That counts the $7.2m from Thursday, too, since it was just a "preview", right? |

Fairly sure the only movie I'll see in the theater this year is Dune Part 2. |

I was pretty skeptical about seeing it, but I actually thought it was pretty good. But I may be easily entertained, because I liked the Flash and Quantumania and those movies didn’t get the best reviews either.

It might've been CinemaBlend, but not exactly sure where I read this... its hard to imagine looking this bad with a 300 million budget

Saw it today. It's not as bad as you guys are hearing. It's not the best Indy film, but it's better than Crystal Skull. I doubt I would watch it again, but I left the theater thinking I was glad I didn't let the bad reviews scare me away.

1. Raiders
2. Crusade 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. |
