It's sickening. Absolutely sickening. How could anyone be so evil to George, to the fans, to society, to the movie industry, hell, even to the small group of people she thinks she's supporting! All she has done is cause damage. She's like that metallica song, seek and destroy.
Isn't George Lucas the one who picked her to be his replacement? Personally, I say "no more Kennedy's" The last good one got his brains blown out 60 years ago.
George got played, and had to pick Kennedy from what I remember. As for Kennedy ruining George's IPs, I think she is a good corpo climer, but doesn't understand art, and believes that "he got lucky, everyone can do that" type of a person. Which in itself isn't bad, but after 2 3 flops maybe you think her brain would've gone like, "maybe I'm wrong". Disney CEO had to intervene after the Last Jedi, for sure. But who knows...
@@the_inquisitive_inquisitorshe was his assistant/secretary? Had no real experience under him, just wanted to force and impose women roles... I'm sorry but I don't see a lady in that time taking on as many Nazi's that Indy has and getting out alive.
All Lucasfilm had to do after Last Crusade was adapt Fate of Atlantis, Infernal Machine, and/or Emperor's Tomb into film. If they did that, Indy would have had 5 successes in a row. That is the real tragedy here.
Spielberg is amazing at framing and blocking. You can tell when he's just the producer and not the director and You know a female character is bad when other women want to punch her in the face and There are only three Indiana Jones movies. Last crusade was the perfect send off, with them riding into the sunset.
And honestly last crusade is nowhere near as good as the first two. But still far far far superior to the trash they made afterwards. I am gonna skip this one, hell, crystal skull I couldn't even finish.
*Ke Huy Quan* shoulda been in this movie. He played Short Round in _The Temple Of Doom,_ and he trained in stunt coordination for many years before winning Best Actor Oscar from the Academy Awards for his work in _Everything Everywhere All At Once._ How did Disney overlook this guy? Can you imagine how FUN it would be to see him reunited with Harrison Ford in an Indiana Jones movie?
This movie should have been delayed. If it's really Harrison Fords last film as Indiana Jones Ke Hu Quan should have taken on the mantle. Wasted opportunity. It's like not having Luke, Han, Chewie, Lea, and Lando share a scene in the sequel trilogy.
Throughout the movie, I kept thinking how it would have been a hundred times better if it was Short Round running around with Indy instead of Helena. And if Sallah was with them, too, I would have been willing to forgive everything else the movie does. But no, we got the Mary Sue and her excruciatingly annoying sidekick.
Also with the loss of Mutt, his actual blood son. It would’ve been cool for Indy to have that 2nd chance at a fatherly role. But no we have to have have a dislikable god daughter!
I'll say this about Crystal skull: It had genuine ambition from George and Spielberg decided to pitch in (regardless of interest). It had an ending that was a good sendoff of Indy and showed us there would be no second person to take his place. This has no ambition and was made via scrapbooking (they come up with multiple endings and see which is best for test audiences). This was 100% soulless from the start.
Crystal Skull could have actually been a good movie if they didn’t rely so much on CGI. Harrison Ford was about a decade too old for the role in that film but he still looks good. If Crystal skull came out in the late 90s, I think it would have been a good movie
It's hard, id have to re watch it. From memory his son was just to much of a pain, if he had been toned down a bit I think id have liked it more. Also the old people romance was to much for me, not a fan of the ending.
@@liaminwales You should definitely rewatch it. I rewatched it this week and his son, Mutt, actually wasn't that bad. He has a tough guy facade in the first like 15 to 30 minutes of the film because he's a greaser but once he sees Indy kicks ass and they bond he drops all of that.
@@jase276 Shia LaBeouf is the problem now. I don't think he can be invited back for Disney due to his abuse issues. It's a similar thing to Ezra Miller right now. It's very hard to watch them work without picturing their victims, and it takes me out of the movie wondering how their victims are reacting to their perpetrator's success. It's one of the least "entertaining" thing on Earth, like participating in the problem.
They definitely filmed different endings because the final ending feels tacked on and doesn't work, like why would they think her punching Indys lights out and waking up at home be good?It's like you go to grab your toothpaste and the cap is from a ketchup bottle.
Hilariously Archimedes was actually fascinated by water displacement, he was the first to record the concept of a screw pump, commonly known as an “Archimedes screw”
It’s almost like a professor of archaeology would have a pretty good working knowledge of archimedes compared to 3 randos who can barely pay attention to a movie.
@@akmal94ibrahim Really? Then I must have had a shitty physics AND history teacher, cuz if I'd ever been taught that you can bet your ass I would have listened. But no, all I remember we learned about was WW2 and IF they touched on ancient Greece it was only its politics and politics are b-o-r-i-n-g.
Beloved??? I don’t understand you boomers and your fascination with Indiana Jones, it’s so basic! Nobody under the age of 25 cares about these films dude
I’m surprised no one has mentioned the fact that he was framed for murder earlier in the movie only to never be mentioned again throughout the movie. 😂
Obvisouly you were too dumb to pay attention in the movie. He explicitly says that he needs to find his goddaughter because she can prove he’s innocent. That’s why he goes on the trip to begin with.
@@TheDFaiz I can’t believe they would just bring that up only for it to go nowhere. Do these filmmakers actually see the movie they are making when it’s done? This movie has plot holes galore. Even the de-aging sequence was only done half way. You make Harrison young but his voice is clearly old man Ford 😂 This movie is a product of just Disney having the IP and wanting to get their money’s worth, nothing more nothing less.
