/ @hardcutreviews
Indy is back. For his last adventure. Again. This time, old Indy is on his biggest quest yet- getting CUCKED by being relegated to a side character in his own film to an annoying new girl boss. Is the film just as lifeless, painful, and sad as we predicted in our trailer reaction video all those months ago?? Watch to find out!

Damn my dudes, I watched this video blind, then scrolled down to subscribe saw your sub count and thought "Huh I figured they would have more than 137k subs" - then realized there was a decimal I didn't see and couldn't believe it lol. Great work and pro production value, I look forward to seeing your channel to inevitably blow up! Also laughed out loud when you started talking about the Von Braun dude just killing people with zero concern or inquiry from his superiors 😂. Jesus Christ, how has Disney fucked up THIS BAD for THIS LONG? Calling their decade-long nuclear trainwreck the most epic and unprecedented failure in all of entertainment history is still somehow a understatement. Kathleen Kennedy is a super-massive blackhole forged in the deepest depths of hell, turning billions of dollars in to Hawking radiation & misery at an exponentially increasing rate.

Great review. I just found this channel, and the studio, 3 camera setup, and editing give this a very RLM feel, but unlike RLM the review isn't afraid to call out the bad politics that were clearly injected into the script. I was subbed after only about 5 minutes into the review. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see more.

[@hardcutreviews]

Thanks, dude! Appreciate the follow. RLM is amazing at what they do and we can only hope to be half as big as them one day, but you're right, they tend to evade any of the points that focus on agendas. We love the format of a couple guys bs'ing about films. There just aren't many out there that openly call out the nonsense.

John McClain was a total badass in Live Free or Die Hard. John Wayne. That's what makes Indy so great. Based on Humphrey Bogart I believe. Unapologetic masculine virtue. I was a teenager during the Cold war and was thrilled to see Indiana Jones versus the commies. Always happy to see those characters.

[@hardcutreviews]

John himself is great in DH4. The film itself though feels generic compared to what came before. It needed a little more of the style and grit of its predecessors and less of that modern polish.

[@BishopWalters12]

This is on my list of movies that I will never watch, this video was hilarious, but I don't want to see Indy become this miserable loser. It was bad enough seeing it happen to Picard, Luke, Han and others.

The Wilhelm at 25:22 cracked me up.

[@hardcutreviews]

[@edwardfleming4247]

The mythology of Indiana Jones had to do with religious artifacts. That's what made it so interesting. Arc holding the 10 Commandments and the holy Grail are compelling topics with literature thousands of years old talking about it. Coming up with the bullshit of aliens and time travel completely fucked it up.

[@hardcutreviews]

You are correct. Each of the original focused on a different world religion. It would have been great to see that tradition carried over into the new ones but instead we got inter-dimensional aliens. It’s not like there was a shortage of religions out there to choose from.

Personally speaking that's why I liked it because it reminded me of movies like Ghost of Frankenstein but I could see why many didn't.

[@hardcutreviews]

@@bw3230 That’s a totally fair reason for liking it. That style is a massive departure from the series though. Not counting Halloween III of course.

[@hardcutreviews]

[@ggrarl]

I think Die Hard 4 is a fine addition. He still acts like John McLane, wants to help people, complains a lot, but still does the job. The villains keep telling him how he's old and outdated (the villains mind you, not his sidekick, not his daughter), but he comes out on top in the end. Die Hard 5, on the other hand, reuses footage, makes John look like a joke and a jerk, and tries to focus on his ungrateful son. Also, McLane's lived through a lot of things that should've killed him, but walking into Chernobyl is a step too far.

[@hardcutreviews]

Oh, we’d take Die Hard 4 over 5 any day. We were focused on the aesthetics of the film compared to 1-3 and how small changes there can greatly change the tone of a series. Do love me some Timothy Olyphant though.

OK then, will someone please tell me how is it that an iconic archeologyist end up at the end of his (teaching life) and point that having had his hands on so many one offc antiquities then be living in a shitty apartment esp when the "mcmuffin," at the beginning of the film ,end esp being kept from dying until the time travel ending where "Somehow brown short round steals a plane "so HE flies now!"

I actually had fun watching the movie, trying to forget all the bs. But then the ending has been in my head for days. Fleabag actually had to save an old man, from staying stuck in the past and punched him in the face to bring him into the present. Little on the nose for the woke movement. I actually put aside all the nonsense until that point and then everything bad about the film started to stand out. PS... I should have prefaced this by saying I pretty much enjoy every movie the first time through just because it is something new. I even liked Thor Love and Thunder, which is one of the worst movies in the last ten years.

