A good movie and a good closing for the franchise. Harrison Ford is great, Phoebe Waller-Bridge as well.

Amazing movie. Does justice to the character and storyline. Don’t listen to all the negativity this movie took a big risk and I honestly think it succeeds. Overall a very enjoyable and impressive movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The underwhelming ending of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is better If you come in thinking that the lame rumored ending is true. Otherwise such an action packed adventure needed a more exciting ending. That is at least better than the ending that some fan on crack made up. That Indiana Jones erases himself to make it his goddaughter Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) who went on all his adventures all along.
A lot of fans weren’t excited because they actually expected that ending. Thinking they knew for sure that was the ending.
Thank god it isn’t but the one we got is kind of cute and heartwarming, just underwhelming. Now that I got that out of the way. The movie feels like a more old school Indiana Jones adventure than Crystal Skull.
Indiana also isn’t pushed aside so his Helena Shaw gets all the action. He actually gets more if you count the CGI beginning. While Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) was made to be a villain in an Indiana Jones film. Toby Jones is also perfectly cast as an Indy sidekick in the 1930’s.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is well cast and has the look of an actress from the 30-60’s. You’re just not going to like her throughout if you think she is there to steal the franchise. Which it is dumb if anyone thought that. When Harrison Ford will never ever let anyone replace him as Indiana Jones… Expand

Given that Last Crusade should have been the ending of the series, this one at least improves upon Crystal Skull as a final outing. A lot doesn’t totally work. It’s long and needs some tightening up and has too many chase scenes. Some of theGiven that Last Crusade should have been the ending of the series, this one at least improves upon Crystal Skull as a final outing. A lot doesn’t totally work. It’s long and needs some tightening up and has too many chase scenes. Some of the dialogue and more emotional scenes are good but feel slightly off. Nevertheless it’s really enjoyable (in a way that Crystal Skull was not). The new characters work on the whole. The whole movie is not quite the nostalgia fest that the trailer suggested (though there’s a little bit of that). Seeing Indy as an old man in the late 60s is probably my favorite part. A bit wistful.
One good thing going for it is when it’s over it leaves you thinking about it for a while, even if you’re not sure how much you liked it.… Expand

For the first time Steven Spielberg is no longer directing, just as George Lucas is absent in the conception and writing of the subject, of the story (but both are still executive producers).
The engaging and interesting screenplay, written by Mangold together with Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth and David Koepp, is an exact mix of action and insight.
Although this film comes out 42 years after "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it is set in 1969, 33 years after the 1936 story and picks up the events 12 years after "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".
It can be considered a better episode than the previous 2008 film, although inferior to the first and third.
Directed by James Mangold works, is effective, and does not make Spielberg regret too much in infusing the work with the right dose of passion, sense of entertainment and irony, on the iconic notes of John Williams.
Formally it is impeccable: the breathtaking style of the sequences - especially the chase ones - goes well with the quality technical-visual sector (scenography, photography, accurate editing; but also the special visual effects that rejuvenate the protagonist are excellent).
The eighty-year-old (but in dazzling form) Harrison Ford is not affected by the passing of time, indeed, with his character he travels through it; while his duets with his goddaughter color the story of a fragile and unexpected humanity (Indy this time is caught in a new perspective, the melancholic and twilight one of the final part of his life and his retirement from academic life, but also the one that he sees uneasily in a world that begins to flow differently and in which he doesn't know if he's ready to face one more last race).
The rest of the cast is all in part (Mads Mikkelsen as villain is convincing. Phoebe Waller-Bridge brilliantly manages to play Helena, making her shrewd and feisty – with her self-sufficiency, audacity and resourcefulness, she carries an echo of the past, rekindles the enthusiasm for adventure and gives new life to Indiana Jones. Finally, Ethann Isidore, who gives the face to the very young Teddy, can't help but make one think of the Ke Huy Quan present in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"), and their characters they show a very touching human frailty (Sallah, played by John Rhys-Davies, driving Indy to the airport, tells him he misses waking up every morning wondering what adventure the day will bring).
Associated with the theme of the inevitable passing of the years is also the idea of Time travel (one's problems cannot be erased by changing the past, but one can always remember the good that a person has given and experienced...).
The archaeological mystery linked to the Antikythera machine built by Archimedes is truly intriguing and also gives meaning to the last adventure of an Indiana Jones who lived for a long time in the past and now has to rediscover himself and the importance of the present.
In terms of narrative construction and staging, there is perhaps a lack of authentic and intense charm (sense of wonder, epic scope and original ideas), but the film, which moves between nostalgia and vitality, is nonetheless very enjoyable and pleasant. The film is a thrilling and exciting adventure, which, between evocative atmospheres and great entertainment, good rhythm and final emotion, greets the saga with respect and affection. Score: 7 / 7.50 out of 10… Expand

