I asked for a mix between the short and long-form content in the comments a couple weeks ago and boy did you deliver. Love these bite-sized reviews co-existing with videos like the M:I one you put out earlier. You and Murrell are truly the two film critics I hold in most high regard.
Nice scripting and editing Dave! In less than four minutes I felt like I got a personal and thoughtful review. Love this format!
I've decided to never watch this movie. I never watched part 4, and I think keeping it a trilogy is the right move here. This is very rare for me though, I usually watch everything. I just love the original trilogy so much and have always loved how it ended. It'd be like making Back to the Future 4. I don't need it.
I support this
They made a BTTF game that was a continuation of the trilogy so that was your part 4 right there.
But keeping Indy franchise a movie trilogy? Not so sure about that. Should it have been kept in the 80’s? Maybe. Uncharted was never a trilogy. Sean Connery’s James Bond films turned out to be more than a trilogy and yet he liked that role a lot less than Harrison Ford liked playing Indy. Maybe they should have made more Indy adventures but in video game format (at least 4 original ones btw). Personally I’d go see the movie just to say goodbye to him (as this character) and John Williams music as well.
The last Indie flick ended with them riding off into the sunset. I heard they're already blaming it's bad reviews on Ford being old!😂😂😂 Clint Eastwood played a badass in his late ages and was believable but he had control over the script so this was intentional to sh*t on Indie and shoe horn in Fleabag
That's unfortunate
I'm glad there is still a group of people who appreciate the kingdom of the crystal skull
It's underrated for sure.
The thing is, they actually did film on set for most of the movie. Look up behind the scenes. All of the New York and Morocco chases were practical
One of the reasons why I don’t quite agree with the review. They all went to the places. And while it doesn’t look as good as Spielberg would have framed it I think the trade between practical and digital feels better than with Crystal skull
certainly agree with the 'going to place, doing a thing' bar.
David really loving your new short reviews
Dave is the Quibi we need.
Indiana Jones is a great movie trilogy! Too bad that there won’t be any more movies in that franchise.
Haha so funny
Got to see an early screening and sadly broadly agree with your thoughts here. Not loving I decided to put this #1 in the summer movie wager b/c nostalgia drove Top Gun so why not this. Cruise though in Top Gun clearly went to a place and did a thing and now he is again in MIpt1. Hey, great review format and nice camera placement.
Love your reviews Dave! But I have to disagree with your point about Crystal Skull - While I love Janusz's cinematography normally, I think it was all wrong in Crystal Skull. It needed to look more consistent with the first three. And so much of that film is full of bad greenscreen work.
So are you saying we should perhaps *dial down* our expectations for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny?
Indeed
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Interesting criticism but KOTCS never set foot outside of the US and the entire third act was on greenscreen because Spielberg didn’t want to go overseas. Is DOD worse? They definitely shot stuff in the U.K.
Fair points about KOTCS. I think you’ll have to see the movie yourself and decide if my critique is valid. But I’m curious!
And that is a big difference between Crystal Skull and this movie. They shot on physical locations in the UK (Scotland, Yorkshire), and also on location in Sicily and Morocco. Sure...they also filmed in pinewood studios, like all the Indy movies, but unlike Crystal Skull, with this movie they actually went to places and did things. So I don't know what this guy is talking about in the review about how it doesn't look like they went anywhere. 😂 I guess people are so used to the volume that they are now expecting everything is the volume?
@@caomhan84 It’s probably that certain stunts are augmented by CGI these days, or they don’t do all the stunts on location so much but go there to get photorealistic backgrounds for use later. I’m sure a lot of things done “for real” haven’t just been captured on camera and shown to us, they’ve been heavily manipulated afterwards and given that false feel.
@@danowen79 It could be. I know the parade sequence was actually filmed in Scotland with huge green screens to show the crowds. But I watched the leaked 6 minute Morocco chase sequence and it looks fine to me. There's only one point in that entire 6 minutes that looks like it was CG augmented. Because the rest of that stunt is practical. We have footage of it being performed. I guess I could see people complaining about the train sequence at the beginning of the film. We've seen it briefly in the trailers and it does look heavily CG augmented. I don't know; I guess I have to see it myself. But James Mangold did say that they were as practical as they could be with this movie.
