Who’d have thought Indiana Jones fans didn’t wanna see a movie where he was emasculated and upstaged by a girlboss character?
I can't bear it.
Over 50% of people
I watched it, and he wasn't upstaged.
It's funny because I only watched it a few weeks ago, and it was definitely not super woke. The female character was flawed. The movie was quite enjoyable.
@@bobboonah I always question people such as yourself that say a character is flawed. Did the film INTEND for her to be flawed? It doesn’t really come across that way to me, though I mostly just found her annoying. The question is never if the character is flawed; the biggest Mary Sues are often deeply flawed. The question is if the film treats the character as being flawed or wrong. Often, they don’t, so the observed flaws of the character are meaningless since the film ignores them.
Indiana Jones series is another example of a legacy that men built with their hardwork and then women ruined it just to satisfy their ego.
Exactly
I wasn't aware Bob Iger is a woman. When did this happen?
Spot-On Post.
@@mnirwin5112when he let Kathleen Kennedy remain head of Lucasfilm. So many flops by her by now and he still doesn't do anything about it!
@@mnirwin5112 it's pretty obvious Bob is a woman since Kathy owns his balls.
And yet Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger still have jobs! What a joke!
Not for long after Wednesday.
because their jobs are literally doing this whole culture war shit. Don't think their primary obligation is still making good movies instead of propaganda pieces.
@@jmferr2011 I pray that is so.
@@jmferr2011 I wish. Darthleen Kennedy will have her job until she's good and ready to step down of her own volition. Why? She used to know where half the bodies were buried. So she hired Lesleye Ferret Face , Harvey Weinstein's former personal assistant, and now she knows where the remaining 50% of the bodies are buried. Nobody will fire her. She's the one Sun Tzu told us would be willing to burn an entire kingdom down just to rule over the ashes.
@@jmferr2011 Sadly a seat or two on the board won't change anything anytime soon, but it's a start at least.
Dial of Diversity.
Dial of Dysentery.
And skull wasn't trying to appeal to a groupr audience?
We're only deluding ourselves to think this has only been happening now.
That being said: the original was made because studios saw that Action films were on the rise
Was it innovated? Hell yeah! But studios never green light Anything unless they 'think' it'll make them money
This has been happening since Hollywood was invented.
Dial of Dogsh*t...
Put a chick in it, make her gay.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Indian name is “Box office poison”. She turned James Bond into a dottering housewife then killed him. She emasculated Indiana Jones and she was by far the worst part of the Solo film.
I never thought Indiana Jones could have a worse traveling companion than Willie till she came along.
Amazing. Everything you just said... was wrong.
Guess she won’t be getting her spin off movie then.
@@thekitowl Who said anything about her getting her own movie? We need a Short Round and Willie Scott series
At least Willie was hot. 🔥😘
I'm 55, I've seen every male hero I loved in the 80s and 90s made into a pathetic, snivelling insecure, insignificant wreck of a man. I wonder why I don't go to the cinema (except for Dune) anymore.
Same age group and exactly how I feel.
Indeed. I’m 56 and despite lots of disposable income at this time in my life haven’t been to the movies for years. Wonder why?🤔
WHAAAAT? Humiliating one of the most beloved and iconic characters in over 100 years of cinematic history wasn't popular with anyone other than deranged SJWs? Who'd have thunk it.....
What the studios fail to realize is that said 'deranged SJWs' don't even go to movies or buy tickets. Pandering to them in movies is just shouting at clouds not understanding that no one is listening.
I know, right?!?
Laughing at an old man, because he's old and white, that should be a guaranteed hit!
...
... I will never forgive them for humiliating Indiana Jones --- and Harrison Ford lost my respect for having agreed to play in this.
It's because the producers, scriptwriters, and even the idea of making this film was thick! Is why I call it 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Duncity'... 😏
😎🇬🇧
@@kinorai how exactly was he humiliated?
