Review of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) by Azzaeddy — 04 Jul 2023
What's the worst thing a film can be? Boring! And that's what this film is...
FYI there will be spoilers for this but no-one is watching this film so I'm not worried......
Good things:
The first 10 mins are really good....make it seem like this is going to be a good film.....what a tease this is!
Harrison Ford is the best thing in it. Some of his acting actually made me tear up a tiny bit!
Music is just as good as ever, but it's John Williams so hardly ever worried about that.
Bad things:
My dear sweet baby Jesus is Phoebe Waller-Bridge just infuriating. Why do Lucasfilms like to make their older male protagonists useless in comparison to their younger British female newcomers (I'm looking at you Rey!). She literally says "I'm a better archaeologist than you!" TO INDIANA JONES!!!!
Some of the dialogue is just awful.....Indy says "I don't believe in magic, but some of things I've seen....I have no explanation for".......so what about the other 3 films (I don't count Crystal Skull) with the Ark, glowing MAGIC stones and the Holy bloody Grail?!?!?!
The films waaaaaay too long.....I was bored so went out for a pee half way through, came back and nothing had happened.....I never normally go to pee during a movie.....well if its good!
The plot is dumb. The mcguffin for this film is the titular Dial Of Destiny which is a clock that can make the user travel back in time and some Nazi reminants want to travel back in time, kill Hitler, and then take over so they don't lose the war......but it can only time travel back to 212BC.....I was sat there just thinking "Is this movie over yet?"...Indy also gets framed for murder and it never gets resolved? Like they're expecting a sequel (I doubt that, this movie is flopping hard in the box office and needs to make 750mill to make a small profit).
Anyway, I could go on all day about more bad things but I don't want to waste my time and yours (pun intended).
4/10 I'd say wait till its on Disney plus but you can skip it......never thought I'd say this but, bring on the Barbie film....
