That's the correct term for Nazi Soldiers hence the white supremacist "Stormfront" BB name

1. Raiders

3. Temple
4A. Crystal Skull
4B. Dial of Destiny

Dial of Destiny doesn't embarrass itself in key moments like Skull does, but it's not as entertaining as the best moments of Skull are. The climax for Skull is a lot more satisfying, too.

I just find DoD really...not necessary? It doesn't add anything to the character, other than a "oh, that's neat" 20-minute intro that was quite badass, if we're being frank.

The rest of the movie builds on the mcguffin in a way I liked, but none of the action is particularly interesting or unique. It's entertaining enough, just because...it's Indiana Jones.

I needed the climax of the film to be something different than it was. It was a big letdown for me. Note that the third ACT itself, the setpiece, I really liked. But the climax of the film wasn't what I wanted. The film ended in a whimper, not a crescendo.

But I can appreciate the fact it didn't embarrass itself and was a fun distraction for a couple of hours.

I left lukewarm, and preferring the way we left the character in Skull.

Also most of the jokes in the film don't land for me, and the dialogue doesn't have that Spielberg crispness or sharpness.

It's made $152 million worldwide in 5 days, which isn't bad I suppose. I do hope it fails financially, because I do NOT want to see the square peg of PWB being jammed into a round hole for future projects that have anything to do with the IP. Lucasfilm needs to ditch Kathleen or at the very least be very discouraged from giving her control over anything that smells like this.

This smelt a lot like diet The Force Awakens. I'd still give it three stars. This wasn't Mummy 3. As a character study of an aging Indiana Jones, it was well put together. But, did we really need that? Meh.

Did not like it. The movie was about Indiana Jones going after something called the Dial of Archimedes, which never existed in real life. This is unlike the Ark and Holy Grail, which did exist. The movie made very little sense to me.

I haven’t seen it yet but what I’m seeing indicates this concern to be accurate in its basis. Other than emasculating Indy and portraying a negative image of men (see Star Wars) I can’t understand the reason behind portraying him as a depressed and divorced lonely man that seems to have no respect from anyone. There are countless ways to show he needs motivation for an adventure other than something to do because he’s a worthless shell of a man.

Thank you Kathleen!

Also I like to thank Disney in general for ****ing up in Florida with their political BS that caused a backlash which damaged all of their tentpole movies to underperform outside of MCU's GoG.
