Review of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) by Busiek — 06 Jul 2023

I was tempted to watch this, my expectations was low but now I still regret it... First ~20 minutes of film was decent (guess why?) but average quality, and then... Harrison Ford in role of retired, divorced, sad looser yelling on loud youngsters.

.. Helena is unbearable, annoying and leaves Indy to die, twice... and yes, she is thief and sociopath, it's impossible to like her. Why this film was made (except money)? There is no scene or dialogue worth to remember.

Generic adventure movie - all the elements are there but no soul. Time travel did not work, as always, it's just gimmick to make plot. Lots of plot-holes and "teleportation". Even chasing sequences were boring! How it is possible?!? JOYLESS, UNNECESSARY, SOULLESS cash grab: chaotic, BOOOORING and TOO LONG.

.. 'Unnecessary' is the key word. Another IP is dead. At least Indiana Jones parts 1-3 still are good and perfectly concluded... Even "Crystal Skull" didn't bruise Indiana Jones' character like that.

.. Save your money (and time), I just lost mine. **Strangly my longer and detailed review did not make it to publication on MC.