It just has a spunky female character. Everybody chillAt this point, the whole anti-woke movement is so deranged they are seeing an agenda in anything Disney puts out. This movie is not hyper woke by any stretch, nor is it overtly political. It just has a spunky female character. Everybody chill out. What's overlooked in these discussions is that these movies have always been this way. It was a trope in the 80s for there to be a male lead who was treating a female character like a damsel in distress, only the female character turned out to be ballsy and not need saving at all. It's Princess Leia in A New Hope, grabbing the blaster, telling her "rescuers" that they're basically idiots and leading the charge to escape.

As far as what's ACTUALLY on screen in this movie, it was decent. It felt underwritten. The jokes don't land. Ford seems to be giving a committed performance and it's a pleasure to see him put his heart into something and remind us all of the actor he once was before he settled into grumpy cameos. The final sequence was truly beautiful. But much of the movie is noisy and overlong, intersperesed with real charm.

It was definitely mixed but I enjoyed it.… Expand

After the low point of Crystal Skull things could only go up. And if I'm being honest, every film after Raiders was diminishing returns. While I'll always defend Spielberg, it seems like it took James Mangold to get us back to the essence of the original film - and know to know what to do with one character in particular. It's certainly a tough crowd this summer, but I think time will treat this one kindly.… Expand

Granted, some offerings of this type genuinely deserve whatever grief they get, but others, such as the latest installment in this long-running franchise, don’t merit unfair potshots fired at them just for innately being mainstream offerings. In many ways, this is very much cut from the same cloth as its action adventure predecessors, but there are enough distinctions, new developments and lesser-known elements to keep it fresh and interesting throughout. Now, this is not to suggest that this final entry in this action adventure series is without its faults – it’s overlong, some of its action sequences could have been easily pared back (despite generally being as good as they are) and the storyline tends to sag somewhat in the middle. However, Indiana Jones has once again given us a rollicking good time with a captivating narrative, an intriguing assortment of twists and turns, and an array of colorful characters all vying for their piece of the pie (if not the entire pie itself). The film also provides fans of the franchise with deftly handled touches at achieving closure for the series, without dangling obvious or ambiguous carrots of there being more to come or any kind of impending reboot. Director James Mangold successfully puts the series to bed and tucks it in nicely while rounding off any remaining edges, something that it and its fans deserve. So, to all those cynics out there who are shamelessly bashing this release to be fashionable or hip, all I can say is “pipe down and lose the attitude already.”… Expand

There were some odd choices like how they used Harrison's current voice for scenes with 80's Indy deep fake, which looked real but still slightly artificial, should have adjusted his voice to match his age at the time as well because he sounded like an old man (which Harrison is today). Mads Mikkelsen is an incredible actor, what a joy to watch. Really enjoyed listening to the main Indy theme soundtrack at the end, perfect summer moment.