Last Crusade he LITERALLY rode off into the sunset. Period, They all lived happily ever after THE END. that was the perfect ending, all others need not apply
I couldn't be bothered watching this film for free on a 22 hr flight. Staring blankly at the back of the seat in front of me would have been a better use of my time.
I watched it in flight and still walked out! Ayooo! 🥁
I am surprised you were not tempted to throw yourself out of the plane. @@mroctober3657
Me too. I've never had any desire to watch it.
@@mroctober3657 That's a good one, gonna have to remember it😆
I watched it twice in theaters and I really enjoyed it both times.
And Disney will learn zero lessons from this.
Because they are bankrolled by the people with the money printer.
The producers, directors, and writers still make a ton of money. It's only Disney that suffers and they can afford to suffer for a very long time, they probably do a lot of Hollywood accounting too.
That's why they don't learn, they don't have to. No consequences.
Indeed. Where do you think that $300 million production budget goes, into the pockets of the likes of Kathleen Kennedy and clowns who wrote and produced this turd. I’m sure Harrison Fire pocketed a few million as well. Lots of winners here, just not the audience.
At what point do they LEGALLY face repercussions for willingly lose their shareholders money? seriously, they're losing money on purpose
Disney are actually being sued for "misleading investors" by publishing false profits. They'll lose in court too 😁
that's the billion dollar question
Last Crusade was a perfect ending for the Indiana Jones trilogy, the hero rode off into the sunset.
Crystal Skull was a "Why?", Dial of Dysentery was a "WTF!?"
It's lucky Indy 4 and 5 are so forgettable.
Excellent summary of the franchise.
Many......many fans like myself agree Last Crusade was a great ending. Did I get excited when Crystal Skull was in production? Yes. Did we get a good movie? Nah.
As a person who saw SW and Indy movies in the cinema, I would like to point out that in 40+ years, two things have happened for me. I didn't see a SW movie (Solo), and I didn't see an Indy movie (Dial). That's how bad it's gotten for two storied and long-lasting franchises with Kathleen Kennedy in charge of Lucasfilm.
Also, I will not be seeing The Acolyte. I got burned by Boba Fett, Mando season 3, Obi Wan, and Ahsoka.
I will watch Andor season 2 because that show was written and produced by grown-ups who actually have talent.
How much money did the theatres lose showing movies to near empty rooms? -- projectionists, A/C, ushers, lights, etc? These bombs are losing more than advertised.
They don't CARE. It's not about money! Destruction and demoralization are the point!
That's because the losses were on the theater side of things so of course we are not going to hear anything about real cost $$$

@Benzley722 If you don't see we are in a cultural revolution where "woke" neo-commies are destroying everything, then YOU really need to get a life.
Sabotaging an iconic male character like Indiana Jones in favor for a self insert girl boss type character was never going to work.
apparently the self-insert is sum type of propagandist, using a made up term like native american in the 1950s....clearly is not from the 1950s. Wat the hell is that? Must be sum commie spy, this promiscuous english woman.
They did it with star wars
Eh, I just didn’t care for another Indiana Jones. I did bother with Sonic , and other movies instead
@@clintoruss153 yeah, and that's how we knew it didn't work! TLJ and RoS underperformed.
Amazing. Everything you said was wrong.
To me, the most plausible explanation for these overblown movie budgets is money laundering.
@Pwade21 you got it.
That’s what Hollywood is now.
And with how much money they lost for this movie, Disney will still push forward and continue to lose more money with, "THE MESSAGE".
I opted not to see this Dumpster Fire to not ruin my memory of the classic character. How can Disney Shareholders keep putting up with all these massive losses?
Why the fuck is my Government giving money back to Disney? a company which should be able to make more many than many small countries on its own.
One of your national heroes is Robin Hood, who stole back when the people were being taxed. I’m not saying anything specific needs to be done…
The tax break is to encourage studios to work in the UK . I’ve read Australia has something similar.
