Indiana Jones 5 or Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny or whatever silly name you want to call it made it’s way to the Cannes Film Festival last week, and boy were the results disastrous. The latest attempt by LucasFilm to destr-I mean “modernize” another franchise sends Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones on his final adventure. By the looks of it, seems like he’ll be going out in shame seeing how the movie was so bad people were whispering out of boredom.
Modern critics were supposed to love Indiana Jones 5 because of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and her “comedy”, not to mention the fact that she’s most likely replacing Indiana Jones. To see that even they hate it means LucasFilm made a movie solely to shill to an audience that couldn’t care less. That’s a bad sign for any movie, but for one with a $300 million budget? Well, that spells box office dud in bright neon letters for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Fear not, loyal fans. "Rome wasn't burnt to the ground within a day." ❤️
basically, they just want to inject identity politics into every IP and dun care about the lore or if they burn bridges/alienate previously loyal fans…
There are only 3 indie movies. The 2 cheap copies don't count
"Look how they massacred my boy…."
"Don't look at it, Marion. Shut your eyes. Don't look at Disney Lukelessfilm's Indy 5, no matter what happens."
Letting KK oversee new Lucasfilm content is like letting Marcy D'Arcy be the showrunner of Psycho Dad.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is what caused Hollywood to shift its focus from making money to making agitprop. The deep state feared it was losing its grip on the ignorant masses after the MAGAcaust and decided to double down on the anti-white, anti-male, anti-capitalism brainwashing. Now it's finally starting to backfire.
Crystal Skull was crap, and unneeded. Now we have an old man running around and some talentless woman in it. I cannot stand Phoebe talentless Bridge, and with her in the film, I will give it a miss. Indy is a trilogy, not 4, not 5 – 3 films! Like Star Wars – a trilogy episodes 4, 5, 6!
@4:22 "Some men just want to watch the world burn"..never a truer word the Batmans Micheal Caine character Alfred.. 😉
KKK… "Kathleen Kennedy Kills" everything she touches…
It's like kids knocking on an old man's door a laughing at him when he comes out confused in his underwear. Just leave the old guy alone, arseholes.
Aliens wasn't the problem with Indy 4 it was the many events and casting choices
Its not that he's old. The story could deal with a brave guy, challenged by his physical limitations, digging deep, being heroic, and winning. Not this mess.
Agreed, Indy's son should have taken over as was the original idea, but with PC the idea is to rewrite history and wreck the past, which includes films and then replace it with a PC film franchise….that is how those idiot work.
Kathleen Kennedy reminds me of a real bad shit stain in your undies. No matter how hard you scrub that little fucker is still there. Plus her face reminds me of a skid mark🤷🏿♂️
I think Ford wanted to put the character to sleep. Now we have an extremely unlikable woman in the role.
So, Ford gets a nice paycheck and he laughs at us on the way out.
I would like to act to shocked, but I can‘t.
Blah blah blah….Haters masquerading as fans to get views is pathetic. The movie is actually getting good reviews from the people and critics I trust. Most of the "fans" shitting on this movie havent seen it, and have already decided to hate it. True fans….SMH
I think that it's ironic that just shy of 30 years ago, Disney was the gold standard for movies and TV, but now they can barely make a decent film anymore.
Really shows how far they've fallen.
Kathleen Kennedy needs to lose her job, as well as all her yes men and yes people who just do whatever she wants them to
RT's rating have been artificially increased to a miserable 62% as of 6/23/23…pretty embarrassing…will avoid completely.
I walked out on that film like the South park kids
When Kathleen Kennedy dies, Lucasfilm will be in way better shape.
I don’t understand how Ford went along with this one?
He’s eighty and can’t need the money?
Kennedy is the common cancer in all disney's mistakes
Five minutes ovation…. They're just happy it's finally over so they could leave right away.
Need to increase your audio volume.
Calling yourself a "hero" is like saying Pee Wee Herman should be an honorary member of the NFL Hall of Fame.
Disney's annual gross profit for 2022 was $28 billion, a 27% increase from 2021.
If the woke Disney want strong, lesbian women to dominate their movies, let them create all new characters and franchises – then let the paying public decide. I think they know, without a doubt, how that will end – not good financially. RIP Indiana Jones – it was a wild ride, while it lasted. Thanks for the memories.
All these "review channels" are unable to think for themselves before they even see the film. They only see things as good or bad but are too lazy to look at films in depth. I love the first three Indy films but there are certainly moments of bad stuff but that doesn't make the films bad themselves. Dial of Destiny will have some bad, good, and some great moments for sure. So just believe it is best to see it for yourself rather than hold pitchforks at disney just cause people on the internet want you to.
I member, you member, member?
Every Comedian/writer has a style, very few can switch or cover numerous styles, think back to the greats like Gene Wilder, he was funny & successful basically playing the same character, no one had a problem with him in any of his movies, you knew what you were going to get and he delivered.
The issue is he wasn't shoehorned into Movies outside of his 'character' just because he was successful, likewise Mel Brooks wasn't hired to edit the script or give ideas for Deliverance or The Omen.
Studios have got lazy not just churning out sequeal/prequels and thinking it's a cheap formula for success but hiring in anyone that's had a 'hit' and including them in a genre they simply don't suit.
It's like hiring Hugh Grant to be the next 007, why? Unless you wanted Bond to appear as a tongue tied, blushing, middle aged 'teenager' stumbling over his words, and being awkward in every situation he found himself in.
Hollywood has done, I haven't gone to a theater to watch a movie for years and probably won't ever again.
Spot on analysis.
I think you meant "virtues to signal"
SO EXCITED FOR THIS FILM!
"Signals to virtue"?
Well, Kathleen Kennedy gets everything ass-backwards, so…
I see what you did there!
Good commentary – expresses my (and many millions other's) feelings perfectly.
[And maybe – I'm going to whisper this – maybe this will finally be the KK Killer!?!?)
Ahh yes, I bet ants do complain when they get smushed, but who could hear them?
It's like watching Biden if he was Indy. Very unpleasant to watch and look at. If there was ever an unnecessary sequel prize, Dial of Destiny would be the winner.
Nothing will ever, ever top the first 3 movies.
I pretend Crystal Skull and this piece of shit isn't cannon.
I hate Hollywood making white old men being lead / taken out of retirement. They're depressed, drunks and cynical.
I don't believe for a second Harrisons old ass even did a quarter of his stunts. He's very slow ans frail. If they can do a young CGI Indy, they could do it for old Indy.
