Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

[Pawnless Endgame]

instead of Shortround we got Phoebe!!

Wasn't Short Round still in Dial of Destiny? I remember a bit near the end where Indy, the main female character and the little kid were in those caves look for a dial part, and I thought the kid was Short Round. The setup with man-lady-kid in caves with booby traps was reminiscent of the Temple of Doom, my favourite out of the Indy Jones films.

I'll have to watch the Crystal Skulls again as I only saw it once around 2008/9 time, but I think it's safe to say that Indy 1/2/3 is better than 4/5, so I still acknowledge it as a trilogy.

I went into it not expecting a lot but was pleasantly surprised, certainly had the tone and feel of the original movies with a little slapstick thrown in.

Did the same over Xmas on Disney+. Turned brain off and enjoyed it as much as possible. Felt is was better than crystal skull.

It's unbelievable how bad they messed this up.

It's unbelievable how bad they messed this up.

It was not as bad as Crystal Skull, but they were unneeded and mostly unwanted. The mistake was to even make them, I don't think they could have made a decent movie given Ford's age.

I'd say the start of it was better but it lost me even before a neverending car chase I got bored of.....

It wasn't great but was better than Crystal Skull (not much of a benchmark I know) and PWB was better than Shia, again not that difficult

 

[something daft already!!]

I tuned out the moment Harrison Ford spoke. It was so weird seeing a de-aged version of him talking like he was about to die of old age. Also the reviews had already told me what a pile of steaming excrement this is/was.

Apparently this doesn’t even include the marketing spend on it (likely another $100M+).

I watched this in a Small Cinema a few weeks before Xmas. I thought it was pretty bog standard for an IJ film. People have got bored with this though & no Spielberg/Lucas at the wheel so I think that's the reason it made a loss.

Nobody wanted to see a clapped out alcoholic geriatric Indiana Jones get bullied by an obnoxious feminist girl boss for two and a half hours.