Many countries do it, plus it keeps the TV and film industry in the UK and people who work in it gainfully employed.
@@thekitowl They do, and I believe Canada and the US state of Georgia have tax concessions for filming as well.
oh boy. Crystal Skull is finally getting the ghostbusters 2 treatment. "its not as a horrible as the sequel"
George Lucas: "I endorse Disney and Bob Iger in making my shows."
Audience: "You do know that the Willow series was canceled and removed after 1 season and that Indy 5 bombed in the theaters, right?"
George Lucas: "Hmph.....well, at least Star Wars Episode 10 is being made....."
You just don't mess with a perfect Trilogy. Ended with Last Crusade. Perfect name, perfect ending.
I agree, there are only 3 films!
Just as Star Wars is only six films.
I count 5 star wars films: the OT, Rogue One and Solo. Everything else is drivel.
@@ravensthorne4631 Rogue One was unnecessary but OK I suppose. I hated Solo though.
get over it.
Why TF was Disney paid money by the British people!?!?! This is insane.
It's because they filmed the movie on British movie sets so they get a kick back for doing so, don't ask me exactly how it works because I don't know and frankly I think it's a waste of taxpayers money for these big studios to get given money that could be better spent on things like the NHS or fixing the roads!!
the Brits, their gov, also pays some UA-camrs to put out political content. specifically the 'Breadtubers' the ones who are very far left and push communism and all sorts of messed up things like bestiality in Vaush's case.
The same reason the people of commiefornia pay the studios bribes to film there. Ditto Canada. It's such a shame.
They do similar tax rebates in certain US states. The idea is to encourage film production to move there - Atlanta is now a big film production hub for exactly this reason. *In theory* the benefits to the local economy exceed the money given back to the production companies, but that's a dubious claim that I doubt gets scrutinized enough.
The theory is the government who gives these kickbacks to films produced within their boarders will make the money back and extra via various forms of taxes. Taxes on hotels, eating out, other goods and services the individual cast and crew of a film will have to spend while shooting the movie.
It doesn’t always work out that way.
After watching Indy 5: Diarrhea of Dysentery last year I'll take Kingdom of the Crystal over that abomination any day
Crystal Skull had the perfect ending 😅
Agreed, but I'd forgive any fan whose head canon ends with the ride into the sunset of Last Crusade.
crystal skull to this bs was a masterpiece
Next year we'll get Indiana Joanne and the Mayan Menstrual Calendar and we'll all think fondly of Diarrhea of Dysentery.
I haven't seen Dysentery, I'm thinking about letting the Crystal Skull be the last one for me.
Sorry, nothing will ever, ever convince me that any Indiana Jones movie or video game (released up till now) is worse than Crystal Skull. Though I liked Crystal Skull more than I thought it's not a movie I'd watch from start to finish again. In short, I'd take Dial of Destiny and Temple of Doom over Crystal Skull any day.
Phoebe Waller Bridge's character was so annoying. All she did was trash talk Jones and treat him like a fool.
The irony is that she was much, much more abusive originally, which is why the movie had to go back into editing so many times to tone it down over and over.
But for every snarky line she had, Indy had one just as snarky rolled up his sleeve. Also, Indy has been mocked and belittled throughout the entire franchise so someone trash talking him and treating him like a fool isn’t new.
Looking back crystal skull is a masterpiece compared to dial of destiny
Just ignore the movie. It doesn’t exist.
That's what I've been doing with Crystal Skull, the Star Wars prequels, and all Terminator sequels after 2 for years and years.
What movie?
@@Mereologist So you arent fans? Got it....keep walking. No one cares.
Meh. I watched Crystal Skull exactly once. I've watched the original trilogy more times than I can count. Haven't bothered with DoD.
I watched it, split over a couple of sittings.
The thing had so many cringe sections, I had to take a break
DoD is good, much better than Crystal Skull.
@@EpicJoshua314 No offense but I'll never know. I wouldn't even pirate it.
