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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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 was at the 2nd showing in Cannes…the showing without all the celebs etc, just real critics and their friends/family (me!). 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.

@@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.
