Indiana Jones: The Dial of Destiny

My lord this looks absolutely terrible, and from what I've heard from the leaks it's going to be even worse than it looks.

Why couldn't they have just stopped at The Last Crusade? The clue that they should was even in the title!

@ravenwind43 Disney used to be the memory makers, now all they do is shit on them from a great height 😠

Back in '08, I went to the cinema with a friend of mine to see "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and purely out of curiosity. Many of you know how it is, going to see a new movie, especially if it's a long-awaited sequel to a film released 20-some-odd years prior and you're asking yourself "Is it gonna be good?" "Is it gonna be okay?" "Or is it gonna suck?" Now whatever your answer to that may be, there is one thing for certain I'm certain we can all agree upon... That it'll have you leaving the cinema different from when you came in. But I digress... In my opinion, "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was one of those films that was just... Okay. On the plus column, it was great seeing Harrison Ford reprising the role of Indiana Jones and Karen Allen reprising the role of Marion. However, the plot of the film... Well let's just say it left something to be desired. Final verdict: 1 1/2 stars out of a five star rating. Now this forthcoming sequel, "The Dial of Destiny," I have yet to see before I can offer my final verdict. As a film buff, I wouldn't want to prejudice a film without seeing it first.

@Sidewinder I'd be happy to hear your take on it once you've seen it.

@Whodunnit I'd go a step beyond and post a review of all five films (to date) in succession.

@Sidewinder You should start a YouTube channel

the last crusade was probably the best one
Sean Connery made it

@Whodunnit they have it makes it more real

@SW-User i was reading only yesterday about die hard. when Alan rickmans character fell at the end. you see his eyes, they are genuinely scared
the stunt man was counting him down from 5 so he was ready for the fall but let him go on 2 so the shock is real haha

@Whodunnit Fun Fact: Harrison Ford was ill when he did that scene, so instead of an all-out fight scene, it was decided that he just pop a cap in that scimitar weilding keester of his. However, I like the sword scene in Temple of Doom, the most, with the two Thuggee swords men simultaneously swinging their swords as the intercept Indy, having him reach for his empty gun holster before fighting them hand-to hand.

I refuse to even watch the trailer. The last one was such a bad idea and Harrison Ford has only gotten older and more tired since then. 😂

@Whodunnit Star Trek is one that continues to make me very sad.
Whodunnit · M
@thepreposterouspanda Oh god. Don't remind me 😔

It's gone from being one of my top five of all time to actively avoiding even seeing clips of it.

@Whodunnit I watched the first half of the first episode of Discovery and knew that it was all over with. 😑

There was a private screening with a test audience and from what I read, the reviews were not positive at all. They should have stopped with The Last Crusade. We didn't need Indy discovering aliens in the last movie. 👽
Whodunnit · M
@Barefooter25 I'd heard that too. The best result was less than a 40% approval rating.

I haven't heard the rumours, but i agree.. Go out on a high note... No 3 was brilliant
Whodunnit · M
@Convivial By far my favourite 😁

@Whodunnit

Maybe it is only an American brand.
Whodunnit · M
@JoyfulSilence Maybe I don't wash often enough 😂

@Whodunnit

I don't use Dial.

I really liked the first one but don't ever remember making it all the way through the second one. Tried a couple of times but stopped at the monkey brain scene, if I recall. Didn't bother with any of the others. This just seems like a vanity project for Ford and Disney's new tech.
Whodunnit · M
@PhilDeep I agree the second was weaker than the first, but the third was the best of them all. I try not to think of anything after that 😔

Yeah the crystal skulls suck dude
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
That honestly should have been the final episode. Go out on a high note, that's what I always say.
Whodunnit · M
@LordShadowfire I totally agree. Awesome film, fantastic cast, and they even rode off into the sunset. A perfect ending.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Whodunnit I'm fully convinced that was meant to be the end of the series.
