INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY Is Absolutely Terrible!

[@keiichi8191]

Indiana Jones' father in The Last Crusade was an elderly man whose wife had died and he was still portrayed with respect, wisdom, optimism, and humor. They didn't make him a sad old man who'd given up on life and just wanted to die. There was no reason to do Indiana dirty like this just because Ford is old, but current year Disney just can't pass up an opportunity to destroy an iconic white male.

[@nikkicole3331]

That would have been a great pitch for this last movie. It could have referenced back to The Last Crusade, maybe showing a few key scenes with Sean Connery and then have Indiana have to deal with acting/being/sounding just like his father during different times of the adventure. Indy should have grown old gracefully with memories of an amazing life.

[@SlamminGraham]

Elderly? Dude, Connery was 57 when he filmed The Last Crusade. XD

[@williamedwards4151]

Just imagine if Indiana acted like Connery did in Last Crusade, or started to more and more through the movie. And we have a moment where he realizes that he's just like his father. And it could be poignant and deep and meaningful. There was an opportunity. But they just wanted elderly Harrison Ford punching teh bad guys.

[@shadowking9739]

Remember how in "Crystal Skull" Mutt was constantly making fun of Indy for his age, calling him "Old Man" and "Gramps", only for the graveyard scene to happen and he is floored by Indy's ability to kick ass and take names despite being old? Yeah, I miss those days too.

​@@GrivehnYou are aware disney is currently under investigation for eighteen years of accounting fraud? It's been 2 years, but the fraud was so vast they expected it to take 4 years just to investigate before they decide if action has to be taken. They have had eight box office flops in a row. The only thing keeping Disney afloat is its theme parks and just barely at that.

It doesn't even make sense for Indie to BE this way in the movie. In the last film, Indie was very well off, world renowned in his field of expertise, has a resume that can't be matched, a loving family, great job, and a can do attitude like no one else. Even if his son had died and his wife decided to leave him, I don't believe for a second that it would have had this kind of effect on the Indie we saw in the first four films. Now add to that he has half of a TIME TRAVEL device and the means to find the missing piece? Indie just wallowing in his grief instead of, oh I don't know, using the stupid McGuffin to save his only child just doesn't track. This just doesn't read like the real Indie but some twisted fanfic version of him. Like the Gotham Knights version of Batman that dies in the first episode to a random goon.

@@fromtexas2734 That ending feels absolutely hollow because the entire movie went out of it’s way to make him a broken, pathetic old man who lost everything and they also character assassinated him by having him wanting to stay in the past when with everything we know of Indy that would be the last thing he would want to do. (Also don’t forget on how they got back to present day which doesn’t make sense) They could have done the same thing by having Mutt be alive and following in his father’s footsteps on being an archaeologist and is working with Short-Round in Egypt, while he’s happily married to Marion and if the movie had treated him with respect it would be fine with all the things I mentioned but in the current version it’s like a tacked on consolation price rather than a sweet send-off for the character.

You almost missed it!” She hustles him out of the study of the HOUSE he had in Connecticut in the first movie and into the TV room crowded with people. An excited and attractive woman he has never met yells, “Come on Dad, it’s almost time.” Marion drags him over to a couch and shoos some children off the couch. One of the kids says, “It’s time Grandpa, it’s time.” Marion sits him down and holds hands tightly with Indy and the kid’s mother, while a Walter Cronkite impersonator is talking about how in moments Commander Henry “Mutt” Jones III will be the first man to set foot on the Moon. Mutt is starting to make his way down the ladder stops and says, “Is that moving?” And gives a clearly fake, “ARRRRGGHH!!” Indiana and Marion laugh. Mutt’s wife smiling shakes her head, “he’ll catch hell for that.” Mutt jumps off the ladder and gives a version of Neil Armstrong’s speech and tacks on “Hi Mom. Hi Dad.” Indiana is hugged by one of his grandchildren as tears pour down his face, overcome by one of life’s perfect moments. “Hi son.” We see a picture of a space-suited Mutt standing by an American flag, the torch having been passed to a new generation of Jones family explorers as the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme plays.

Harrison Ford was too old, Last Crusade was the proper send-off and the purpose of Crystal Skull was $$. Otherwise, yes, you can find things to like but it's still not a "good" movie.

Well first off, Harrison was a bit too old for the role even then. Looked like he was covered in dust in his costume half the time. Mac was a pointless character who should have been eliminated and the full role given to Oxley instead. The artifact is not well-known and easily recognizable to most people so there is no real plot hook. Mutt was fine, but Marion being there randomly in the jungle didn't really sit right with me (although the ending was fine). But everything in the jungle just goes completely off the rails. Bad CGI fights, the frigging cartoonish springing back on the road on a giant tree branch and the ultimate goal is just a hive mind alien hoarder who flips off to his home dimension.

Walk into the theater, sit down in my seat, pull the arm rest down an basically say…Entertain me… Now, I just don’t see anything worth going to see… Thank you woke Hollywood, you’ve ruined another thing in life that brought joy into my and untold others lives. No money for you!

[@Horrormaster13]

It always makes me happy that Back To The Future has remained a trilogy and that Hollywood hasn't touched this Franchise since the year 1990. I can't even begin to imagine how terrible a 4th and 5th Sequel of it would have looked like. Too bad the same thing didn't happen to Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Carribbean :(

[@sporkenste1n236]

You can tell Phoebe Waller-Bridge wrote her own dialogue. Especially with that line where she refers to herself as "beautiful". There's a very thin line between confidence and arrogance, and I've never heard anyone refer to her as anything but "horse face".

