I think a big reason I enjoyed Crystal Skull more than a lot of people is because I didn’t grow up with the movies. I had heard of Indiana Jones as a kid but didn’t see any of the movies until my teens or early twenties. So that movie (or Dial of Destiny) has the advantage of not having to live up to childhood nostalgia. Honestly, I just need to have a fun time; I don’t need it to be Great Cinema. If it’s fun, the movies a success for me.

@@worlddd7777 no, I’m saying that there’s an enormous amount nostalgia with household names like Indiana Jones, so fans are going to have much higher expectations for a new Indiana Jones movie as opposed to a movie or a sequel from a lesser known/loved franchise. Perhaps “higher expectations” is a better way of putting it. But I do think it can begin to dip into the realm of “unrealistic” expectations.

You can’t compete with nostalgia. Expectations will never be met. Time changes and so do movies and the way they were made. Crystal Skulls isn’t a bad movie. It’s my least favorite of the four but it isn’t too far behind Temple of Doom. Were there things I didn’t like? Sure. Too much CGI for me. I also didn’t like certain things done in Temple and Crusade too. Temple of Doom has not aged well and The Last Crusade has some really corny scenes. Raiders is the only Indiana Jones movie that’s truly great.

But in this case, Lucasfilm went ahead and just hired Shamook, the guy who was doing the "better" deepfakes on KZread, after He did a better version of the Luke scene in Mandalorian as well as Deepfaking Harrison Ford's face with Chris Pratt and Tom Selleck. So they literally went and got "the guy", and put him to work on this movie. So I can't for a minute think that it's bad. Apparently it's a 25 minute scene. At some point, you're just going to get used to how it looks and get drawn in. Plus, apparently also this is a brand new technique that they haven't tried before to this extent.

At this point, we shouldn’t expect a “fun” Indy film. We should expect a GREAT Indy film with Ford’s age. We could have gotten a more classic feeling Indy movie. Looks like they crammed too much identity politics, feminism, etc. with Bridge. At least Crystal Skull didn’t have any of that nonsense.

Okay, I can kinda guess now the ‘back in time to ancient Rome’ bit is what is going to divide the audience. But I remember when Last Crusade came out and thinking ‘800 year old knight? That’s taking it too far.’ But when I think about it ghosts coming out of the Ark of the Covenant and melting an army of Nazis is also stretching believability. Dial sounds like a fun Indiana Jones movie.
Was never a huge Indiana Jones so never understood the hate for crystal skull. It feels legit like the other 2 sequels Raiders on the other hand is a great film

Looking forward to seeing this a bit more now! How long do you think till they reboot? 5 years? Indiana Jones is worth far too much money not to make more.
I love it. Haven’t seen an Adventure Movie like this on the Big Screen in a long time. Nostalgia kicks a few times. Not perfect but had a great time watching it. Thanks for trying always to be a fair. Most channels aren’t . Always looking for clickbait. Again thanks and keep the good work.
Let me break it down to the easiest way to explain this movie. If this movie cant stand side to side with raiders or last crusade then it never should have been made. People dont want to dollar store version of a character they love. Saying well its not great and its not what fans wanted says everything people need to know. This movie will end up losing buckets of money, because instead of giving fans what they really wanted. They gave us garbage and said like it or else...well, guess what. People arw choosing the what else at a rapid pace.
Basically you're saying you have seen worse. Average all the reviews I am hearing it seems 5 is ok, sort of like when a girl says "he's nice".
Thanks for the honest take, Kristian!!! I'd agree that Temple Of Doom is indeed dated, but if you were born 77-84, it's almost certainly going to hold a nostalgic place in your heart. SUPER relieved to hear this isn't on par with / is better than Crystal Skull. Honestly, so long as it's closer to the originally trilogy than it is to Crystal Skull, I'll almost certainly be a mostly satisfied fan. The original 3 films are a moment in time, and I'd be surprised if anything could ever get back to those films for most people, emotionally.

Anything Kathleen Kennedy does turns to crap. There are only 3 Indy films. "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Temple of Doom," and "Last Crusade." No one wants to see Indy degraded so Phoebe can shine.
I watched the first Indiana Jones movie recently and I loved. I liked it more than A New Hope. I'll give Indy 1 a 9.1/10. I'm 23 yo so of course I'm late to the party by 40 years.
I'm glad you liked it, even if it didn't live up to the first 3 for you. I still can't wrap my mind around everyone's hate for the 4th one. I don't get that at all. Whatever the ending is to this one, the way you talk about it has me very intrigued. Also, I really feel like there should've been more movies in this franchise given how much time has passed from 1981 until now. I never understood why there wasn't.