[@StayFractalesque]

I thought John Williams has been alseep at least a decade now.. I remember thinking Force Awakens score was distractingly bland for a Star Wars film.. in fact, I thought Mike Giacchino did a better modern star wars score (than Williams) with Rogue One.. ..after Marvel's Phase 4 was a total disaster, for what basically came down to, "letting the girls have a turn" , youd think disney would have learned by now.. i mean, its still a bad film regardless, but probably because the whole idea spawned from "lets modernize indiana jones for modern audiences with modern women" ..what's crazy is, these entertainment products didnt have to be bad.. but all these Low T men wont stand up to bad ideas pitched by other Low T men, nodding in silence to diversity hires in front of woke executives.. must be a nightmare. No wonder these movies are bad.. Like, how many dozens of checks do movies go through before hitting the screen.. and no-one along the way says, "she an awful obnoxious character" or "this humour isnt working" or anything? Something? ..it boggles my mind how these things get made and expected to perform.. i mean, even if they live in another reality, money still talk, right? .. they still havent caught on.. and again, what's with blaming the men if movies dont perform? ..can women not buy movie tickets? ..they only ever went to the movies if guys took them so they dont know how? ..same with female athletes.. "they deserve as much as men! (but we dont want buy tickets for them)" ..

[@hardcutreviews]

They will never understand that there needs to be balance. They swing the pendulum until it goes completely in the opposite direction. Women can kick ass in movies. They just don't understand that it doesn't have to be at the expense of every guy around them. Tons of people watched this before it was decided that it was finished and all they all thought this is exactly what the Indiana Jones fans wanted. Of course you'll get those who just love anything that exists and will defend it, but it's an uphill battle to defend this film.

[@StayFractalesque]

@@hardcutreviews 💯 ..I was thinking, how come they never remake the movies with badass female characters that are already female? Eh? Is this ever mentioned in the board room?

( they could always invent their own perfect character! ) ..naw, this might sound misogynistic but this whole trend of females culturally appropriating male characters reek of, "can I come hang out with you guys on boys night?? what?.. c'mon..

And what happened to those charges??? Oh, and I cant believe you didnt mention the 70S BUSH under Fleabags arms in the scotter scene. It was a little horrific.

[@hardcutreviews]

Hahaha, dude there was so much to mention. Our original video was an hour long and we cut it down to 30 mins as to not bore people to death. But yeah, massive plot hole where he gets back to NY and the murder charges are magically dropped. Nice eagle eye on the bush, lol.

Having him meet up with Short Round again would have been great. This movie would have instantly pulled in more people.

[@diehard7153]

That K K used the whole movie to spawn more spin-offs that’s what she had in mind and to get him to move on , this shit ain’t pirates of the Caribbean these are unique movies made in a very unique way. When you guys talked about the camera being at ground level that spot on that is the difference to old style movies to these modern movies . You need to feel like you are right there with the actors , I feel like I’m watching a video game with good graphics

[@hardcutreviews]

@@diehard7153 Nothing takes me out of a movie faster than seeing the camera break every physics law simultaneously. It especially sets it apart from the original films.

[@Menleah]

What a great new (?) series guys!

[@hardcutreviews]

Thanks! Newish. Started the channel last October.

[@sunshinestate28]

This is probably your best video ever! The wigs are a nice touch. Tbh, I didn't even want to watch the hot garbage of indy 5. I went instead to no hard feelings, which was a better use of my money. I really hope Lucasfilm goes bankrupt from this travesty.

[@hardcutreviews]

All you missed was a depressing deconstruction of an iconic character. I’m sure Jennifer Lawrence was more entertaining.

[@projimbo]

There are only 3 indy films. Lucas doesn't make films, it destroys legacies.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 8/10 Great Adventure! TEMPLE OF DOOM 10/10 Comedy, Romance, and Horror! LAST CRUSADE 8/10 Great Father's Day Special! CRYSTAL SKULL 2/10 Well, I THOUGHT It Was the Worst! DIAL OF DESTINY ZERO! Suddenly, CRYSTAL SKULL doesn't seem so bad.

I couldn't believe we were thinking back on Crystal Skull fondly after this mess.

Can’t unsee that now. It’s quite fitting.