I hear Indy got punched several times by a giant guy, so getting punched once and knocked out by Fleabag?

[@mhlkta8516]

Yes. And she said “ME TOO” before she knocked him out! Got it ? #METOO? So disgusting!

I said to my girlfriend years ago "they won't be able to pull all this shit with films as it's all about money". Turns out they're just plain stupid. Who would have thought that a film that's mainly for dad's and lads would go down poorly when a middle aged women took over as the hero. Instead of realising their mistake they'll probably conclude that people don't like cinema anymore.

I have no idea how Phoebe could go and state that her character knocking out Indie was a 'funny' moment as if that was a pleasant or charming thing to say. Not even 'heroic' for 'saving Indie's life', but a teehee so funny LOL moment. I've never heard of this woman before Indie 5, but I never want to see a movie with her in it again.

[@Darkwintre]

Avoid the Solo movie then. You're welcome.

[@colinsushiboy745]

Seen the entire movie yesterday online. They finally have a good copy and not a cam video at the theatre. Kathleen and Harrison Ford weren't the problem. The writing was the major problem. Studio's shouldn't be bringing back Harrison Ford at his old age for this action flick. Seeing a 80 yr old fight 20 something yr old and win some fights doesn't make sense. Can't blame Harrison Ford for cashing In one final time.

[@darkwolfe6286]

They literally 💩, pissed and spat on the Indiana Jones franchise. You thought Kindom of the Crystal Skull was bad, You thought wrong watch 🤨😮‍💨

[@pauljarman4433]

100% agreed. I was 11 when 'Raider's came out. Anyone who did NOT see this in the cinema the week it came out (very quietly I might add) will not understand how offensive and appalling the Dial of D is. Indiana Jones is the greatest hero of modern times and for us in the age bracket, the new movie was not just an insult, it has stolen our youth - especially for men. As young boys, we would dress us up as Indy and make believe play all day, whistling the tune. Well, that tune has died into a pit of despair. The film turned the light into dark, and stole the greatest modern hero, one inspired by so much research and skill by Spielberg and Lucas, their passion for the Golden Age of Cinema etc...and turned him into nothing. Every fan I know hates this film and they should. I rewatched Crystal Skull recently and wow, although we howled at it in 2008, it at least has magic, spirit, humour, adventure and does not turn its hero into a beaten wreck. Remember in Crystal Skull, we learn that Indy was a highly decorated war hero. How does a guy like that, a guys who saves the day again and again, who inspires university students, a scholar, a game changer, a leader, end up a miserable ruin living in a dump apartment in NYC? DUMB

[@benclark5225]

Disney has lost it's way. It's been taken hostage by woke terrorists. Mickey is on life support. The only hope is a return to the values of it's creator, which was being a family oriented provider of wholesome and uplifting entertainment, that served as incentive and motivator to our best hopes and aspirations, as members of a free society. What we see now is the exact opposite. Iger and the rest of them better get canned soon if the board at Disney doesn't want to see their mouse's funeral.

[@qui-gonrick7002]

Agree with the de-aging. Even if the face looks good and isn't distracting, there are other things that age too. In Captain Marvel they did a decent job de-aging Sam Jackson, but he still moved like an old man.

[@bentonrp]

Imagine being in charge of an franchise you are so against, that you don't even bother to watch a clip to hear what the title character even sounded like simply because you also own control over the actor who played him. btw, totally agree with you about de-aging.

@@SamtheBravesFan Indy was the exception though. He has said multiple times over the years that as long as he was able he'd continue to play Indy cuz he actually enjoyed playing him. Then again he's really long in tooth now so probably not enjoying himself like he did back then. Jesus the man is in his 80s it's perfectly ok for him to tell Hollywood to f**k off he's too old for this sh*t anymore. He should be enjoying retirement at his home making furniture in his workshop. Hopefully he's retired from flying too as he doesn't seem to have the reflexes to that well either.

Why would anyone think this was a good idea? Last Jedi was only successful because people weren’t expecting it to by terrible. But once people realized that could happen, they started paying attention to the movies coming out. Particularly from Lucasfilm of course.

What a disaster, have not seen the movie but all the marks are there even from the trailer. I did see Crystal Skull knowing what to expect and it was that.

[@maurizioginanneschi9402]

Comparing the way they treated the last days of Indy in this film with the way it was portraied the protagonist of "Gran Torino" (Clint Eastwood) is disheartening. In Gran Torino the main character was an old man, defeated by life, isolated by his own family, full of bitterness and resentment. But, despite the age, he faced his own jurney of the hero, always retaining his strong will and moral. His jurney changes him, opening his mind and overall shaking his point of view on the world surrounding him. At the end, he shows no hesitation in sacrificing his life to ensure the wellbeing of people that previously despised... with cold determination and incredible strenght. And here we have Indy, schooled and lectured on feminism all the day long... how sad.

[@TankUni]

So having watched the review, I got the impression Thorias wasn't much taken with the film? That he had a few...misgivings perhaps?

[@MyFireVideos]

I've been starting to suspect

[@blodguizer]

So an 80 year old wounded man feels that his life has ran its course and he wants to be left to die but he is instead assaulted and forced to continue living and fleabag believes that's "funny"?
