This first 20 minutes of this feel like a love story to the old Spielberg movies. Why couldn't they have done a whole movie like this? I'm not complaining because I thought Phoebe Waller-Bridge was pretty spot on as a Lara Croft meets Princess Leia type of heroine (pretty badass) but I'm definitely in love with the start of Dial of Destiny. I'll probably have to see it again this weekend but my initial impressions are that it's a top 3 movie of all top (Maybe top 2?). It was definitely worth the watch and definitely better than Crystal Skull.
If princess nepotism was hotter I'd want to watch this
And thats the problem. She is not. Nor is she charismatic, or even the least bit interesting. The nepotism and faux feminist virtue signalling is so clear, it makes the movie even more of a crash grab. First post unironically best post.
because the point of the movie was a bait-and switch. you get 15 minutes of CGI Indiana first (the story was ok but deaged CGI Harrison Ford was just creepy) and then the character they really want to push takes over and they just give little crumbs to old indy to make it less obvious..
>Responding to OP as if he were sincere and not a blatant shill
New to Cinemaphile?
does it matter? there's almost no real discussion on this site anymore. now i got my little Indy 5 opinion off my chest and can move on.
>Everyone who disagrees with me is being personally bankrolled by the studio to spout these opinions on a French basket-weaving forum.
>he pretends there are no blatant shills on Cinemaphile
you have to try harder for your paycheck
Why are you pretending you watched the movie? The person you got that from hadn't watched it either btw
>Why are you pretending you watched the movie? The person you got that from hadn't watched it either btw
Nah, PWB really was like Lara Croft meets Princess Leia.
>Lara Croft meets Princess Leia
this exact phrase keeps getting posted, frick off shill
Did we see the same movie? She was a thief, con artist interested in her self gain for the majority of the film. She was more of an anti hero than anything close to the characters you compared her to. Also nice bait
the intro was good but the rest of the movie was lacking
>This first 20 minutes of this feel like a love story to the old Spielberg movies
it was a reshoot. wasn't originally in the movie.
Shill?
You didn’t see the movie. Here’s your free pass to Universal Hogwarts you israelite bastard.
>like a love story to the old Spielberg movies
Frick off to reddit you homosexual.
I thought Helena was more of a female Han Solo except she's more of an unrepentant criminal.
The thing I found so engaging was Mangold's vision and direction. I mean here's a guy who was clearly inspired by Spielberg. This clearly shows in the film. It took me a couple of watches to get where he was going with it, but Dial of Destiny definitely feels like it belongs with the rest of the Indiana Jones classics.
I really liked the burly thug they had around until he died.
He had the most savage death. And the little coomer got character growth having to learn how to swim.
>Mangold's vision and direction
What vision? It's Spielberg's characters and series. those are his films.
>clearly inspired by Spielberg
yeah NO SHIT. this isn't the first Indiana Jones movie. it's not "inspired", it's a total ripoff to do it without Spielberg and frick Ford too for going along with it.
No offense but you guys probably watched the leaked cam version. It's 10x better on IMAX in theaters, I bet you would change your minds if you saw it in high quality like the director intended.
if the director intended me to watch it that way he should come pick me up and pay for my ticket to watch this garbage
wasn't positive your previous posts were bait but this one gives me peace thank you homosexual
his directing sucked, half the time you couldn't tell the location, how the action was flowing, his blocking sucks too
Spielbergo
lol its like one of those pink floyd albums with roger waters. it's ass .
This was the saddest movie experience of my life. I watched it with my father and uncle on a lazy Sunday since we had nothing else to do. The theater was almost empty save for a few other middle-aged people. The movie was overlong and dull. It wasn’t terrible but it made no effect on any of us. I returned home to read articles about how it’s bombing at the box office and how movie theaters might be on the brink of extinction. It felt like I went to a funeral. Cinema is genuinely dying.
And then your dad flatlined.
and thats a good thing
This might be a first for Cinemaphile but I agree with you OP, the first 20 minutes are the real movie, the rest is baggage. In fact I'll go a step further and say the last 10 minutes ruin the entire film. He should have stayed in the past and it should have ended there.
Incel got filtered
>Incel got filtered
Have you seen the other films? Indy always has to give up the fortune and glory for the greater good. If he stayed history would have been changed and the cost of which is unknown. Messing with the time stream is fricking up our IRL world as we speak. CERN anyone?
it's a closed loop, that means that if he stayed the world would be fine because they already knew the side effects of their time travel have always been around. that's why archimedes' tomb had the propellers and he had a watch.
You have it half right. But the loop ends after arche gets all the loot. If indy stayed he could have been carrying bacteria of say the common cold and fricked the entire future. Indy staying or going is not apart if the loop.
Please consider using spoilers, some people here may want to still see the movie in theaters.
Go back
The Nazis win in the end. Like wtf do you think happens moron?
wtf is this true
Of course not. The Nazis all die and the day is saved. The end.
What I got from it is that, basically, James Mangold hit it out of the park. It FEELS like a Indiana Jones movie, and there was a very noticable vibe in our theater.
kinda THE BARE MINIMUM one would expect from a film with INDIANA JONES in the title.
>oowweee it feels like an Indiana Jones movie! hee hee!
ah yeah a winning formula of making a 5th franchise movie with death bed original actor where the next generation ugly british b***h brow beats him for 2.5 hours. and we're supposed to believe this wasn't something straight from the inner thoughts of kathleen kennedy?
Not what happened in the film.
which part of that post was not in the film?
