Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

I really like the Indie series, so I take no pleasure in saying, I found this unwatchable. Really US entertainment industry, when are you going to get the message that a lot of us aren't interested in "the message". In summary, great cast, great sets, horrible script, full of the usual lecturing no one asked for.

When the title card for the latest Indiana Jones movie came on the big screen I was excited to hear the famous score, see Harrison Ford don his famous fedora and intrigued to see how they would handle Indy’s age in this 40-year-old franchise. The opening encounter was very familiar, with Indy fighting Nazis during World War 2. We are introduced to the antiquity and lore that is the basis for th...

_Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny_ feels like the type of sequel that aimed to capture the magic of its predecessors, had worthwhile intentions, and a talented cast, but it just never properly materialized. The film seems to teeter on the sheer annoyance of a main character grappling with the fact that he’s now a crotchety and wrinkly senior citizen and not the young, grizzled, adventurer he ...

I love this movie, it's the best after the first Indy in the franchise. The CGI effects are amazing, the Story is conclusive, and Action and Humor are great. Just ignore those people who post bad comments as they never liked the Series in the first place.

It took me a while to work up the courage to see this. I mean, Indiana Jones was my hero as a child. When I was sick I used to watch Raiders over and over again and that was a tradition I kept up through high school. And now... Thank you Doomcock, without your intervention this movie would have been even worse. It shows, the plot is messy, the re-shoots are a little obvious story-wise as Dis...

A Nazi colonel is moving some looted artworks towards the end of WWII - amongst which is the legendary lance that supposedly pierced the body of Christ. Luckily - for the colonel, that is - renowned archeologist "Voller" (Mads Mikkelsen) is on hand to advise that it's a fake - but by way of compensation, he informs the man that there is a far greater artefact on board their train. The "Dial of Des...

This Indiana Jones has a few gems (like Harrison Ford) but the script is a several rewrites away. The production values are top notch, but we never get swept up in the characters or the story. Save this one for a Sunday night rental. I give it a C.

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is a stale, impotent summer blockbuster that marks another unimaginative entry in the popular adventure franchise. Excessively dull and far too long, director James Mangold‘s movie burns every last drop of goodwill that’s left in the tank. This fifth and final installment in the Indiana Jones saga is a pathetic sendoff to one of the most iconic big screen ch...

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" delivers exactly what fans of the iconic adventurer have been yearning for—a thrilling, action-packed adventure that pays homage to the franchise's rich history while introducing new and captivating elements. Harrison Ford reprises his role as Indiana Jones with the same charm and charisma that has made him a beloved cinematic icon for decades. Ford effor...

Feels needless, but <em>'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny'</em> still gave me suitable entertainment. I'd personally rank it higher than <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/indiana-jones-and-the-kingdom-of-the-crystal-skull/" rel="nofollow">Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull</a>'</em>, though to be honest I feel similarly about all five films from this franchise - evi...

Goddamn this movie is so disappointing it actually made Kingdom of the Crystal Skull look decent. It's honestly just depressing talking about how much of a disappointment this film is. Harrison Ford still rocks as Indiana Jones. But everything surrounding him just looks so fake and reeks with distracting CGI. It also probably has one of the worst examples of modern cinematography. Its too float...