I will never see Dial. Don't have to see everything boys.

[@hardcutreviews]

Indy can remain whole and intact in your memories. If you ever want to change that, watch Dial.

[@theanimationcritictaylorri1264]

Also HOT TAKE: KOTCS really wasn’t that bad in the grand scheme of things. Was it flawed? Absolutely. On the other hand it at least treated Indie with respect. Also Shia was actually pretty good with Harrison Ford actually. Also I got TDOD Score and it was kinda good but it almost sounded more STAR WARS. I didn’t even notice that until very recently.

[@hardcutreviews]

It’s funny how TDOD made so many people look back fondly on KS. KS has a lot of problems but at least it still kind of felt like it had the best intentions.

[@theanimationcritictaylorri1264]

@@hardcutreviews Actually even before all of this I still really liked KOTCS Shia was in his heyday maybe that played part but also Shia was already at a disadvantage because he was a Super Star in his teens and 20s especially so his childhood never really blossomed so in that way he was already setting himself up for going sideways.

Every time I'm looking for insightful commentary on film, my first thought is to look for the newest Movie Review(TM) channel hosted by people who base their entire personality off of being anti-woke and having the same takes as every other politics-dork NPC. I'm sure you guys are right up my alley and have original takes that have not been shared before and won't start shilling workout pills by your 10,000th sub! I am watching your career with great interest.

[@hardcutreviews]

NPC. That’s clever. How’s that working out for you? Being clever.

[@richardlong1567]

Loved the review! Kathleen Kennedy has single handedly - dismantled Lucas Film and Disney Film over the past ten years. I would go as far as to say, she has personally lost both companies over $5 billion dollars in scripted revenue. How is this ever possible with a pedigree so deep in modern film history, Disney have stood by and watched this woman take fan driven legacy franchises to the nearest cliff and then throw them off. Kennedy has said the fans don't matter - it's important to bring on a new fan base, try telling the Disney bean-counters - that's your plan. Seriously this woman has been out of her depth from the very beginning, as stated by Steven Spielberg 2008. With her IQ of limited creative ability - Hollywood politics from the "Me Too" movement; woke ideas and nonsensical narratives, she is truly the grim-reaper of Executive Producers. I do feel sorry for James Mangold and Harrison Ford who tried every day to make this pig's ear of a script into something - any thing - but this film was in production for months - with endless re-shoots and script changes - it must have felt like working for the Taliban! Production companies aren't designed around throwing hundreds of million at a film with no audience support - even the test audiences hated it - they needed success! Indy has instantly become KK's most unwatchable movie to date - and is sure to bomb across every market! Of course Disney will say it made it's money back once they hand it on to Disney + for $500 million company roubles - by that point no one will care. NB I have heard KK is producing season 4 of The Mandalorian and season 2 of Andor - such a tragedy as Andor was a step out from Star Wars; with a truly cerebral script - great heroic characters and believable off world locations - okay Scotland! If she gets her hands on season 2 - GOD help us - in fact GOD help us anyway!

[@hardcutreviews]

She’s a glorified production assistant. She lived under the shadow of talented filmmakers for years and now she’s dismantling everything they built. One character and franchise at a time.

[@GILx87]

I consider myself moderately liberal politically, but extreme wokeism pisses me off almost as much as nepotism and racists! This modern trope of castrating a cinematic legendary character (Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Indy, etc.) to prop up a 'new generation' of characters is fucking pathetic. I'm certain that Kathleen Kennedy planned for Helena Shaw to spin off this series. And although I don't agree with everything your channel stands for, I wholeheartedly support your review here. Top Gun Maverick did legacy heroes the best! And this was a travesty!

[@hardcutreviews]

Appreciate you saying this. While we can lay on things pretty thick at times, that doesn’t mean we’re looking for movies with overt conservative messaging in them either. Quite the opposite. Neither of us want that. We just want great movies without agendas in them. There are ways to pass on the torch from legacy to new generation without taking a dump all over the legacy. Creed is the perfect example. Those movies work well and they didn’t need to emasculate Rocky to do it. We don’t care if you’re liberal or conservative. Come back any time to chat about movies.

Haha, thanks! It's so sad seeing this happen time and time again. How many times in a row do they have to lose money before they realize nobody wanted this?

Just like you guys are saying movies, these days aren’t planned out years in advance with someone’s creative vision and passion. They’re made moment by moment on the spot, and then pieced together with ideas from dozens of diversity hires.