All Great movies have great endings that DONT divide fan base. This doesnt sound like one.

Nah... I just can't with Crystal Skull. And I can't understand the rehabilitation of its reputation in recent years online. I tried to watch it about 2 years ago and it's just as terrible as it was in 2008. It has a good opening 45 minutes and the rest of the movie just sucks. Because the movie just...dies. All the energy is gone from the movie as soon as they get to Peru. And then it just moves to paint by numbers. It goes element to element, and it has no feeling of danger or edge of your seat excitement. But I did enjoy the opening portion. I'll give it that.
I am excited about the fact that the ancient culture stuff in this one seems to be ancient Greece. I love the ancient history aspect of the Indiana Jones movies, and when you think about ancient cultures, Greece is right up there with the coolest of them. Since this is probably our last Indiana Jones movies, it seems perfectly appropriate that ancient Greece finally snuck in there at the end.

On IMDb, I gave it 8/10. I went in making every effort not to have my expectations, and with that got the proper balance of action and emotion that were appropriate for Indy at this stage in his life, that went well along the lines of Spielberg missing, as well as his trademark chaotic action - it was still there, and it had me on the edge of my seat, but I have to be critical to those who came in with the exact same appetite for 37-year-old Indy action, who wouldn’t make way for more weight to be given to the emotional side of it. An awesome send off for Indy.

There has been an awful backlash from "anti-woke" youtubers before even watching the movie, just based on fake leaks and stuff. I have complaints against this Hollywood "woke" agenda too, but let's be fair and at least WATCH THE MOVIE before bashing it.
The problem with films that have classic status in chapters that came before it is the repeat viewings of that film. This was Crystal Skulls problem, everyone walked out of that film saying not bad, enjoyed it. It's over time and repeat viewing that C Skull fell apart due to the trilogy its was always compared to.. Do I personally think this film will be the same, am thinking yes Because of the negative press, people will actually enjoy it with low expectations. Its those repeat viewing which will show us if it's a good film to sit with the trilogy..

Raiders, Temple of Doom , and last Crusaders for this 48 year old man and this new one The Dial of Destiny was good as well.
I am going to the movie a little guarded but excited. I have tickets for the family on opening day. I know alot of film critics like to really annalize a movie and nit pick things just for the sake of it. We all finish a film and come away with different feelings. I'm staying optimistic.
When I was a kid, my parents were going to take me and my brother to the movies to see what just came out. Of course, if you are older like me, you mostly saw trailers attached to other movies. Otherwise, you learned of movies through word of mouth or a review in the paper. I hadn’t even heard of this movie. Also, back then, there was the odd photo you could see of what we now call an anomaly on Mount Ararat. Many believed at the time, me included, that it was the Lost Ark of Noah. For whatever reason, I didn’t want to go. So, I asked, what was the movie about? My mom told me, it was some people looking for the Lost Ark of Noah… I protested, they found it! It is on that mountain! So a race to find some large thing on a mountainside? What was the movie called? Raiders of the Lost Ark I don’t think I will ever go in with such low expectations for a movie and be blown away with one of the best movies ever made. I have always loved this franchise.
I’m a big fan of this franchise excluding pt 4 so you gave a better than average rating so I’m still excited to see it.