I didn’t mind The Chrystal Skull. There were some silly parts but it was as good as Temple of Doom.
@@EpicJoshua314hows the box office?
You know, if I did something that cost a company even 10% of that level of money loss, I'd be in jail. This is borderline criminal.
I mean - I get what you are saying, but it is not unprecedented in the film business. John Carter lost Disney almost as much but not because of crapping all over a beloved character, they just made mistakes in the development and marketing process (You could argue the biggest mistake was greenlighting the whole thing but they made plenty from there as well)
Says the guy who needs to see a therapist
People prefer entertainment to struggle sessions. Fancy that.
Crazy, isn't it?
I'm not surprised anymore with such fact. The fact that there will be no course corrections they totally deserve it
Pretty crazy how the movie of Indiana Jones surviving a nuke in a fridge is looked as a more respectable movie to the franchise than this
Pretty crazy how you cannot get a life.
pretty crazy you didn't bitch about a rubber raft sliding down a mountain and landing in raging river was cool in school....
as soon as word got out that Mutt/Henry Jr had been killed in Vietnam and Indy and Marion were divorcing, overriding the happy ending, from the previous film. many fans boycotted it for that. they could have just written Mutt out by him studying overseas, or off on his own adventure.
also they missed out on the biggest trick in Hollywood, by missing out on bringing Ke Huy Quan, back which fans wanted for years, who then won an Oscar in the same year.
Shia LaBoeuf didn't even want to be in another Indiana Jones movie and even if he did he's faced many legal issues that would have prevented him from being recasted.
@@EpicJoshua314 very true, but killing off the character was just a dick move to the audience. just a simple line "my son, is off in the Amazon Rainforest, looking for a lost artefact" would have sufficed. not "Oh he's dead, because Indy really has to suffer" the writers thought the audience would be fine with that dick move
Oh I think they knew. They just don't give a dam about what fans want. Hence why they did everything possible to undo/subvert the nice ending of Crystal Skull. Disney is run by arseholes
@@EpicJoshua314 You are lying again. He starred in movies every year for decades. The only 'legal issues' are in your head.
@@CrypticCharm Did you have strong feelings for Mutt in Crystal Skull? He was an okay character but he was no Short Round. You speak as if Mutt was beloved as Short Round, Sallah, Brody or Marion. Also, he could have just been captured by the North Vietnamese and mistakenly reported Killed in Action but returns home in 1975 and spends at least 17 more years with Indy and Marion. Overall, Mutt wasn’t that great of a character for me to have strong feelings for him and for his sudden off screen death annoy me as opposed to Short Round. Speaking of Short Round, there can still be a spin off movie or TV series where he and Willie Scott meet up after 40 years and go on an adventure. Lastly, Mutt still could appear in comics or video games set in the late 50s.
Crystal Skull was a bit cringe.
BUT IT WASN'T ACTIVELY NIHILIST. Which is much worse.
I too didn't hate 'Crystal Skull' as much as so many others say they did. I definitely think 'Last Crusade' should have remained the last movie, but 'Crystal Skull' amused me and it felt like Indiana Jones. I actually got a kick out of the A-bomb scene, and I didn't mind it involved aliens. The worst part truly was that CG monkey scene.
Yeah, like Crystal Skull, the audience was trying to attack the A-Bomb scene as too ridiculous when the prior Indy movies had magic and crazy stunts all over the place. At least with Crystal Skull, they tried to end it on a good note and bring prior actors back. DoD, wasn't needed to sour that and it sounded like Disney had no prior direction to take it.
This!
Crystal skull wasn't a bad film, it just wasn't a good film. If that makes sense.
It was at least made by people who knew Indy and created him in the first place. It had a lot of good ideas and themes in it.They just weren't well executed. (And I can't stand Shia LeBeouf. Though he could have been worse in this honestly.) Like Dave said, it was a decent coda. DoD was a hit-piece. Pure and simple.
