were pathetic mutations such as Tomb Rider (and mind that I did enjoy the game) or National Treasure (I'm not even going to mention cheaper ones made-for-TV or that German series about librarian etc.).
The closest thing in Indy style (I'm not talking only about 1930s, but also cinematography, music, pace, everything) was Rocketeer, but that was again, 20 years ago!
Laugh it up that I'm ranting like Eagle of Fire, but provide an example someone still can do it the old style.

Really? Because for me each time he is completely different. Like he's just a concept, not a person. What's common it's that he's always a rich jerk.