The character development is stronger in this film than in previous installments, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge makes an excellent turn as Jones' non-romantic sidekick. This franchise has always succeeded in delighting audiences with thrills and plots that are not meant to be taken too seriously. It's a great summer film, and I for one hope that Waller-Bridge comes back to take over from Ford in future films.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watched it with my 10-year old son in the cinema. It's solid. It's not Raiders. It's not Temple. But it's solid. Was that de-aging necessary? Probably not. Could I have told if it wasn't for the Interwebz? Probably not. Would I love to see Indy on a giant suspension bridge hundreds of meters above a crocodile infested roiling river, clothes hanging in shreds from a shredded body, instead of a Goonies sized bridge across a small waterway? Yeah. Is Harrison Ford 80 years old? Yeah.
Man. It's Indy. It was fun. My son had fun. It won't win awards and I won't pretend it's memorable. But we got Indy back for one last - decent - ride - that's good enough in my book. My only real complaint is that they should have given Marion more to do...also Mutt RIP (good decision).… Expand

Bit of a let down, although I enjoyed the bit players in the movie, Toby Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, John Rhys-Davies and fun cameo by Karen Allen. Felt the film's script was a little cheesy, too many chase scenes, movie is overly reliant on CGI and the de-aging of Harrison Ford, I felt, was distracting and didn't do the movie justice. My favorite film of the Indiana Jones franchise is still Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nothing beats the original. Dial of Destiny lacks the magic and heroics of the first film, but it does provide entertainment and a solid supporting cast.… Expand

It met expectations. The characters were very good and it was a nice farewell to the Indiana Jones series. Harrison Ford never disappoints.

This movie had good acting, action and fast pace from start to finish, and we both can only come to the conclusion that if you didn't like the movie, then you must not have liked any of the others in the series. My immediate reaction afterwards was "this might be my favorite in the whole series". Cheers… Expand

And for good measure, I had rewatched Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull - my two least favourite Indy movies - before seeing this new movie. And this was a pleasant surprise! Very pleasant even! Maybe the first quarter of the film, I wasn't too convinced yet, but I opened my heart, and I did love the film! Absolutely better than the fourth one, for sure.

Now, was this movie needed? That's a tricky question. If Indiana Jones 4 didn't exist, then no, this new one would feel unnecessary. But in the real world, this Indiana Jones 5 offers a rather entertaining epilogue. And now, I almost feel bad that the film apparently couldn't find an audience. If you were a fan of Indiana Jones, but were disappointed by Indiana 4. do give this new movie a chance, this might just bring you the closure that you didn't know you needed.… Expand

Bombastic with enough creativity in scenes and locations. However, the antagonists script was very weak. Both casting (except Mads Mikkelsen) and acting was very basic.

It takes place in interesting locations, there are a lot of action scenes and a great feeling of adventure.
I don't like how they portrayed Indy as being sad and sulking about his life, and this was a really negative point for me, but it doesn't ruin the movie or anything.
It can be super over the top, but Indiana Jones' movies have always been like that, and it's part of it, it doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should we, it's a cool and entertaining movie.
I am a bit contrary to most Indy fans out there, I really like Crystal Skull and dislike Temple of Doom, I know I'll get hate for saying this, but it's just so you know where I stand when it comes to this franchise.
Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) can be annoying at first, but she manages to become likable as the movie progress. Maybe Harrison Ford was only in it for the money, but he still delivers great acting and I gotta say, the beginning of the movie, with young Indy, is fantastic both in technical terms and scenes, the whole train section was amazing.… Expand

While she does spend too much time providing unfunny comic relief, her character is in no way disrespectful to men. That being said, I have mixed feelings about “Dial of Destiny”. Early in the film, there is a thrilling chase scene that takes place at a parade in New York. It was really cool to see Indy in a 1960’s setting. Unfortunately, the entire second act feels lethargic, since it takes place in the middle of the ocean.
I have more thoughts, but I’d either be beating a dead horse with all the reviews already posted, or giving spoilers. Overall, I prefer “Dial of Destiny” over “Crystal Skull”. Whereas that movie was utterly mediocre, there are things to like in this one. But don’t expect it to be as good as the classic trilogy.… Expand

After the opening, the rest of Dial of Destiny entertained me in an old-fashioned way. It is still adventurous, curious, and fun, which is all I ask for in an Indy movie made in 2023.

