God it's awful. What a disgraceful end to a legendary character and franchise. Indy is reduced to a broken down shell of a man by KK and her agenda.

Indy is reduced to a broken down shell of a man by KK and her agenda. What a surprise that we are treated to yet another strong female character in a Disney film. How's that worked out for them previously? Phoebe Waller Bridge is insufferable. I'm struggling to think of a more dislikeable character in any other film. I mean what even is she? The film sure can't decide with her personality changing every five minutes.

The film is a series of average chase scenes with bland sections in between. Even the praised opening 20 minutes is nothing particularly special. It's simply the only section of the film that reflects the classic trilogy.

I re-watched the Crystal Skull after seeing this for the second time after being very disappointed during my first viewing. This film makes it look good in comparison. They really should have looked at Maverick to see how to bring back a classic beloved character and give the fans what they want. They didn't as their agenda is what matters the fans don't matter in the slightest.… Expand

Oh but it's a fake. Only to find out the movie is about time travel. Really. To give you an idea how bad the movie was received by the theater audience no one laughed at all. When it ended my daughters boyfriend started to clap. After he applauded with a weak clap of two hands snacking each other literally NO one clapped with him which made him put his hands down. When people walked out of this half empty theater on 3 days after it's release with dead silence what does that tell you.… Expand

Same pattern with StarYet another iconic franchise and character by the original Lucasfilm, ruined by Kathleen Kennedy. Shoving in a female character as basically the lead, not because she is a well written character but because of gender. Same pattern with Star Wars... Taking Luke Skywalker, making him a weakling who meets the "perfect" female character to be better than him, and steals his last name. Indy was also a beloved treasure hunter that got ram fu*ked by, you guessed it, a "strong female character", who will take his position.
I am done with new movies, this whole day and age is screwed beyond repair...
Why is it so hard to create female characters which are good, and not make the entire premise of that character gender based ????

Where are characters like Ripley, Ashoka, Gwen Stacy, Interprete (Evil Dead Rise),Liara (Mass Effect) ????… Expand

Helena is unbearable, annoying and leaves Indy to die, twice... and yes, she is thief and sociopath, it's impossible to like her. Why this film was made (except money)? There is no scene or dialogue worth to remember. Generic adventure movie - all the elements are there but no soul. Time travel did not work, as always, it's just gimmick to make plot. Lots of plot-holes and "teleportation". Even chasing sequences were boring! How it is possible?!? JOYLESS, UNNECESSARY, SOULLESS cash grab: chaotic, BOOOORING and TOO LONG... 'Unnecessary' is the key word. Another IP is dead. At least Indiana Jones parts 1-3 still are good and perfectly concluded... Even "Crystal Skull" didn't bruise Indiana Jones' character like that... Save your money (and time), I just lost mine. **Strangly my longer and detailed review did not make it to publication on MC.**… Expand

The weakest Indiana Jones, ever! A film not for entertainment but for moral education of adolescents... A naive- instructive children's story, reminding of the Spanish teenage soap operas of the 80s, Soviet youth cinema of the same period in combination with Sesame Street, aiming to awaken the love for mathematics, physics, history... because mathematics according to the scriptwriter will make you gods... as if the producer and performer were not Disney, but the North Korean Ministry of Education aiming to educate exemplary and inquisitive, atheistic students... And the ending is just pathetic, the scholarly Greeks of Archimedes and the war-loving cruel Romans. ... Instilling the trampy feeling throughout the film that the Nazis are the Romans and the American government, just speechless... forget about Professor Indy being fawned over by the beautiful student… Expand

Another classic character destroyed by the Disney/Lucasfilm machine. It’s beautiful irony that the concept of “capitalism” critiqued in this movie will lead to it losing 100s of millions for the studio

Indiana Jones 5 is definitely not a good movie. The characters weren't great, the story wasn't fantastic, and there were parts in the movie that felt unnecessary and dragged out. Indiana Jones 5 is definitely the worst movie out of the entire series.

What was delivered here is so bad and so terrible, without words! This has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with Indiana Jones, but is the wishful thinking of a thoroughly mentally ill woman named Kathleen Kennedy. The first 15 minutes are bearable, but then it kicks off with that horrible toxic feminist horse-faced Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge. A total miscast! Know-it-all, permanently in the foreground, annoying and annoying with their stupid views and sick values, one wishes their death soon, so that Indy can finally fill his role, but no chance! After leaving the theater, I thought of the hard earned money I had spent on this atrocity. If you loved and still love the old TRUE Indiana Jones movies, DO NOT watch! The movie is a total disaster!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I agree with most of the other reviews. Something I don't read however, but bothered me a lot is the message of this movie. For some reason stealing is now glorified in Disney movies. A kid steals money from another kid to buy ice cream. Never is there any consequence. Even when stealing from Indy and being caught, the kid doesn't even want to give back the stolen item until the annoying girl orders him to.