I believe Disney's constant message-peddling would be slightly less sour if they could actually write a script.
One is an artifact of the other. If you believe in 'social justice' you can't believe in individual characters, growth, or character arcs.
@@Mereologist That's a good point. Anyway, when you're woke, you're correct, which also makes your scripts correct and correct is better than entertaining.
There was no sense to the last Indy film. Who was it aimed at? Almost 50 year-olds like me who watched The Temple of Doom when it was released in the cinema? Present-day kids who probably don't care about it? Put it this way: if you told kids in 1984 that a new Tarzan sequel was being released starring almost-octogenarian Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, how much could you expect them to care? (I admit I would likely have watched it, but I always loved old films!!) There was no groundwork laid to excite a younger generation about Indy: where was the HD restoration of the Young Indiana Jones TV series with Harrison Ford replacing George Hall for the bookend scenes? Where was an Indiana Jones cartoon series? Why would Disney make their first new Indiana Jones film a 'funeral' with a decrepit Harrison Ford being mocked by a girl boss? What a depressing end to a great character: almost as bad an end as that of Han Solo. It was a film made for an audience that didn't want it.
There are worse movies in 2023 than Dial of Destiny.
@@EpicJoshua314 Which is about as big a condemnation of contemporary Hollywood as you can get!! 😀
@@EpicJoshua314 Barbie being one.
For me, the true "4th" Indiana Jones adventure is 'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis', the Lucasarts video game released in 1992.
The reason Hollywood is imploding right now is the same reason the AAA gaming industry is imploding. There’s too much money moving around and consumers aren’t willing to spend their entire paycheck supporting it all. When seeing a movie in theaters costs $30 per person, not including food/drinks, it can get pricy. And when every month seems to have a new Budgetbuster in theaters, less and less people are willing to see every new film every month. And since we all know these movies are gonna end up on Streaming Services anyway, why spend a weekend in the theater when you can wait a few weeks and watch it at home?
Remember, Steven Spielberg left the production at the begining.
Wrong, Spielberg left in 2020,
@@EpicJoshua314i wonder why?
The funny thing about this movie is that I keep completely forgetting that I even saw it.
I forget it was even made
At what point do movie reviewers start to realize that they are making movies bad on purpose.
THANK YOU! I keep saying it over and over and no one listens!
They want to close the cinemas. They want people on streaming platforms.
@@dsmyify More control, more ways to extort.
They must have really wanted to use that refrigerator gag badly to attempt it in two movies. In the span of time between the two movies no one stopped to think how stupid and ruinous that was to suspension of disbelieve.
it's no more of a wild swing than ghouls flying out of a box and melting people's heads through the sheer power of dark angels, or a 700-year-old knight existing in a cave for perpetuity or Mola Ram removing the heart from a guy while he's still alive or a guy surviving a Nuclear blast while inside a lead-lined refrigerator...this is a rabbit hole that has no nerd rage.
These are all beyond the scope of all physical belief, yet we bought it. We can buy this.
Dial of Destiny was a mistake in another way: an Indiana Jones style adventure can only take place in a very specific time frame (roughly 1900-1960) because of the technology level. In short, the previous 4 films already maxed out the time frame.
I literally fell asleep midway into the film. I apparently pissed off a few people next to me because I started to snore. I can't say it was forgettable, because it couldn't keep me awake long enough to even see it all.
They don't care about money. It's about programming you and always was.
@Benzley722 No it isn't. Not at all.
Here's a crazy idea everyone would have accepted, Mutt (Recast) is going to college at Indy's University. He's studying hard but has trouble because of his dyslexia. Marcus Brody's similarly aged very attractive daughter (Sidney Sweeney?) is helping him. Mutt also has his bike shop he lives above which gives us an excuse to parade insanely cool classic bikes through regularly. People keep coming to Indy for help but he's getting older. It's thanksgiving dinner, someone needs help but Indy has a thing, needs to go to the hospital, so Mutt has to go for him. There's a sociopathic Russian agent, maybe some romantic rivals for Mutt and Ms Brody, lots of great 50s era action sequences and the franchise hands off gracefully to Mutt.
