Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny (2023) Thread

[Saint1]

This addition to the Indy franchise was the complete definition of mid. I WANTED to like it, but I was pretty much bored through out the majority of the movie.

The action scenes was cool and how they CGI’d Harrison Ford to look young was very impressive. But other then that, there was really no reason why this movie should have been made.

I mean I understand Indy fans wanted the sour taste of “Crystal Skull” out of their mouths. But this “final” addition to the franchise didn’t help it much.

I’m glad Ford found some closure from the character.

Spielberg should have directed this..

Damn. That's exactly what I was afraid of

This is the best possible Indy flick they could make in 2023 with an 80 year old Ford.

Taking my dad to see this at noon tomorrow


Low expectations

Has anybody rewatched Crystal Skull?

I rewatched the 3 last month (I throw them on in the background often anyway) and thought about watching 4 before getting into 5. Has it maybe aged better than I think?

Haven't watched since it came out.

Yikes. Looks like Flash won’t be the biggest bomb of the year after all.

Feels like everything flopped this year

Yes. I just got back from seeing this and I agree. I was bored pretty much from the time they left the US. It just didn't seem to be relevant for some reason. Are we to believe that this chick is going to be the new Indy? and WTF did they have that stupid kid in this? I mean we don't need another Short Round to make a movie decent.
I did like Toby Jones for his short bit. I liked him in the TV show the Detectorists too.

Yeah that kid was annoying asf, i wanted to shave off his unibrow every time he was on screen

Probably aged even worse than it was due to Shia lebouf being the IT guy at that time

Went in not expecting anything.

I loved it. Lots of surprises, callbacks. Harrison Ford is the man. He’s still my hero. It’s not a perfect movie but it was great. Fun adventure.

I don’t want to spoil it but I want them to make another movie based on the concept as the first 15 minutes of this movie. That part blew me away.

We ended up seeing this... this weekend and let me tell y'all, it's a pretty good movie! No cap. It's a cool little action/adventure movie as you'd expect, the locations are dope and the plot line is much better and well thought out than Indy 4. It was a good way to end this series. Don't sleep.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

The early review I read said "we didn't know how good we had it with Crystal Skull"

That's cap. This is better than that. I'm not saying this is a classic Indiana Jones but it's fun and had some nice callbacks. It didn't have anything as dumb as that movie.

It’s definitely gonna bomb. My theater was only a quarter filled. Which is super rare over here. Especially open night

I saw it yesterday. My theater wasn't even half full.

June was so much of a box office bloodbath that it got Margot Robbie and Tom Cruise promoting each other’s films.

I think it’s weird none of those tentpoles took advantage of that late April slot. Two weeks after Super Mario and two weeks before Guardians. Could’ve made more money. Oh well.

 

[Brandsdale]

Never understood the huge CGI gripes with films lately but THIS shyt actually looked bad as fukk

The chase in the streets in them go karts looked like they was moving 200mph lmao

Same. Dope movie to me. They picked up all of Indy’s strengths: fighting Nazis, reused old locations, reused the fighting tropes that we loved in the originals, brought back some old faces (literally), it all felt very Indiana-esque.