Es ist das Jahr 1969, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) gibt seine letzte Lesung und will seinen Ruhestand genießen. Doch da kommt sein Patenkind Helena Show (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) und möchte, dass Indy ihr hilft, die zweite Hälfte vom Mechanismus von Antikythera. Dabei werden sie von Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) verfolgt, einem Nazi, der über die Niederlage nicht hinwegkommt und durch den Mechanismus den Sieg Deutschlands einleiten möchte.

Harrison Ford ist mittlerweile 80 Jahre alt und spielt zum aller letzten Mal die Rolle des Indiana Jones. Wie schon in Teil 4 wo er 66 Jahre alt war, gibt es hier das gleiche Problem, dass Indiana Jones nicht viel zu tun hat. Doch in diesem Teil hat er mehr zu tun als in dem Vorgänger. Der Prolog ist der beste Teil des Films. Dort wurde Ford verjüngt, durch CGI und das sieht richtig gut aus. Dort ist Indy auch noch in voller Action und wirkt wie der Indy aus den ersten 3 Filmen. Danach bekommt er eine Partnerin, die ihm helfen soll und diese ist dafür da, dass Indy nicht komplett hilflos ist und für Gags. Die Gags funktionieren wie in Teil 4 auch überhaupt nicht und wenn es gute Gags gibt, sind die nur durch Ford. Es gibt auch wieder mehr Rätsel als im Vorgänger und auch mehr Fallen. Außerdem gibt es ein Hindernis, was es in noch keinem Indiana Jones Film gab, was ich sehr gut fand. Es gibt natürlich viele Easter Eggs und Anspielungen auf alte Filme, diese funktionieren auch gut. Mads Mikkelsen als Bösewicht ist super, hat, zwar nicht viel Charakter, aber spielt ihn super und er ist auch eine Bedrohung und sein Ziel ist aus seiner Sicht auch sinnvoll. Es gibt hier einen Twist am Ende, welchen viele wie auch in Teil 4 hassen werden, da er unrealistisch ist, aber mir hat dieser trotzdem gefallen.

Indiana Jones und das Rad des Schicksals ist ein durchschnittlicher Abenteurerfilm, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Von der Indiana Jones Reihe her ist er definitiv besser als Teil 4, aber kommt nicht an den ersten 3 Teilen heran. Wer Teil 4 nicht mochte, wird Teil 5 wahrscheinlich, auch nicht mögen.

Based on everything we knew about the movie, I thought it was gonna be bad or mediocre, but it was actually great. Now, I don't expect anyone to agree, it's for sure a hot take, but to me, this movie was everything I didn't think it would be. The first 15 or so minutes where Harrison Ford is de-aged is fantastic. It's fun and exciting and feels like it could be a scene from the original trilogy. After that, ew flash forward to 1969, where Indy is around 70. After that, the actual plot starts and we get introduced to Helen, Indy's goddaughter. A lot of reviews made her sound innsufferable, but she wasn't, but she wasn't per say likeable. i wasn't fuming whenever she opened her mouth, but I never got attached to her. Both other acts are also fantastic. The action isn't as spectacular as the other movies, but still a lot of fun, the comedic bits work well, and the ending is truly perfect, and I'm happy we got this movie, and didn't end it on the note we did in Crystal Skull. I do kinda get why people wouldn't like the movie, but to me, it was everything I didn't think the movie would be. A truly fantastic final entry and a movie I will defend with my life!… Expand

Without Lucas or Spielberg at the writing/directing helm, Indiana Jones doesnt truly exist and so this really is the best effort possible from others to get close to that original sauce.

Every bit as entertaining as it was sacrilegious. DialWithout Lucas or Spielberg at the writing/directing helm, Indiana Jones doesnt truly exist and so this really is the best effort possible from others to get close to that original sauce.

Every bit as entertaining as it was sacrilegious. Dial of destiny is an impressive use of the original film cast shot quite nicely with a decent effort to keep the pacing close to the Spielberg style. Sadly the screenplay and casting of Phoebe as an unattractive mary sue sidekick and a bizarre focus on some random CIA agent character really dragged the film along IMO. Still considering how much worse I had expected this to be I was pretty impressed.… Expand
