Sounds great.

I’m confused, Indy says archimedes had no clue about continental drift, so the coordinates will be wrong, but then it’s revealed that the dial was set for that time no matter what. Sooooooo, what’s happening here?

Idea for next (FINAL?) movie - “Indiana Jones - LEGACY” Premise: It’s a drizzly, overcast day and we start with a large crate being returned to the wax exhibits of Indy, Marcus etc. in the Museum (as in Raiders) - there’s one empty space. The crate is opened to reveal the statue of Helena Jaw/Feeble Wallet-Drain (could be the original - difficult to tell!). As it’s being placed back on its stand, someone mentions that it mysteriously disappeared one evening; no-one knows what happened to it or how it was returned. Still, no-one actually missed it. At all. A few days later there’s a family/school tour visiting and 2 of the kids (NOT precocious/dislikeable, instead average, reasonably smart) are rather taken with Indys statue - they having read up on his exploits. They notice the statue of Marcus is holding a drawing/image of the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol (yep, from the start of Raiders) and mention it’s a pity Indy never got to get it back from “That guy to took it”. One of them recalls bits of something (s)he once read about the Idol - “If you hold hands with heart that’s pure, your dearest wishes will endure”. So they hold hands with the Marcus statue and wish Indy had indeed recovered & displayed the Idol. The Marcus statue sheds one, small, unseen tear. That (stormy) night [natch], Marcus comes alive and meets ‘the Council’ - wax figurines who also have temporary life - they advise him there may - may - be a way to obtain the Idol - snag it, the clues are somewhere about the museum. GO FETCH, Marcus! Not so easy, considering Indy has said he once saw Marcus getting lost in his own museum - high jinx ensue. But NOT in ‘Night at the Museum’ style, rather something NEW and CREATIVE, involving some brainwork, dangers and IMAGINATION, Disney. Not to mention effective (but not overused) CGI - just enough for the story. Main movie happens, a few laughs/jumpscares along the way - final scene shows the Indy statue holding a replica of the Idol (OR IS IT THE ORIGINAL?????). Just brainchompin’.

Adam, I can't with you young man, lol! You are funny as hell. "Indiana Bones". Hollywood needs you! Blessings.

This review was better and funnier than the movie trust me

I love the first three movies, and I honestly like the fourth, despite its flaws because Indiana Jones was still himself. but to be honest, this is not what I expected after the fifth part, I wanted another Top Gun, and I got the last Jedi.

I think of it this way: after drinking from the one true Holy Grail (he chose... wisely), Jones is just tougher and more durable than most normal humans.

After watching your comments, I think maybe I was far too forgiving with Indy 5. 😅 Having read all the spoilers, I found it much easier to take, and Mangold's production was quite masterful, considering all the rumored and obvious reshoots. But you had me rolling regarding the ...rolling stick of dynamite. Yes, I thought that was so bizarre that it didn't go off when she threw it at them, but they actually had plenty of time to fill Phoebe and Indy full of holes. And yes: bizarre editing, that they're immediately able to take off in the villain's boat. And, geez: Yes, it's so obvious that that ending was re-shot over something unfathomably worse...but that's right: that girl must have the punch of a 300 lb heavyweight champ, to put poor Indy in a coma for a week. 😂

To me, there are three perfect Indy movies. We didn't need parts 4 & 5.

Worst film of the year

“What am I doing with my life?” Funniest line in this video

An Indiana Jones movie in 2023 with senior citizen Harrison Ford as Indy? Sounds like a bad idea without me having to watch it

The most annoying thing is wombat dosent learn a lesson at all about preserving history and getting these items into a museum She is a black market selling flea bag at the start of the movie and is still a grave robbing PoS at the end of the movie Totally unlikeable with no redeeming qualities, this has to be the worst character ever made

She did leave the dial on the desk with Indy at the end, so I think it meant that she respected him enough, and what it could do, to not randomly sell it somewhere.

Honestly, I had a good time with this movie. I went earlier with my brother and grnadfather and we had a fun time. I did see some of its flaws but I still don't thibk it's terrible how ceerain people say. I appreciate Adam looking on some of the bright sides. All in all, I liked Indy 5 more than Crystal Skull (granted haven't seen it in a while so grain of salt)

He SOUNDED bad, but the video look was pretty perfect, I thought.

