    16:28, I will say, at least with Crystal Skull, while Henry and Marcus passed and the Red Scare era left Indy being wrongfully suspected of treason to the point of disrupting his teaching career, in every other aspect, Indy repeatedly proves to everyone that doubts him that he isn’t some irrelevant relic nor does he view himself as one. He constantly demonstrates being competent and driven even despite his struggles, most notably in how he while he indirectly mentors Mutt on their journey together. And while he may initially come off as sad and alone, he ends the film with a new family and having come full circle from repairing his strained relationship with his father to developing a relationship with his son (which work well in fitting with Indy’s character arc from the treasure hunter obsessed with fortune and glory to someone who primarily values the people around him. Instead of missing the past, Indy instead finds a shot at a brighter future.

    I disagree. Too many reviewers expect AAA experiences. indy is and always will be B movie, fantasy, comedy, adventure romp. It is special on its own. No mention of Williams' amazing score harking back to each film. I think actually, it's an aging character recapturing his youth and showing oldies can be more than old. 9/10.

    Just left the theater. Harrison ford still has it. He is Indiana. That said, this movie was not needed. I went in with low expectations and I feel I didn’t set them low enough. Phoebes character seems not phased by anything happening. Never scared or shocked. Even in the end shots. Then to suddenly care for Jones in the end after shitting all over him. I think the way she treated Jones sums up the movie. They shit on his character but then felt
    It necessary to try to save the franchise. The similarities of how they handled Han solo are uncanny. Broken man, lost son, causes stress on relationship with wife. Goes back to old life. Comes off washed up. It all comes off as shit writing. I feel it was written by a committee. I left feeling the way I did with the force awakens. Happy to see my hero but sad to see how they handled it. 😢

    Disagree. The movie overall was great! Everything leading up to Act 3 and the reveal of where they were was super entertaining. Indy had some of his most emotional moments ever on screen - not wanting to face the future and just live in the past (which says a lot about this and many other reviews IMO). Better than Doom or Skull but not as good as Raiders or Crusade. Dial fits nicely in between and my friends and I loved it 💕

    Good review; I agree with more here than I've seen with other reviews. As a huge Indy fan, I enjoyed being back in the universe. So, while I can point out some things I might would have liked done differently...overall, I thought it was definitely worth watching and better than Crystal Skull.
    On that note, why does a film have to "justify its existence"? This phrase was mentioned more than once and, while I see that being a consideration for the financiers and the studio....as a movie-goer, I don't understand the question. The justification for any film (from the consumer standpoint) is to be entertaining and/or thought-provoking. That's why we go to the theater. This film was definitely entertaining; I don't think anyone could objectively say otherwise. That's all the justification required, I think.

    I didn't want to go see it myself after watching all the bad reviews and how all the theatres were empty etc. But my wife dragged me there tonight. I was blown away at how good this movie was. Absolutely none of the negative reviews were accurate. The CGI was good, the characters were well developed, Ford's performance was just as exciting as all the other movies and he's fkn 80! Dude's body is solid muscle omfg. These influencer first reviews are not from qualified film critics, they don't know the first thing about film history or what solid writing/directing is about.
    This movie completely delivered on all fronts. Definitely one of the last great adventure movies we'll get. I'm no fan of Disney trust me, but this movie is not bad it's even very very good. The effect these trigger happy negative reviews have had on the movie is tragic. Just go see it yourself, trust me you'll be happy you did.

    And this one was just that. It was FUN. Tons of references and call backs to the original movies, lots of fun action, comparatively good story, just a good Indiana Jones.

    I also had low expectations going into seeing it. While I knew that it would be better than Crystal Skull or even Temple of Doom, I knew that it could not capture the shear brilliance of Raiders and Last Crusade, which are masterpieces. The opening sequence is definitely the best part of the film, as we see Indy killing and beating up nazis, unlike in Crystal Skull where Indy doesn’t even fire a gun once. The best part about the movie, just like it’s predecessors is, of course Indiana Jones himself: Harrison Ford. Despite his age, really gives it his all in this and still brings a lot of charm and charisma to the role he was born to play. The film itself is a bit long, and I found myself almost nodding off when it got slow, but overall it is entertaining even if the adventure is not on par with raiders or last crusade. However, it’s not nearly as bad as a lot of the people on UA-cam made it out to be. And if this is in fact Indy’s final adventure, at least he left off on a good note.

    I saw it yesterday and it was fun. Sure, no as good as Raiders and Crusade, but just as fun as Doom, at least for me and the people I saw it with. This another instance of a movie that’s better than what critics or UA-camrs say. The Last Crusade was the perfect ending for the franchise. But we all know that in a capitalist economy dependent on consumerism nothing never really ends. These type of movies are cash grabs for the studios, but that’s not always the case for the artists (directors, actors, writers, etc). When I watch these movies I
    tune down my cynicism and tune up my suspension of disbelief. At the end of the day, anyone that dislike this film can ignore it in the future and just watch the original trilogy. It is not that complicated.