I'm just excited thet Harrison ford is excited sbour. He genuinely weems joyous to be back in the role
No, but I will give Harrison Ford respect for reprising his role as Indiana Jones one last time.
Indy 5 is great. Doesn’t deserve the hate.
Dial of Destiny was completely shot on location or in studio sets. No volumes were used in this movie.
Whether or not that’s true, many of the scenes don’t look believably real. That said: I am genuinely curious what you and other people think after you’ve seen the film.
Just saw the movie and I’ve always liked crystal skull and it’s much better than this movie. The flashbacks were awesome though young Indi took me back to when I was a kid.
Oof I don't know about you saying Crystal Skull looks better than Dial of Destiny because that movie looks dreadful in my opinion. It's got that weird effect the Hobbit movies have with everything has too much bloom and glare, everyone and everything is glowing and the green screen and CGI is glaringly obvious. That being said though Dial of Destiny also had too much CGI...but for me it was a better looking, more grounded film.
Was the movie necessary? Absolutely not...but I liked we got another Indiana Jones adventure and its kinda fun seeing the a character at the end of their lives which we rarely ever see.
I really liked the movie. It’s Indy doing Indy things and shooting nazis. I think the deaging looks fine and we basically get all the aspects from the other films including a supernatural ending
I'm surprised by the apparent poor level of film-making by James Mangold, would've expected better! Would've liked Mangold's co-writers from Logan in Michael Green and especially Scott Frank to have been involved with this script.
They should have stopped at the Temple of Doom, the Geriatrics of Destiny should have never been made.
Indy going to the future and seeing to it that Kelly Rowland had the enormous solo career was.. a strong choice. Spoilers, sorry everyone!!
Dude what the hell...dont just write spoilers in the comments
Damn dude
I mean, crystal skull was fine
It's interesting that David thinks Skull was filmed on location and looks good. I thought the lighting was unbelievably garish and clashed with the earlier films, and so many of the jungle scenes looked weirdly phony, from the moving sword fight to the vehicle falling off a ravine and being held by a tree, like out if a Bugs Bunny cartoon, which looked super fake. Even the inside of the temple at the end looked like a cheap set; either the lighting or the production design were poorly handled. I won't go into the monkey swinging, etc, because it's too easy.
Curious to hear what you think of this one!
Short Review:
Indy V.
It’s Nightmare Fuel and Sux Shite. Period.
"Bcuz you are lukewarm, neither hot or cold, i will vomit you out of my mouth." Rev. 3:16
I thought this movie was so ugly looking, I agree, such a shame they didn’t shoot on film
Untrue about real locations they filmed the New York scenes in Glasgow Scotland and London the prologue Castle bridge and train was filmed in the east coast of England they filmed in Sicily and Morocco
Honestly? Could’ve fooled me.
@@davechensky guess you didn't follow production.
@@davechensky are you even a real Indiana Jones fanboy?
@@davechensky so you didn't see the opening prologue at the castle and the bridge and the train filmed on the east north coast of England? So you didn't see the Greek ruins filmed in Sicily or the New York City scenes filmed in Scotland and London or the Moroccan chase scene filmed in Morocco?
@@davechensky this is Glasgow shoot subbing for NY City they also filmed pick up shots in London the same spots in Glasgow and London were used in The Batman! This is the Glasgow Scotland scene being filmed, ua-cam.com/video/HC-P54JMrdo/v-deo.html
I'll probably wait for it on Disney+
Worst Indiana jones to date. I have only walked out of a movie once before until indy 5 at 2 hours i had enough i left angry at myself for wasting my time and money
There is one terrible Indiana Jones movie and it’s called Temple of Doom.
No way. Crystal skull looks like complete fake garbage!
Great action movie and fantasy . Girl was annoying
Not gonna watch ever.
