Bwestbrook36 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 41 minutes ago, UK Eagle said: A friend spoiled some parts of the film for me knowing I'll never watch it. Hide contents Did they really think flying a WW2 era plane through a wormhole and have crew fire at Romans and Greeks with pistols would look good and make sense? Indiana Jones should have nothing to do with time travel; should be a funny treasure/legend hunt thing. Why not look for Atlantis or some magical Egyptian Tomb? Time travel is a well worn trope nowadays They did say the same cinema was barely 25% full for it, which doesn't look good for Lucasfilm's bottom line. Could be another flop As an aside. Every time I see Dial of Destiny, my mind changes it to Pick of Destiny. Which in itself was a pretty bad film Spoiler The time travel was like the very end of the movie for like 10 min. The rest was looking for the device that caused the time travel. I wasn't thrilled with the time travel thing either till I realized it was just a very small part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I feel like every Indiana Jones film has something completely ridiculous happen just before the end so it stays true to form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hputenis Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 These are some great updates everyone! Nothing like black spoiler tags over and over to get me bonered up for this one! We are actually going to see it Monday afternoon at 12 and we’re bringing our 5 week old. Our goal is for her to be milk drunk the entire movie from mama’s teet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I can think of is the female character in temple of doom aka Willie was obnoxious and did nothing for the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hputenis Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 You’re all nuts. This movie was A+ all the way through. I loved every minute of it. We successfully got through it with my wife wearing our 5 week old girl on the front pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 This is streaming on Disney +, I finally watched it, and now I'm going to tell you what I thought about it. Mixed bag. Overall I think I liked it, but it had one big problem, the Helena Shaw character. She was just so unlikeable for so much of the movie, and Indy was forced to become a willing sucker because she sucked so bad. And, I'm sorry, but the actress who played her is just so unappealing no matter how many times they laughably try to tell us that she's really beautiful. She's not, and while I'll simply accept a lot of things in an effort to make a movie more entertaining, her being sold as attractive is not one of the things I'll accept. That's the bad, now the good, I found the Indy/Marion/Mutt story line to be emotionally affecting and, in that vein, I thought the ending worked. Many of the action scenes were also well done, but young CGI Indy early on was not very well done. All in all it was decent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