That would have been fun!
But apparently the whole point was to girl-boss the franchise... 😕
@@shirw You're right. That was why they screwed up the easy layup. I'm showing how easy the layup would have been if even someone like me can write this premise quickly and easily.
I would argue that a good part of the reason that Dial of Destiny tanked so hard was BECAUSE of how much Geriatric Jones and the Kingdom of the blah blah blah… sucked. I went to see 4 because I really hoped it would be good. It wasn’t. Seeing a 70+ year old man still trying to be an action hero was just sad and pathetic. So after that train wreck, there was no way I was going to see 5. The Last Crusade was the PERFECT way to end the saga. He literally rode off into the sunset.
It’s not Indy! He’s just playing a grumpy Harrison ford
Isn't Harrison Ford always grumpy? Like seriously, it's his one and only emotional state.
There is no 5th Indiana Jones movie. Indy got married to Marian and had a short but happy retirement raising his son. He died peacefully in his sleep having a bad dream about being divorced and lonely while being upstaged by a lady who was way out of her league.
I liked Crystal Skull just because it stayed with Lucas' original idea of the series homaging a different film genre each time out. From that lens, it did a pretty decent job.
2008!?? Holy Moly!! I remember watching that on DVD and all the special feature on Christmas Day though to Boxing Day and didn't sleep. Drinking too much wine and eating copious amounts of ham with snow outside. Strange that this is such a potent memory for me because the movie was a real let down. Anyway, I'm shocked it was that long ago.
To be fair, is the fridge any more silly than surviving a fall in a rubber-boat, mind control potions and other fantasy and unrealistic moments in the series?
We'll see what kind of spin they put on it. Nice to know the public is catching on.
Neither my wife nor I laughed or even smiled once during the Dial of Destiny .
What blows my mind the most about this movie is this: After all the backlash they (before Disney bought Lucasfilm) got for the previous movie having aliens and being quasi-science fiction (not something that fans attributed to Indiana Jones), they decided to base the new movie on TIME TRAVEL? Really? It boggles the mind.
Time travel makes 1,000 times more sense than Indy surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge and falling down 3 waterfalls all unscathed. And to be fair, the aliens weren’t what made Crystal Skull bad, it was what I mentioned above, over reliance on CGI (the inter-dimensional beings as what they actually were are animated poorly), Mutt swinging like Tarzan and a few other things.
@@EpicJoshua314For sure removing the aliens from "Crystal Skull" would not have fixed it. And yeah, don't get me started on all of the stupid WTF moments in it. Mutt swinging through the trees keeping up with the monkeys is just one example. But still, you'd think Lucasfilm would have realized that they need to pull back on the throttle a bit after "Crystal Skulls" went a little _too_ far in the believability range. I don't know, but I think if I were in charge I would have looked at the Indy films that had the most success and try to reproduce what made them great, without being a carbon copy.
My wife and I love *Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,* and people who read books know that the swinging on the vines did not come from Tarzan. It was done first, complete with the pursuing monkeys, by Mowgli in *The Jungle Book.*
I was talking with my dad about this movie. One of our “things” has been seeing movies together for 40+ years now, rentals, theater, on demand, etc… I asked him if he had ever imagined a time that we would not be excited to see a freaking Indiana Jones movie on the big screen. His silence was the only answer I needed. He had not thought of it that way up until then. Modern Hollywood is failing. The 40+ year bonding ritual with my father is creeping to a halt, and that is disappointing, there are other things we do, but this was one of the oldest and most enjoyable for both of us. It is like the end of a favorite book, bittersweet.
