The two biggest questions I had going into Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny were: will it be fun and will the film stay true to the character of Indiana Jones. The answer, I'm pleased to say, is yes on both counts. It's a ton of fun. I had a blast. Read full review

A terrific thrill ride. With Ford in fine form, Indy’s last stand is a highly satisfying blend of action, humour and emotion. Read full review

The damn thing is fun. Mangold may not have the young Spielberg’s musical flair for extravagant action choreography (who does?), but he is a tougher, leaner director, using a tighter frame and keeping his camera close. Read full review

Nobody with a brain in their heads will compare Dial of Destiny favourably to the first three films. There is a sense throughout of a project struggling to stand beneath the weight of its history. But Mangold, director of Logan and 3.10 to Yuma, knows how to keep his foot on the pedal. The recreations of the 1960s vistas are gorgeous. The agreeable cameos keep coming. Read full review

The Dial of Destiny starts with a prologue that easily stands up against the classic trilogy, is often disarmingly poignant and never less than entertaining. Much of this is down to Ford, who has always excelled at bringing depth and charm to a character who on paper is fundamentally little more than a silhouette. Read full review

Unfortunately, much of said action is old hat (pun intended), with the bulk of this strangely peril-free offering playing like a refried compendium of golden moments from Spielberg’s original trilogy. Read full review

"Dial of Destiny” is, if anything, even more breathless and filled with stunts than “Raiders,” but everyone’s feats look like insipid fakery. Read full review

Better than expected! Fords greatest acting performance in the role. Fun story with great side characters. Amazing way for Ford to end his tenure as the character.

Forget Spielberg’s virtuosic way with movement and blocking. It’s like pulling teeth just to get Mangold to give us a single wide shot. Along with the Party City level production design and some of the dullest, brownest cinematography I’ve ever seen in a $300 million blockbuster, IndianaForget Spielberg’s virtuosic way with movement and blocking.

Went to watch this yesterday. I was sitting with 8-10 others in a 300 seaters. I would say that this is a horrible movie,the deaging work was terrible, Indianas mouth was out of sync.in a few scenes. The strong woman trope was plagueing this movie like Ebola. And when there was 1 hour leftWent to watch this yesterday. I was sitting with 8-10 others in a 300 seaters.

I thought that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was pretty decent, to be honest. This was not.

Worst movie ever made by Lucasfilm and that includes the Last Jedi. Kathleen Kennedy should be fired and Harrison Ford only made it for the $20M payday:
