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

[TaliBane]

As cringe as Disney is at this (I still adore that distant nose-lady smooch from the SW ST) the thing that stood out most is that the entire production of Jungle Cruise never seemed to have left Burbank for the entire movie. So we're supposed to get thrills and chills from CGI leopards, waterfalls, Davy Jones II etc that look 99% real yet feel 200% bogus.

THAT concerns me for the next installment of a franchise whose first movie was an ACTUAL globe-trotting production who put real people in real danger. Today there'd be a shot of CGI tarantulas on Indy's back and half the time the truck chase vehicle would be a Black Panther style CGI spinning toy with CGI Indy hanging off it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yep, it's going to be that too.

The time of Indiana Jones -- and I don't mean the 30's -- seems to be long ago.

The Nazis of today. You know the type.. business owners, landlords,...really anybody not living paycheck to paycheck.

Things these days are exponentially more disposable, interchangeable, and phony. To think a good amount of this movie is going to end up being a special effect of Ford's face on someone else's body... What little glimmer of hope I had for this movie is steadily dwindling.

 

[Wor-Gar]

My glimmer left in 2008's mess of a sequel.

For 2022 Indy, I have only disgust (except for the casting of Mads).

Build you up, let you down, then kind of win you back. That's Hollywood in a nutshell. You'll like some of the movie, but won't love it like Raiders.

 

[Wor-Gar]

You'll like some of the movie...

Something tells me this is incorrect.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

(except for the casting of Mads).

He'll disappoint you too...eventually.

He doesn't pretend to whip around warehouses though and will defeat you with pure hatred.

“A mans got to know his limitations…” and Clint does.

Is that a new Indy 5 on-set pic? HF is looking a little better there than a few of those earlier images.

 

[jye4ever]

The movie seems like a rip off Rambo 5 lol

But it could be much worse?

Just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time, was alright I don’t feel like I was really missing much though, felt a bit too long honestly .

Was surprised at the amount of blood/gore though.

The trailer looks horrible worse than Rambo 5 lol

Wait what?

Wait what?

Average movie, quite boring honestly.

I guess it's not for everyone. It is actually my favorite film of all time but I saw it in theaters when it originally came out. What is one of your favorites if you don't mind me asking?