Ford is playing about 10 years younger than his real age if Indy's birth year (1899) is still cannon. Maybe this would have been more fun if they'd stuck to Ford's real age and set it in the late 70s, he'd be all like "grr, I don't like disco!"

Let's just say I liked what James Mangold did in the movie, and ofc the parts that KK did touch were atrocious, so for what I have heard, I'm glad James standed up to KK, but is so much one director can do against an atrocious Voldemort witch being in charge.

May I ask where you got that shirt? I like that style.

As a child, i went to Orlando for the Indiana Jones live action show; temple of doom... back when my _parents were together_ . Very memorable. Nice of K.K. and Lucas Disney to ruin my childhood _and_ escapism with a life-imitates-art story of a man sad and lonely from divorce and losing his son.. only to be saved by the other younger (uglier) woman that no one in the family respects.

This movie was ok, I enjoyed two thirds of it. It had a lot of fat that could’ve been trimmed. Too many chase scenes to a point where I stopped caring. Bad guys are always everywhere at the right time. Doubt I will see it again.

@colin8802

Жыл бұрын

To be fair, the bad guys being everywhere at the right time is an inevitability of not just the Indy series, but the adventure genre as a whole. In any movie like this, you can guarantee that as soon as the heroes make some kind of major discovery, the bad guys show up and ambush them.

Its not like Salah had a crap ton of kids that would occupy his later years, with grand kids or great grand kids that could have been younger characters in this. Or there was this Asian kid that could have been in this. Maybe he got sucked into multiverse or something.

Thank you, by the way, for watching this disappointment so we don’t have to. You’re doing the Lord’s work, Adam!

I thought that Methuselah Jones had gotten too old for this sh** in 2008, fifteen years ago.

I think it's so crazy that studios seem to be afraid to expand universes and include new characters because they don't know if it can live up to the original, so instead they make shit like this using the original characters, and it's equally as bad - if not worse. At that point, what would be the real harm in having new characters? You could argue that people only show up for Harrison Ford, in which case I would say just replace him with someone like Bradley Cooper, or Brad Pitt I guess (or even like you said, Chris Pratt), and try to make an actual good movie - not only will you probably still get a decent box office, but people might actually give it good reviews!! Though they shouldn't straight-up *replace* him - they can just be a family member, or even a completely unrelated person within the same universe - or maybe not even within the same universe. Though I guess the idea here is that Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be replacing him? If so, then great. Not sure why it needs to be a woman, but it could really be *anyone* I guess. It'd be interesting to have like... Idris Elba, or maybe Anthony Mackie or something, and you can have race play a part in it where he's fighting against racist people like the Nazis who have a sort of double-hatred for him.

Most depressing film I ever watched

They better leave John Wick tf alone. They’re doing spin-offs with the Continental and Ballerina, which is fine. Doing a de-aged prequel/origin story might be neat.

I'm not going to be on KZread when I'm 80! 😂 With awesome videos like this you might be...with the biggest review channel out there. Loving these.

I guess it's not as bad as the last Jedi.

Im glad you liked the movie, because Indiana Jones really lost the 'excitement' i always have for his great adventures around antiquities,which is a shame that if this IS the last film of the franchise... it ends on a fail! #IMHO #IndianaJones and #TheDisneyDialofDysentry

11:17 Good point, they never said WHICH agency they worked for, or how Mads Mikkelsen's character got them over to his side (the ones he didn't have killed anyway). Like, that plotline worked better in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, with HYDRA infiltrating and growing within S.H.I.E.L.D. by way of Arnim Zola (played by a guy also in this movie). 18:05 It's super easy, barely an inconvenience! 19:39 - 20:56 THANK YOU for pointing out how hollow, token, and manipulative that was! And they replaced Mutt with Helena, who is even worse as a person! I think Mangold (director of LOGAN, the best movie I can't bring myself to watch a 2nd time) was a wrong choice to direct or write this one. At least with the 1st 4 movies, you could feel Lucas and Spielberg's thumbprints on them, because they used those to pay tribute to the movies they enjoyed as kids and that influenced them to make movies! The new one was missing that sense of FUN and EXCITEMENT!

The actress who played his wife complain that they cut down her role in the movie.

5:15 I agree 100%. It was jarring for an Indiana Jones movie.