Your entire post. See the film for yourself. Harrison is not on his death bed. He will live past his death 100 or die saving someone’s life IRL. He’s the real deal. Look up his real life escapades
Kathleen Kennedy has an amazing record as a producer... literally billions of dollars of profits. I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.
and what franchises and iconic characters did she create again? i forget.
Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Star Wars. Filmmaking is a collaboration, she had her hands in all these movies
What's next for Ms.K?
so did the caterers, i'm sure they could run Lucasfilm better than her
AKA she went to the bank and cashed a check while talented directors and writers made those movies
Just like she did on the Star Wars Sequels, except with less talented directors and writers.
Either she's partly responsible for good movies and bad movies or isn't responsible for either. Quit cherry-picking.

It's easy to pad out a resume when you're Spielberg's secretary.
I enjoyed Indiana Jones, frick the haters. PWB was like Lara Croft meets Princess Leia.
>(pretty badass)
obvious bait is obvious
>bait that openly criticizes the movie
please get your radar checked
>criticizing
>I'm not complaining
>probably have to see it again
>it's a top 3 movie of all time
Try harder. You're getting NO more (you)s so spend this one wisely.
clearly that anon meant top 3 Indiana Jones movie of all time, it's disingenuous for you to suggest anything else
Huh. It's weird seeing all this hate for Indy. Saw it at the local theater on Sunday. Loved it, family loved it, dad even tolerated it. Everything Spielberg touches is magic. I don't know who did this movie but he did a good job too. I look forward to Blu Ray.
Because it wasn't fricking needed. How many farewell movies do we need for Indy? There has already been 3. 2 of which reverted his happy ending to some grumpy ass character at the start of the movie so they can make him happy again by the end of the movie. There was no charm to this movie. There was no spectacle (aside from shit CGI) to this movie. This is basically a soulless cashgrab and I am glad it is flopping the frick out at the box office.
Crystal Skull was not a vibe this is a 10x better ending
So what? I have to sit through another ass movie just to get a "good" ending? Nah. Indy rode off into the sunset after crusade and you can't convince me otherwise.
>was not a vibe
On god? No cap?
Definitely better than Crystal Skull
This was probably the worst movie-going experience I've ever been tortured through. People give so little of a shit about this movie our projector didnt even have video for an entire hour before they offered us the next showing at a different theater, to which it smelled even worse in there and some disgusting fat autistic frick sat behind me who smelled like ripe feet and made noise the whole 2.5 hour slog.
Oh and also the movie was a forgettable piece of soulless annoying dogshit. I would have rather seen Crystal Skull moronic shit like Mutt Tarzan swinging through the jungle and laughing than being bored to death for TWO AND A HALF FRICKING HOURS by this literal goyslop.
Frick Disney, frick movies, frick israelites and frick Black folk. I'm done.
>falling tor bait this intense
come on lads.......
Can we talk about how Helena and Teddy were DEFINITELY fricking? It’s great, we need more /ss/ representation in film
The Rotten Tomatoes looks solid I'll give it a shot
>Phoebe Waller-Bridge was pretty spot on as a Lara Croft meets Princess Leia type of heroine (pretty badass)
You have to go back
The first 20 minutes was nothing but me trying to ignore the horrible cgi on harrison fords face.
Is op a shill or is he just that dedicated to he's shitty bait? If it's (hopefully) the former, Disney better be paying well
It was unbelievably depressing to consider that Indiana Jones ended up nearly broke and alone and forgotten in some rundown apartment in NYC, and his ending is the exact same life but with some woman who he had a kid with. All of those great adventures and this is where it all led to? Old age is truly a curse. It is better to die young than to rot.
I mean that's reality. I'd rather movies be honest and real instead of escapism. There's a chance for real social commentary in media and we should take every opportunity to do so. Some things are bigger than films, so yes sometimes the plot has to be damned.
i cant tell anymore what is real and ironic shilling.
The fact that people expected anything from this stupid movie baffles me. Harrison Ford fricking sucks, Indiana Jones is a lame character (hurr I’m going to beat up Nazis and collect artifacts), and the last IJ movie was shit. This movie wasn’t going to do anything but bomb big time
I like how people keep reusing that specific picture of her because it is literally the only picture where she looks attractive
It was awesome. PWB really was like Lara Croft meets Princess Leia.
>Waller-Bridge was pretty spot on as a Lara Croft meets Princess Leia type of heroine (pretty badass)
have a nice day
What a nice organic thread, kathleen
lol@ this shill
I'm convinced you people are bots or shills from one of the other companies with movies playing in theaters right now
It's worse than that. They are literal nazis who hate that people still watch "the electric israelite box".
The shills must be desperate if they're trying to rile people up here of all places into hatewatching.
While I can understand your initial confusion, I had a more positive experience of the whole movie since I think that the short throwback section was pitch-perfectly timed. A whole movie that way would be a facsimile and not bring anything new, whereas Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny brought the somewhat dated and racist concept of an exotic adventurer, into the present with the ambiguously amoral heroine Helena. She is like a badass mix of Leia and Lara Croft, but with the criminality of her tomb-raiding forefronted this time. I was very worried that she would take the spotlight away from Indiana Jones who we love, but then I was delighted to find that she did not steal it (in this movie), which rather sets her up for her own adventures once Indiana has naturally passed. Certainly, we will not enjoy another film from him before then, so see this one, it's our last chance!
Right? PWB really was like Lara Croft meets Princess Leia.
I'm still not watching it
come on chatGPT.
you can do better.
