Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny review: Harrison Ford cracks the whip in taut sequel

There’s still much to dig about the octogenarian archeologist as he teams up with Phoebe Waller-Bridge to re-defeat the Nazis

This movie is going to be horrible.

Consensus from reviews so far seems to be its serviceable but completely hollow and kind of pointless. About what I expected. Disney/Lucasfilm supposedly thought they had a slam dunk certain critical darling on their hands with this, do the tepid reviews are probably shocking to them.

Edit: actually tepid may be too kind. It's getting increasingly harsh reviews as more come out. All three major industry trades absolutely buried it. Damn. Looks like a mess.

If Indy could have done it all from a wheelchair I think it would have been a hit.

I will watch it in the theater. I have liked them all including the Crystal Skull. I think for me it’s nostalgic sitting in a theater watching Indiana Jones. It brings back childhood. To each their own.

Disney is really trying to force this into being a Star Wars type of franchise.

Slightly better than The Flash's opening weekend. Yikes.

‘Indiana Jones’ & The Box Office Of Doom: Why ‘Dial Of Destiny’ At $60M Opening Isn’t Setting Records For Franchise Finale – Updated Box Office

SUNDAY AM Writethru Final after Saturday AM Update: Even though Disney/Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is looking to hit the bottom rung of its tracking projection of $60M Sunday morning, there’s no question this is a disastrous result for the finale to a historically beloved...

Just got back from it. I enjoyed it, but mostly out of nostalgia. Harrison Ford looks great for 80, but he's 80, so it takes an extra helping of suspension of disbelief for the action sequences. However, I thought it was fun with plenty of callbacks. I was happy to see it in the theater...

Haven't seen it yet but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I've avoided the reviews as I think a critics' opinion about these kind of movies (summer action/adventure blockbuster) is generally worthless, I avoid them for horror movies for the same reasons. Then the youtube brigade seems to just have an agenda against Disney/Kathleen Kennedy in general which might be fair enough but it's not going to stop me from an Indiana Jones movie, particularly the last one with Harrison Ford as the titular character. Audience score seems fairly high from what I've seen since it came out on Friday. Hoping to see it sometime this week.

Yes, I liked his performance and how they managed to work the throwback villains into the later era.

Way past time for Kathleen Kennedy to go, she's a cancer on Lucasfilm. This movie severely underperformed.

I saw it this weekend

I liked it. it was miles better than Crystal Skulls and a worthy Indiana Jones movie. Mads was really good as the villain. However it is a distant 4th after the original trilogy

I thought the de-aged opening scene was great. There were a few dodgy uncanny valley moments but for the most part held up really well. In fact it was my favorite part of the movie, so much so i kind of wish the whole movie was this. And just showed that the best Indiana Jones is Nazi Fighting WW2 Indiana Jones

I thought Phoebe Waller Jones played a good frenemy part. Didn't really think Short Round Part 2 was necessary

I liked seeing Sallah again and wished he had gone with Indy. If he had been the one to die during the scuba diving scene that would have packed a wallop. But instead we were supposed to feel sad at the murder of Indy's friend, a character we first met five minutes ago. And whose death only registered at all because it was Antonio Banderas

Time Travel - Okay

I did note the "If you're worried there may be more of these movies with Shia LeBouf in the future, don't be" line

Really liked the closing scene with Marion and call back to Raiders
