So having "original" ideas that perpetually bleed company coffers while irreversibly destroying your brand's legendary good will is actually a good thing? Frick me, learn something new every day.
Why was it so bad? There were a lot of things I didn't love about it, but overall it was still a huge adventure movie with a pretty crazy final act.
I remember realising in the cinema that I was bored, it just never came to life at all but I don't quite understand what was missing
It was sort of alright, one issue is the ridiculous runtime that was not in the least justified.
Also the woman and her Hispanic sidekick were just annoying.
Overall it felt like a movie that checked a number of boxes for some producers and was mainly about mass appeal rather than going for something interesting at the risk of excluding woke twitterhomosexuals.
Because it doesnt feel like Indiana Jones. I will list the issues with the movie >Overly high amount of gruesome realistic violence, especially towards innocents
Indiana Jones always had violence in it. Quite a lot actually. But it had usually been more fantastical in nature. In this movie, there's a gigantic body count. The US govt kills a bunch of teachers in the movie, the germans kill all of Indys friends on the boat, and there's a scene where dozens of Germans get shot by an anti aircraft gun. Its just over done, the violence in the previous movies treads a certain fine line, and this movie goes in directions that dont fit >Not enough adventure
This is Indiana Jones, and he's an adventurer, not a soldier. This movie has way too many action scenes and almost no adventure scenes. Every other scene is a chase or battle. Where are the traps? Where is the puzzle solving? There's one short scene where they go into an adventurous location but its cramped and is super short. Every other Indy movie has lots of cool ancient locations and traps to overcome. >Old Indy doesn't work with the girl
They have such a soulless dynamic. She's incredibly unlikeable, something thatvnever changes throughout the movie. Indy doesnt really act like Indiana Jones at all, probably because of this next point >George Lucas and Spielberg were not really involved at all
These two guys are the soul of Indiana Jones. Both of them are needed. And their absence here is very obvious. The previous movies come from their life experiences, and this one doesn't, and even if the audience can't define what is wrong, they can still feel it. It was a colossal mistake to do this movie without them, and every problem above stems from this one
Sad how fast this was forgotten. Indiana Jones used to be a real name, a heavy hitter. Cant believe how bad they screwed this up. Its so bad it makes me appreciate Crystal Skull
It was nowhere near as bad as I expected.
Not good. But hardly the character-destroying trainwreck I expected. I enjoyed the opening sequence with the questionable cgi deaging.
If Waller-Bridge had been replaced with an actress who wasn't an insufferable c**t, it might have even been good.
>he gets a fine ending/sendoff.
Yeah, sure. He gets to live in depression over his dead son with his ex-wife Marion while McUglyBitchFace goes off and has adventures. That ending felt so Goddamn bleak.
Does the latest entry render this kino by comparison? I haven't seen it in a decade but I remember thinking this was absolute schlock, even by Lucas's standards. Still, there were parts like the motorcycle chase that I remember having some actual effort put into it. I also didn't mind Shia LaBaoeuf.
Every still I see from the Dial of Destiny film looks flat and shot on green screen, and the biggest gimmick was that they de-aged Harrison Ford.
They're basically on par with each other.
Kingdom has more SOVL. Dial8 is more inoffensive.
The worst moments of Kingdom are worse than the worst moments of Dial8, but the best moments are also better in Kingdom.
Let's not lose focus here: whose idea was this? and how was this not obviously going to be a massive flop? KK? fine, let's assume it was her baby. Still, why green light it? Aren't studios out to make revenue instead of lose it?
jews
Those Hollywood writers that you can't live without.
Money
It was kind of a good idea, to destroy completely the character. To kill him while he is still alive.
The destruction of the ego.
In what way was the character humilated? By having a sidekick? Was this your first action movie?
Your wife's sex tape
I'm sure Harrisson "nose" ;^)
Lucasfilm obviously.
They wanted to reboot Indy with that new female lead and this was the introduction to it. Just didn't plan out.
Yeah about half a billion worth of bad planning. I thought ~~*Hollywood*~~ liked MAKING money, not throwing it out the window. What gives?
Kathleen Kennedy is a moron. She's the perfect storm of incompetence and having an ideological vendetta. That's what it always comes down to.
You and every two-bit incel says this online, you are way less original than Kathleen.
I've made Lucasfilm way more money than Kathleen Kennedy in my lifetime.
Damn, and I thought you couldn't get more cringe.
You're on Cinemaphile and you think you can shame anyone here into accepting KK?
By what collecting overpriced plastic? Fricking disgusting consooomer virgin.

>80+ year old man still goes on adventures and is unfazed
Well played Dr. Jones
harrison ford pretended to be crazy to get out of going to vietnam
smart. I don't want to die in a spike pit trap in the fricking jungle either.

crystal skull is still worse than this and you're genuinely delusional or baiting if you think otherwise.
>think that's bad?
>the other one was worse!
>hah bet you feel real dumb now
the point is lucas and spielberg were apart of 4 and it was fricking dogshit all around.
The whole series is about him killing nazis and they still humiliate him like that lmao, yids are something else
Sad how fast this was forgotten. Indiana Jones used to be a real name, a heavy hitter. Cant believe how bad they screwed this up. Its so bad it makes me appreciate Crystal Skull
>not muh indy!!!
dumb literal boomer.
still not as bad as crystal skull but pretty bad regardless.
There sure are a lot of Disney shills on this shithole of a board.

It was unironically better than last crusade
frick off redditor plebs

>So, what's another character loved by white men? It's denigration time!
The process is always the same.
i swear to god these are bot posts. the movie's worse sin is it's fricking boring. he gets a fine ending/sendoff.
>he gets a fine ending/sendoff.
Yeah, sure. He gets to live in depression over his dead son with his ex-wife Marion while McUglyBitchFace goes off and has adventures. That ending felt so Goddamn bleak.
he's an old ass man i don't know what you expected. for them to permanently de age him and for cgi ford to do another movie?
Wouldn't it be great if the series ended with Indy riding off in to the sunset, still vigorous and relatively young? If only
it would be great if the last two movies didn't exist in the first place.
Adding divorce into the shitty film pissed me off so much. Frick anti marriage homosexuals.
He has a fine ending last time. This whole movie shits on a perfect happy ending
The only people who think this piece of shit is better than Crystal Skull are moronic leftoids that are mad that the movie shits on commies.

gays who are protesting for more money plus their israelite bosses. Just outsource movie making to Korea or something.
