Harrison Ford is past it and has become, well... sort of an old crank and a borderline douche. So that's one strike against it. Two strikes, its just a money making grab and these " blockbuster remakes and sequels" have been pretty much dead creatively the last few years.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to try to rescue this tortoise that's been flipped on its back.

Harrison is barely in the sequel, and this is by no means a guaranteed money-maker. The first movie was a box office flop.