Stealing is not new in movies, but often is done for a bigger cause, like feeding a sibling or something at least honorable. Here it's just about buying ice cream and having shiny items. Also no arc where the character grows and learns from his mistakes. In the end the same kid ends up murdering a guy under water. A kid murdering a guy in a Disney movie, without any remorse or consequence. He didn't even need to murder the guy as a fence was between them both so he was perfectly able to escape. Next, there's the bad guys, who end up killing bystanders throughout this movie for no reason other than to show how bad they are. I don't know why, but it always feels misplaced when people are murdered point blank for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't remember this being a thing in the older movies. The killing always seemed to have a purpose in the story. Here it's needless, the airport guard had no purpose and didn't need to be murdered point blank. Same with the people in the archive at the start. Just pointless murder as if we need to be shown the baddies are really bad.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Disaster is what I would fear Hollywood/Disney would soon become. Generically predictable and making the same garbage we got from the past. And believe it or not, the first 15 minutes of Dial tone of density is actually amazing. The action kicks of in 1944 when ww2 is happening and CGI Harrison Ford is collecting a sphere that turns out to be a fake, the dial of destiny, I GUESS, is actually real and he has to save his friend and Vollen get a pipe smacked into his face 70 mph, but he's thanos so that's cool. I can also say that the CGI on Harrison Ford is MOSTLY pretty decent, but in some scenes it looks rubbery and was set at night for a reason, but it did feel like a indy movie. And after the first 15 minutes, the good stuff pretty much ends there, audiences. And here's some "cool" thing that the star wars the last Jedi added to the film. Indy is a cold depressed old man that has NOTHING to live for and we get a plucky female character named HELL-ena who is the worst character in this series. The main plot of this film is going country to country to get the dial and Vollen is still alive and hunts Indy down to get the other half of the dial. Indiana Jones is not Indiana Jones in this film, he is Luke Skywalker from the last jedi, he literally needs a plucky female character to show him the way and the lady tells him he's a piece of crap and how he's a grave robber and tells him constantly. I hate this lady because like people say, she's SO arrogant and is annoying. And we learn that Mutt died because the actor who played mutt didn't want to come back to the series. And Indy gets shot and captures him and I don't want to discuss how short round, sorry, UUUUUUHHHHHHH, teddy and HELL-ena got on the plane, she asks if he has flown a plane before, he says no, and HELL-ena says that he has NEVER flown a plane before. WHY the F*@# did you even ASK you incompitent piece of s#!T, Why!? So anyways, in the third act, Indiana Jones starts kicking some real good @$$ like the good old days. Just kidding, he doesn't do crap. Hell-ena saves indy and Vollen gets shot and his crew starts shooting romans and vollan and his crew dies on a plane when they crash. And Indy want to commit suicide and die here, but HELL-ena knocks him out and brings him back to 1969. The ending is kind of good with doing the same scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but Marion needs kisses and they both kiss and The End. And other parts of the film I don't want to mention {but I really want to} because it just came out so don't waste your money on this bombing piece of garbage .… Expand

It's the Jungle Cruise effect that Disney tries every time. Ford's acting was fine, such as it was, but Phoebe Waller-Bridge is insufferable and lacks any charisma whatsoever. Framing the US as the enemy in the film, as Nazis no less, was just an insult for a July 4th weekend film. It was boring, lacked practical effects, and looked artificial. There was some serious uncanny valley in almost every shot. Mishandling this film and franchise, after so much fail with Star Wars, it is clear that Disney has reached a new low. It is a forgettable film that is poorly executed and poorly cast.… Expand

Some scenes, especially the intro and the scenes in the cave, are so overly dark that it is hard to make things out. This was obviously to cover up shoddy effects work, most of which looked poor and definitely brought down the movie. This thing looked awful and there is no excuse for it considering the money that was sunk into this. The action sequences are equally unappealing. They happen far too frequently and last way too long. During the first half of the film, you never had a moment to just enjoy it. It was just numbing action sequence after action sequence.

As for what little pros this film does have. The plot, which does include time travel, is fine. Mads is great as the villain. Other than that, It's a forgettable entry that had me checking my watch constantly to see how much time I had left. I contemplated leaving many times because I was so bored with it. Crystal Skull is a way better send-off for Indiana than this trash. Dial of Destiny is a shallow cash grab and nothing more.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For a long-time fan of the Indiana Jones movies, it was a bummer to see them go out not with a bang but with a whimper. It was completely soulless, with the main, but not the only, reason being that Harrison Ford's face was superimposed on a stunt man's head and de-aged for way too long at the beginning. I found myself unable to move past this shockingly bad use of CGI and enjoy the rest of the movie. Also, things are rarely explained; the film just moves from one action set piece to the next with seemingly no raison d'etre. We don't get to spend enough time with these characters to learn about or start empathizing with them before they start running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The action sequences are very tame for an installment in a film series that has yielded some of the most thrilling action scenes of all time. Probably the most disappointing experience I've ever had at the movies, and an embarrassment for all involved. I blame Disney and Harrison Ford for beating this dead horse. Not sure if it sucked because Lucas and Spielberg sat this one out, but that's most likely the case. Having seen the film, I honestly couldn't tell you whether James Mangold has ever seen an Indiana Jones movie in his life. The film seemingly had nothing in common with the previous ones in the series. It made Crystal Skull look like a work of art. Time for a reappraisal of that film, anyone?… Expand
