Eventually there's going to have to be a serious course correction on how much these movies cost to make and promote. This isn't even a shot at 'wokeness' or whatever, constantly having to hit near a billion to break even, much less make significant profit just isn't sustainable long term.

This isn't one I'll see in a theater regardless. Has nothing to do with the movie itself, I honestly don't think I've been to a theater to see a movie since End Game and just no desire to go. Costs me & the family $100 minimum to go to a movie and I don't want to waste the money on a bad movie so I just wait for them to come out for streaming.
For me, if I'm iffy on a movie I look to the audience score verse the critics score. |

It's super easy to sit still and truly appreciate a movie without constantly shoveling shit in your face. Try it! |

That's pretty seriously bad. Does George still own Lucasfilm because I don't think he ever had much dignity. |

For reference, Raiders cost about $60 million when era adjusted. Is there any chance at all that this movie is better than Raiders? If not, why the hell should it cost 5 TIMES as much to make? I mean you have live action Disney remakes costing $250 million+ This is completely untenable. |

It's Disney owns it, and that's another reason this will underperform

I don't need some snot-nosed brat that's 40 years Indy's junior stealing his thunder. Karen Allen had about 40 minutes of screen time in a roughly 2 hour movie. If early reviews are to be believed, THIS movie is essentially a Phoebe Waller Bridge vehicle that's used to tie up an Indiana Jones loose end. And by most accounts, the most enjoyable part of the movie is the first 20 minutes that don't have her in it. Marion is such a badass character. And yes, a 'strong, independent woman' - but she's a worthy foil/ally of Indy's; a legitimate peer. She's not his ****ing wetnurse and the smartest character in the room every time she's on screen. |

you haven't even seen the movie
all of the reviews say how great harrison ford is in this, with PWB serving as second fiddle, NOT the other way around you guys are actively TRYING to hate this movie instead of just letting it be hell, one of the reviews said OLD PEOPLE will enjoy it more |