You sir, @k2sworld are a fucking blind dunce. As a fan of Indiana Jones and his cinematic legacy, fan of all the comics, merchandise and fandom I get such a kick out of. People do genuinely love this character and are inspired or have been inspired in some fashion to persue the good, the heroic which Indy, as faulty as he may be sometimes, truly stands for. Relegating him to not only sidekick status, but: An old, sore, broken, alcohol dependant, divorced Dad to a dead son who is: ONLY to be upstaged by a smarmy, unearned self assured, cocky, ‘better than you because look how strong I am!’ gratingly obnoxious female “adventurer” WITH an equally annoying little boy she “adventures” with is beyond disgraceful to this wonderful character & his aforementioned legacy. If that newly released ‘tug at the heartstrings, nostalgia baited, swellingly epic & classically scored ’cobbled together promo video of all that were involved in this garbage “proper Indy send off” was actually sincere? Then every one of those people who said something in the video, from Kennedy, to Mangold, to Ford (to anyone putting up any money for this film attempt) should KNOW goddamn well what fans want to see. You know what they don’t want to see? Everything I mentioned that is ensuring I don’t part with A) my money & B) my time. All three original films and quite a bit of Crystal Skull are Indiana Jones. This is not. Spoiler: That grating bitch of a character knocks Indy out because he wants to wither away and die in ancient Rome, only to wake up to Marion kissing his ‘boo-boos’. Fuck your self and then some. This movie didn’t have to be some beautifully enigmatic unique groundbreaking masterpiece of a film. It had to capture the fun essence of what Indy was without having some dumb school marm cold cock the guy in the face, dragging his pathetic ass away from his suicidal “I give up” very NON Indy and very NON heroic resignation. And don’t give me any of this bullshit about “Ohhh welllll it’s a story about durrr duhhhh Man who used to be hero duhhh is in “changeinnng TimEzzzz durrr not relevant duhhh!!!” Give the goddamn guy some dignity and respect the fans want him to have.

I do not fully understand the rotten tomatoes ratings system but surely it translate to a 6 out of 10….I can’t see how anyone would think that was not fair and spot on. I would say Crystal Skull was a 5/10. If the ending means that woman is going to be in more films then I hate it because she’s awful, if the ending now means Indy won’t die alone then OK.
New channel for me also, and I really appreciate your take on the new Indy movie. I too am almost terrified to see it. As it is, I have to wait almost a full week to see it since have some family things that are gonna delay me, and I know all the bad review people will be out there tearing it down. I will have to avoid all that to enjoy it I think. But your review gives me hope. I like the 7 out of 10 review. Good solid review. If I can make it, we'll see! Thanks for a nice review!
So slightly better than Crystal Skull
I will wait until it comes out on Disney+.
Maybe Mangold can redeem himself with his Star Wars film. But that's a tall order under Kennedy.

@@marcoleone393 yes. I wouldn't be saying it isn't good if I haven't seen it. It's pretty rough. Ford deserves a far better swan song than this.
I liked the ending, but I would have preferred if it had been done just a little differently. I think 7/10 is totally fair, I'd go 7.5/10.
Great stuff Kristian! Love the Fallout Boy and Kanan Jarrus figures. Want!!
Maybe Dial of Destiny is a flop because my girlfriend was calling Harrison Ford an old man 10 years ago
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Movie Review: Say no more, I beg you. Let's not put into the ether that about Back to the Future... But 100% agree; The Last Crusade was about as good of an ending of a trilogy as you could get. For me, that's when the series ended. I'll likely watch this when it comes to streaming (and likely once, just like I did Crystal Skull).
I thought the movie lacked heart & it lacked Indiana Jones. I wouldn’t say it was fun either. For me it dragged without purpose.
1. Temple of Doom (by far) 2. Last Crusade 3. Raiders of the Lost Ark . . . . . . 4. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We'll see where Dial of Destiny ends up soon.

I love that you love Temple Of Doom so much. It’s an awesome movie
I pretty much agree with this...definitely felt like an Indy movie. The globe trotting and hunt for the Macguffin was as good as any Indy film. Anyone pretty much has to accept that the original three wont be matched in terms of quality and once you get past that the movie is pretty good overall.
I'm really excited about seeing this new movie! Satisfied is what I expect to be and was glad to hear that. I figure this movie will be good and I'm happy to know it draws back to more of the originality that made the movies back in the day so appealing.
Thanks for the honest take as always. Don't know why they wouldn't just use deepfakes after they hired Shamook. Even though he's no longer working there LF learned his techniques.
As someone who grew up with Indy, I'm going to enjoy this no matter what. Glad you enjoyed it too Kristian.
What would you rate the other ones if this is a 7/10?

Hes insane. Clearly wants to keep getting invited to Disney events.
At least Crystal Skull had some classic long take shots. I hear the new film abruptly cuts scenes. I still don't get the hate from Crystal Skull. Til this day, nobody has given me some legit reasons why it sucked.
So what was the contents in your “official” Lucasfilm access media gift bag this year? 😂
Indy's story finished perfectly in 1989. This is a sequel nobody asked for

Here we go. Another gatekeeping a-hole that thinks he speaks for all Indy fans
Once again, Disney pulls off the Disney effect, where they make a sequel so bad, it magically elevates all the shit that came before. It's the Dial of Dumkoffs. Worst Indy by far.
