Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (June 30th, 2023)

[a-dev]

I'm cool with that. As I'm cool with anyone preferring ANH, T1, Alien etc when the more obvious choices are TLJ, Genisys and Alien Resurrection respectively

Savage little man you are savage savage lol

Probably time for me to finally watch these movies.

Just remember that Raiders it’s considered a perfect film and then the quality begins decreasing immediately with the subsequent sequels getting worse as they go along so in other words:

Raiders: Great (Perfect really)
TOD: Good
TLC: Fair
KOTCS: Bad

5 will probably end being OK lol

So the same as the Terminator franchise?

 

[jye4ever]

And Die Hard, Aliens and Predator lol

For me not true with Terminator though as I prefer T2 over T1.

But I eventually came back to ROTLA.

Then there is hope for you yet.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Probably time for me to finally watch these movies.

I will never understand the hate TLC gets, It?s right up there with Rotla to me. Way better than TOD.

TOD was terrible, horrible effects , even at that time, totally BS action, (the boat parachute is as stupid as the fridge). Annoying sidekicks.....what is it about that film people enjoy?

TOD death cult stuff in the caves drags the movie down to a crawl for me super boring but Indy is awesome in it.

TLC has some decent action moments but overall feels cheap especially that ending and don’t get me started on his origin story yikes

 

[Johnny Utah]

What are you on about with the hate for Last Crusade LOL

 

[jye4ever]

I’ve actually grown to finally accept TLC and find some enjoyment out of it because opening night at the theater I was like holy crap this sucks lol

It felt like a cheap imitation of Raiders.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Crystal Dull is clearly the worst

It was. And it wanted to be.

The only new gag they had was Connery. A good one... but the only bit worth watching, and he got a little silly after a while.

*cue cawing at seagulls with umbrella*




Crystal Skull shouldn't even be discussed in an Indy thread. Its like Alien Resurrection. Just a strange abomination that demonstrates what happens when a studio wants money fast (or in Indy's case, George, Steven and Harrison).

Spielberg's annoying wife ruins TOD for me. She might be more annoying than Vicky Vale in Batman. Having said that, the opening, the *now* racist dinner scene, and third act are cool.

TLC, I like the flashback in the beginning only because it acknowledges that the concept of Indy is a ripoff, so Indy stealing some dude's image and persona works for me. Then, the movie slows down too much and Indy is walking around in a suit, later wearing a tie, exchanging jokes with his dad in what should be dangerous situations, and the whole ending with the old guys and the cup is kind of lame. I can see why it took 20 years to make another one.

Anyone holding out hope of a HT Indy upgrade for the 40th anniversary?

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

HT....anniversary...

 

[Prime Clone]

Yes, I know it's not their style, but... with the 4K versions coming out and the new movie just around the corner...