So no they couldn't use it even if they wanted to.

    We saw the movie this weekend and enjoyed it. It was good entertainment, and I’m glad we saw it it in the theater. Harrison Ford is always great, and I’m amazed he can do the amount of physical action at his age, hell, at any age. All the actors did a great job. My only real critique would be the chase scene in the cabs/cars went on way too long. There were so many chase scenes that it got exhausting. And the time travel bit was a little hokey. Not as bad as the aliens in the Crystal Skull, but stretching it a bit towards the unbelievable. I’m with you on Hollywood needing to come up with new characters and ideas. And I don’t mean comic book characters!!! I’m sick of superhero crap. I love the historical archaeology stories. Do that. Too bad they used Shia LaBeauf as his son and then killed him in Vietnam. A “Son of Indy” spin-off would’ve been good.

  • @CaminoAir
    @CaminoAir Рік тому +3

    I assume that Labeouf's absence is more due to his public persona than any actual intent to just write him out of the franchise. I didn't have any issues with him in 'Crystal Skull'.

    1) the comment about Kennedy making multiple self inserts is pretty spot on lol

I also feel that we have another Rey situation were they are trying to replace the original with a modern one by shitting on the original which is really stupid

    I watched it today, got totally confused about Indy having children. I'd totally erased Indy 4 from my mind. Lifelong Indy fan: I loved this one. Yes, its flawed but flawed like all the others. It didn't have the very dated white saviour tropes of Temple of Doom and didn't treat Nazis as comedic cartoon villains like Raiders. Possibly the first time we've properly seen Indy's love of history, beyond "Blow it up!" taunts from Belloq where he can't bring himself to blow up the ark. I specially enjoyed how much Helena embodied Indy's attitude from his youth (Temple of Doom) of looking for "Fortune and Glory". I'd give it an 8, better for me than Last Crusade, equal to Temple and of course Raiders remains the best.

    PWB's character knew the villains were killing ppl, and still locked the door on Indy so he's stuck in the room with them. So basically she left him (her godfather) to his death. She feels no remorse or guilt whatsoever, doesnt even apologise. From that moment forward I hated her character and absolutely despised every scene she was in. Also in the ending she punches Indy, at his old age it could've killed him. He was also shot and bleeding so don't know how he survived that. They literally didn't show all the important bits with regard to how Indy survived and how they got back to their present, they flash forward and he just wakes up in his bed and that's it..
    Also in the 3rd act the little kid was able to fly a plane, so fkn stupid. This movie shouldve been called Indiana Jones and the Dump of Destiny.

    I didn't find it as bad as a lot of people say it is.
    But it's definitely sad and bleak. Indiana Jones at its best was always mostly funny and scary at the same time. And this film is neither.
    Phoebe Waller Bridge is annoying as hell in this. I kept wishing the Nazis killed her halfway through the movie. She feels totally shoehorned in.
    I don't even think she belongs in Indy's team. It would have been much better to have Sallah pair up with Indy and have them both chase both Helena and the Nazis.
    And I would have liked to see Indy have some grandkids of his own. Have them and Marion join the quest too.
    Apart from that, I liked everything else. The dial of destiny was an excellent plot device.

Poor Nazis, they thought they're very close, but they're actually very, very, very far.

    I agree with your first thoughts. I was a bit distracted with the de-aging CGI at times but NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has tried so much action with a de-aged character. Almost there!!
    I think the movie was solid, had issues with the female leads MUDDY back story as presented, scratching my head at times, and wondered if they modified the ending in post shoot to leave a chance for a 90 year old Indiana Jones adventure as he escapes from the nursing home.
    I think this one will get better with time and re-watches and I think it will do better in the summer weeks to come. It is nostalgia done right and that's what all these remakes are. Baby boomers and beyond wanting to recapture those feelings.

    Well, the scene with him grabbing his hat at the end just goes to show that there will be a continuation of the Indiana Jones universe just with Harrison Ford's character possibly as a cameo. I don't particularly like the girl taking over the job. His son would've been a good one to pass the torch to just as his father passed his life's work on to Indy. I know Shia has been in trouble over the years, but don't write the guy out entirely. Just say that he went off to war in Vietnam and leave it at that. Leaves the door open for the character (maybe not the same actor) to return to the role and take over the Indiana Jones adventures. Indiana Jones has explored different western cultures, but they've yet to do anything for the Asian history and culture. I always thought doing an adventure in Southeast Asia would've been a perfect Indiana Jones location because one of the running gags is he's afraid of snakes. Southeast Asia they're practically everywhere. Also, Asia has a lot of mysterious ancient history along with lost artifacts.
