Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny REVIEW - NO SPOILERS

[@MrRapmaster19]

It's only Disney really doing this, namely with Lucasfilm and Pixar. Idk what their kick is. People want more fun movies, and not all fun movies have to be MCU-esque, they can be more Top Gun-like or Spider-Verse-like, where there's still an emotional core and powerful moments during the film, but they're a lot of fun and funny anyway. Idk how Kathleen Kennedy still has a job at this point, she really needs to be fired.

[@earlsmith7428]

Wondered about this thirty years ago, when one show ended on an "ambiguous" note. Everyone said it was great, but some people who thought about it, had questions. One critic said if you thought otherwise, you didn't understand what the show was about. Always remembered that.

Yesterday I spoke to someone seeing _Across the Spider-Verse_ for the second time. He said he saw it early, enjoyed it, and was now bringing a friend or two with him. That's how a movie becomes a blockbuster. _Guardians 3_ wasn't quite that successful, but people seem to be still going to it; not sure how many people are seeing it more than once; same with _Transformers._ D&D fans didn't see their movie early (because they were busy or annoyed with Hasbro?), didn't come back to see it again with normal people, so it bombed. And it looks like the same happened for _The Flash._

Hi Grace! I think why the film worked for me was because Indy, in a way, is a relic- and at 48, I already feel like a relic compared to all the crazy, chaos and whackness in today’s politics and more.

​@@kevinsterner9104not the same thing at all

[@simpleplanfan011]

I’m seeing this tomorrow morning and now I’m not looking forward to it at all 😢

[@MikeekiM6]

I agree with your comment about halting his curmudgeony behavior. I hate it. I hate it IRL too. I know people who always make old person jokes and old person comments. Enough already, we know your old. We don't need to constantly focus on it!

[@philipho188]

'Subverting expectations', Hollywood enough, no more...

[@RadioactiveGoob]

I'm so worried about Ford in Captain America 4

[@MaxxRemKing1]

As you should be

[@mk6rfc1]

It’s not like he has played the character before, it’s a recast

[@benhughes6507]

Films absolutely terrible, it's a soulless crap fest, made me sad😔

[@MaxxRemKing1]

Did it make you sad that the movie was bad, or did the movie itself make you sad? If the movie itself made you sad it’s got soul because forgettable movies don’t provoke emotions

[@badshoes]

Why are they ruining these movies? How is KK allowed to still touch beloved characters?

[@rickywilcoxson6933]

Kathleen Kennedy is the Emperor Palpatine & Phoebe Waller -Bridge is Darth Vader together they have death Star that is their studio 🎙️ killed another planet which is this movie 🍿

[@raygarcia5759]

he's got PTSD from Kylo shoving his light saber through him... :(

[@DjDmt]

KK strikes again, I'll be giving it a miss

[@phillaysheo8]

I will just read the wikipedia plot, rather than see the film. Don't want to waste money on a film that "subverts my expectations" so badly..

[@k.t.5405]

Indy ended at Doom...Period! Indy 3, 4 and 5. Hard PASS!

[@matheus.bueno47]

Phoebe Waller-Bridge tries her hardest, in every movie she's in, to make everything about herself.

[@questworldmatrix]

That's disappointing. I didn't think they would screw up young Indie voice considering the voice they did for Luke in Mandolorian.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Yes, Respeecher would've made perfect sense in this situation. It worked for The Mandalorian, The Book Of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Different sound crews, maybe? Then again, it all emanates from ILM, doesn't it?

[@earlsmith7428]

Some thoughts. Remember when Kathleen Kennedy worked on the original Animaniacs years ago? The original program was funny and had some great humor. What happened to her?

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Indy’s films are supposed to be a throwback to 50’s adventure flicks. A Saturday afternoon thrill ride. That should be the perspective when telling any Indy story.

[@PurushaDesa]

Still can’t get over preferring _Lightyear_ to _Up_ .

[@Harpie.]

Subverting expectations makes me so uneasy and all I can think of is GoT whenever I hear it.

[@ΕΥΘΥΜΙΟΣΚΑΛΙΤΣΟΣ]

TLJ ?

[@brodierule5373]

Well, there goes Mangold's Star Wars movie.

[@Rockstar-bq5fm]

Having watched the movie it’s not as bad as the word out on it. But it’s terribly depressing and by the end of it I found myself sad for Indiana.

[@BeyondTheTrailer]

It made me sad as well.

[@leftifornian2066]

You’re supposed to be stoked on phoebe

[@stridin]

Thanks for the review. I appreciate your thoughts on this movie as a fellow Indiana Jones fan. Those first three films are magical.

[@david88464]

This really excites me for Hayley Atwell in MI! 😳 She was fantastic as Agent Carter, can't wait for what she brings to the table now against Cruise.

[@mk6rfc1]

I like her but I hope she isn’t taking away screentime from Rebecca Ferguson since she’s been killing it in the past 2 M:I films

[@treblelatrice926]

YES!!! SOOO glad she was cast here! ❤❤

[@Sepdick1]

This review got me really excited....... for Mission Impossible! :D

[@gordiebrooks]

Harrison Ford is happily killing off all his iconic characters for his own ego. Who says that Harrison Ford is the only actor who can play Indiana Jones. Just look at how many actors have played Batman and Superman and they are still active franchises.

[@jamescochrane618]

I'm sure he gives little thought to the characters he plays but rather the huge amount of money he is still able to earn in his 80s!

[@captainhyrule5146]

Sounds like Indiana Jones and the self insert of Kathleen Kennedy

[@Cahluvca]

Ill pass on watching this in the theater

[@elqord.1118]

Might be the first time Drinker and Grace are of the same opinion

[@michaelmahoney9364]

Lol, right?