Superb review! You cracked me up when you said he was gang banged by the eels hahaha, that’s precisely what happened

Indiana Jones and the devastation of legacy is the disaster of disney Harrison Ford is way too old for this ABSOLUTE soul CRUSHING train wreck of a movie 😊

good review

Here’s my pitch. Same McMuffin but have his goddaughter and the Dr(German) recruit Indy for his help to find it, have indy be the same fun loving guy but with his age being an obstacle for him but he won’t admit to it. At the end when they find it their true motives come out Indy wants to get his son, goddaughter her dad and dr German admits he is actually a naxi and wants to go back, have a rule where you can only travel once before the dial breaks and at some point have Indy die but goddaughter makes a choice to go back and save him instead of her dad cause they built a strong bond throughout the movie

When the movie is so bad, it causes an existential crisis. Lol.... Yeah, whenever I used to go to the movie theater, it feels like half my day is gone because of this 1 movie. I got tired of leaving disappointed and feeling like I wasted my time & money!

I wanted Indi to go on adventures with his grand kids,

I preferred 'Indy 5: The Dial of Jive' over 'Indy 4: Please No More', but that's not much of a bar to overcome and ultimately 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is the gold standard which was never surpassed. I hope this is it for 'Indy' movies because they're not getting significantly better and enough is enough already.

I'm willing to give most trash movies a chance, I even watched crystal skull twice . But this new Indy flick sounds like it brings nothing but distain to the legend that is Indiana Jones....hard pass 4 me.

Age old characters like Sherlock Holmes, robin hood etc get rebirthed with new actors every new generation, I don't think you can't have anymore indiana jones or mission impossible with another actor, mission impossible was already a revamp of the old 70s show with none of the original actors in it, what I think is going on is that word franchise has come to represent just keep flogging a product til it makes a definite loss cos nostalgia talks, this is a business it's not interested in integrity it's there to make money.

The classics are the classics....anything else made....is just filler. That's how I choose to look at all these sequels.

So you’re essentially saying in the new Disney movies, Han Solo and Indians Jones are still working because they have a shitload of Alimony payments to Leia and Marion? Please stop ruining these characters!

Indiana jones and the dial of darth kennedy

I think you're assessment of this film is pretty accurate - EXCEPT your views on the reaction of the Mutt Character. We, as an audience, may not have liked him, and may not care that he is gone. However He was the main characters son. WW2 heroes whose children died in Vietnam was a real thing. The first story that come to mind was Jimmy Stewart's son. Stewart had been a pilot in WW2 and his son attempted to follow in those footsteps and got killed. You don't have to feel bad about Mutt's character, but it would be disingenuous of it didn't affect Indy.

First we had Rey skywalker, soyful mary sue. Now we get phoebe waller bridge, boss girl extraoridnaire. And these two characters take up 60 percent of their stories' run time. Kathleen kenedy has no greater story idea than to insert herself into everything.

It's dross, only made as Disney bought Lucasfilm and had to do something with Indiana Jones, so decided they needed a new Indiana Jones because Harrison Ford was too old, but needed Ford to be in the first one to pass the baton and validate the replacement. Sadly they made so many wrong choices after that... the new Indiana Jones was obnoxious and Smug, they decided this Indiana jones was female as Kathleed Kennedy is a Misandrist.... they're decision to kill Indy was dispised so had to have reshoots...things never made sense, was he shot in the heart or the arm......?

LOL, I just watched it, the only good things that I can say is that it's not a dumpster fire like The Last Jedi and I don't think wokeness was the big problem here but the movie was still really bad. I agree, too damn long and it's about 30 minutes longer than the 2nd longest Indy movie which is The Last Crusade and I always felt like The Last Crusade could've been 15 minutes shorter as much as I like that one. The new characters all suck and this is by far the most boring version of Indy. The director is talented and I love Logan but his style doesn't fit at all with this franchise. I always thought Crystal was watchable and I'll put it above Dial any day.

I disagree. I thought the movie was not only awful as far as Indiana Jones movies goes, it was just plain awful.

Saw Raiders in theater in 1981 as a teenager. Spectacular. Masterpiece. Sadly (for me) Indiana Jones 2-5 have all been mediocre at best with only lasting memory woefully being the refrigerator.