I saw Crystal Skull in theatre back in the day. I don't hate it in the same sense I don't hate the Star Wars prequels. They really aren't terrible in the grand scheme, but fell far short of the originals. On top of that, they just didn't feel all that necessary even at the time. I didn't bother to see Dial. I didn't intend to anyway. Even before Doomcock leaked it, we knew what we were getting. Even if you subtract all the woke elements, it's still just a terribly unfunny Weekend at Bernie's that nobody wanted nor asked for. IDK why Harrison Ford even accepted the role. He was way too old, and surely doesn't need the money.
I don't know why you cannot let things go in life.
@@EpicJoshua314 Says the guy who seems to be actively responding to every negative opinion expressed in this comments thread. I'll never watch DoD, but even for films I truly love I wouldn't feel the need to defend them from every random commenter on a random youtube critics video.

At least Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had a happy ending and had a good family message, but ended for me perfectly with Last Crusade
Love not going to these cash grabs. See yah Disney!
Dial of Dysentery
Yawn.
Indiana Jones and The Dial of Dysentery!
The fact that the train set was the one built for Mission Impossible due to it being cheaper and more convenient for the production then building their own is pretty embarrassing given the difference in quality between the two movies.
It's only a sour note to end the franchise on if you watch it or acknowledge its existence. Two things I refuse to do.
Was this piece of box-office bomb the reason they cancelled National Treasure 3!?
I wish Indy 5 was an april fools joke
I wish you would get a life
I don’t even consider it an Indy movie.
Dial of Deconstruction
I'm happy to say I played a part in Disney losing all that money on this movie because I didn't go see this garbage.
The Dial of Dysentery...
Dial of Dysentry.
It's like these studios hate Harrison Ford.
Disney trash again again again
I saw a making-of and was perplexed by how much work they have put in and then ruined it. They spent so much effort and money on real locations, models, extras and what not, but in the end everything looks like a cheap computer game. I have no clue how and why they did that and its bothering me ever since.
There are only 3 Indiana Jones films. If They/Them can substitute reality with delusion, then so can I.
Dial of Dysentary
I shamefully paid to see Dial of Destiny.
Those are worse numbers than Solo: A Star Wars story.
Financial loss = tax write-off
It was a great time when folk like Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone and Arnie made comeback movies while in their 60s. They were older and the films weren't quite on par with their classics but it was great seeing them in the cinema again and being more than capable at that age. Sometimes there was a sly dig at them being "old" just to address the fact that they were that age, but it was quickly overcome by the protagonist. Now, making films when they're this old, you can't work around it. You can only make it a film about them being too old to do anything and needing to "pass the torch."
Indiana Jones and the Flop of Destiny. 🎉
Mice always crap where they eat.
When ideologues teach you how to make a movie...
It was a big barrel of arse
Wow they lost almost a half a billion $$$$$$$$$. If I was a Disney stockholder I'd be screaming !!!!!!!
_Last Crusade_ was a perfect ending to the series, with them all riding off into the sunset like all the pulp/Western adventures it was based on. _Crystal Skull_ was decent overall, and it wrapped things up nicely with Marion and the wedding and the passing-the-hat gag. _Dial of Destiny_ had to destroy *_two_* perfectly good "happy endings" just to introduce a new character to belittle Indy at every turn; it shouldn't have existed, and it deservedly failed at the box office.
We live in a time where comedies are dead yet everything sound like its a comedy skit.
There were only three Indiana Jones movies. Repeat after me, *THREE*.
What are you even talking about? This franchise ended with Indy, Henry, Brody, and Sallah riding triumphantly away from Petra on horses! Everybody knows that.

Sisu cost 6 million Euros and made $14.3 million. Nobody cost $16 million and made $60 million. Making money with action movies isn't hard. Good story, good characters, good acting, good action. NO WOKE CRAP.
Ouch! Half a billion dollars is a lot of money to lose even for a massive company like Disney.
It's because the producers, scriptwriters, and even the idea of making this film was thick! Is why I call it 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Duncity'... 😏
