Today I sit down to discuss the upcoming final installment in the greatest adventure series of all time, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”. I come dangerously close to becoming a typical YouTuber, ranting about the state of modern filmmaking, but hopefully my love of Dr. Jones will balance out some of my more negative commentary.
Join me as I discuss the road that led to Indiana Jones 5, including Tomb Raider, Jungle Cruise, Red Notice, Uncharted, and much more!
And of course, I’ll be taking a look at the Teaser Trailer, the Big Game Teaser, and the newest Trailer too!
Starring Harrison Ford, John Rhys-Davies, Mads Mikkelsen, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Antonio Banderas
Score by John Williams
Directed by James Mangold

We all want some new adventure movies. At this point in time we all know exactly what we’re going to get and it’s not going to be good.
Your criticism of todays movies is spot on.
Very entertaining analysis (I laughed out loud several times) and excellent observations about what makes a quality adventure movie.
Great show, felt more a show from the old days than just to say video. I appreciate the work you put into these and hopefully your audience builds with your catalog of reviews.
I also really like the costume aspect you bring.
I’m like you with the dial movie, I hope for the best but unfortunately I’m not overly optimistic.
Also I’m assuming the dial is a time travel device or more likely fountain of youth dial actually.
Thanks for another great video. Well done!
This is just my opinion, but Last Crusade is the worst of the original 3. Too many jokes, Marcus is made into a bumbling fool, and seeing Indy get many of his standout traits, in a 15-minute time span, was pretty ridiculous. That movie took away all the mystery of the character. Indiana Jones was my favorite movie growing up, and I hated the Last Crusade the first time I saw it. It's grown on me over the years, but I find it far inferior to the first two releases.
Edit: I forgot to mention, the reason I didn't have a problem with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, was because I had lower expectations due to my disappointment in Last Crusade.
Although, if all it does is A. give Indiana Jones a good send off and B. Is better than Crystal Skull. It will be the fourth best Indiana Jones movie, which is no mean feat.
Now THAT is a realy great video – good work! Love it!
Excellent review. Film schools are not producing good filmmakers and film corporations are not hiring directors who know film history and theory well enough to break the rules and take a genre to a classic place. I have hopes for Indy 5.
The fourth movie was garbage and no, we're not going to get over it
He WILL fire a gun in Indy 5.
I'm sorry to say, but if you're banking on Indy 5 to save anything you are going to be very upset when this movie comes out and probably sucks
Great analysis here. I am a HUGE Indiana Jones fan. Been waiting for this movie since Last Crusade (BEST INDY MOVIE!). I’m sorry but Crystal Skull was such a let down, except for the return of Karen Allen. So excited to see this Final Indy movie, and thank you! And I love Harrison Ford!
I disagree on Crystal Skull. It was incredibly mediocre. It lacked everything that made the original 3 work. It's completely lifeless, without energy, and lacks a compelling story. The characters are all dull and uninteresting. The look of the film is horrible, it looks extremely glossy and shiny, it doesn't feel like it takes place at all in the real world, there isn't a moment of real excitement or suspense, and the attempts at humor almost all fall flat. This fifth movie really has to make up for it and Im confident it will, just based on the trailers it just can't be worse than Crystal Skull.
I'm so glad to here u say that about Indiana Jones, Crystal Skull an to tell people to get over the fact that they didn't like it. That infuriated me that people dogged on Indys movie so much. Glad to see someone say they actually loved it ,as did I when it came
Really enjoyed watching this and hearing your insight into filmmaking.
“Modern adventure” is kind of a vague umbrella. I personally consider the Mission Impossible series the successor to the Indiana Jones films.
I'm excited for the Apollo chase scene, it looks really fun.
Thank you!🙌🏻❤️, these are exactly my thoughts on modern movies. I wish we can turn back to the good old days
I hope Indy 5 will do this, but I feel like it will only be a better version of Crystal Skull, which considering the current crop of awful films, might be enough to satisfy me.
I truly do miss the look of films from the 60's – 90's, and hate the look of modern films. They're too clean looking, too color graded, too CGed, too polished and sterile. Indy 5 looks to have a lot of this (Falling out of plane scene, train scene in the 40's, digital fire etc).
Mangold is a great director, but he's modernized his style, and he's under Disney's boot…
Indy doesn't even have a gun in any of the footage. Is this another watered down Disney version of Indy where it's political to shoot the bad guys this time? In Raiders he shot two or three people in the head, and shot others in Temple and Crusade, and it was within his character to do so…
Cautiously optimistic, but expecting a bait and switch. If this is as predictable as I'm expecting, Marion WON'T be dead, she'll have left Indy because he became a deadbeat loser, which is the agenda of studios and politics today, to make white men look inferior. The plot twist might be Indy wanting to go back in time to not be a loser and to redo his past, ugh…
One thing I'll point out though, to be positive, is that Harrison's acting seems to be terrific again, very much like in the first three Indy films. He wasn't awful in Crystal Skull, but his performance was lacking compared to the earlier films. I think he'll bring his A game again.
Hello. As a fan of Indy and all pulpy adventure movies, books and comics, for me the best adventure movie that come out after Last Crusade is The Rocketter. Then you have Hidalgo from the same director, who is a good adventure movie – he also directed Jumanji a good adventure.
The MCU had a good oportunity to do a good pulpy adventure movie with Captain America 1, but they messed everything censuring nazis and forgetting all the WWII missions against nazis – Joe Johnson did some good work in adventure movie.
But, when a movie has the Rock, forget it.
When Indy was created Lucas didn't want Harrison Ford because he already did Han Solo. But HF is a perfect cast and he created a perfect character with the excelent script and info gave by Lucas, Spielberg and Kasdan.
Modern star actors can't do what Ford did in the past. At least star actors with a big ego – even Tom Cruise isn't comparable with Ford by any means. Cruise is the movie – Indiana Jones aren't Harrison Ford centric.
Maybe one day, the studio that created John Wick, decides to do with adventure what they did with action. Maybe when that day come it comes a good movie.
Excelent video.
Just one thing – the horse scene was done when Harrison Ford was injured.
They had all Scolland prepared to shot and then HF was injured – they needed to shot everything they could.
Great video. I got an absolute shock when I saw you only had 600 subscribers. Keep the videos coming!