@christiandegn1848 Wokeness is not one ideology but a collection of far left identitarian ideologies. The 3 pillars of wokeness are: 4th wave feminism, gender theory and critical race theory. Well this definition isn't perfect because it's a little more complicated than that. For example Game of Thrones was arguably very feminist but it wasn't considered woke. And some say that Matrix was an allegory of transgenderism but no one says Matrix was woke. So to be considered woke you need something more than just feminism or gender / race stuff. The missing ingredient is a certain arrogance and preachyness. A certain religious authoritarianism. This becomes very obvious for example when the writers or director starts insulting fans and calling them sexist, racist and transphobes. When that happens you know for sure it's woke trash. 😂 As we know this happened in the case of Ghostbusters 2016, Star Wars, Rings of Power, Witcher, Miss Marvel, Batgirl, She Hulk, Terminator, James Bond, Little Mermaid, and so many more franchises. "If you don't like it it's because you hate women, lgbtq and/or black people" is the cry of the woketoid who doesn't understand that characters need to be more than just a gender or a race. They're very similar to nazis in this sense, and that's why they're so universally hated.
You know who would of made for a really good sidekick this movie. Not Hellen, but a proper grown up Shortround. The kids come along way in his career and actually getting to see a older and more mature Shortround working alongside Indy again, showing some of the stuff he learned and even having that enjoyable banter back and forth about old times. And what’s better… if you wanted to continue the franchise… he’s kind of the best chance for it and if you write him a nice and enjoyable character who is competent enough to work alongside Indy that by the end you would trust him like Indy did, there you go. And better, he’d make a good character for exploring more Asian based adventures or religions and their mystic relics/artefacts.
I guess they didn't expect Everything Everywhere All At Once to pop off like it did otherwise they would've added him in. At least we got to see them together on stage at The Oscars
Missed opportunity. Ke should have been in this film. I'd have rather waited a few months to see Shortround and Henry Jones Jr share scenes again. The Oscar's are the closest thing for sure.
I would love short round being the next adventurer. Obviously he wouldn’t be called Indiana, probably something cool though, with Indiana Jones being his mentor figure who’s old and wise. Short round earned it, unlike copy/pasted female empowerment character, and it respects Indiana Jones’s character.
It would’ve been so great if it was Indy, Short round, and Mutt having one last adventure with the family dynamic and then ending the film with Short Round and Mutt going off on their own adventures after Indy finally retires. Hell if they wanted to Kill Mutt, short round would’ve been a better person for Indy to have in this film because he was basically another son that could’ve consoled him with his grief.
The fact Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is better says EVERYTHING!! This is the difference between star wars prequels Vs sequels. One has problems but has the spirit. The other has an overall theming issue
Hmmmmm I think you might be right, and that might be a good microcosm of a metric to look at this through. We didn't exactly get a trilogy, but you could absolutely say that Crystal skull was the prequel era movie and this one is the sequel era.
Kathleen Kennedy really is obsessed with putting a fantasy version of herself in all these movies and making the "strong female character" better then old character we all came to see
What? I just left the movie & didn't get that impression at Indy. Indy was the coolest thing about the movie & as someone who never really watched any of the old films, I can say I may be a new fan. I really enjoyed this film & Indy was great from beginning to end.
She knocks him out, throws him in a plane, travels through time, comes back to Italy 1960, traveled to USA, (he’s still wanted for murder), takes him home, calls his wife and friend(she has the numbers?) and THEN he wakes up? How long was he punched out? A month?
Why was Helena able to attend (and take a leading role in) a black market auction being held in the hotel of a mob boss who wants to kill her? How was she allowed to enter? Didn't any of the mob boss's guys notice that the woman you ordered a hit on is leading an auction in your hotel? Also, why was the only security for this high-roller illegal auction a 12-year old kid (Teddy)? Indy was able to walk right in past Teddy, so were Voller and his men. Not very good security for an event with high-roller criminals at it. Also, when Indy was in the artifact storage room of his college, he pushed over a bunch of shelves full of artifacts. You can hear them shattering as the shelves topple. Indy has risked his life many times to recover artifacts like these. Seemed odd that he'd be willing to destroy a ton of them like that.
He is apu, to her Aladdin... ?? I was more upset that she was able to bring him on a flights from one country to another, in the sixties, while not being his legal guardian, I doubt that kid had a passport or proper documentation
@@My_trashtalking_account- I agree. I think somebody like Christopher Nolan could handle it. He actually puts a lot of love & care into every movie he makes. He does research, talks to specialists in whatever field his movie pertains to, etc. He takes his time & isn't interested in making cash grabs just to make the studios happy. Even his Batman movies are arguably some of the best comic books movies ever made. I feel like he could tackle Time Travel really well.
@@My_trashtalking_account If you are a really talented writer it's possible. If you have to it's better to barely touch on it like the first Terminator, its was really just a plot device in that to set up the story they didnt try to explain how it was done or get into paradoxes too much
I remember watching the first three movies with my grandmother all the time when I spent the night at her house on the weekends. We watched Kingdom of the Crystal Skull once and both agreed never again. She would be beside herself if she were still around to see Dial of Destiny. Another franchise I cherish, ruined.
Try Crystal Skull again after Dial of Destiny, I still maintain that the first 45 minutes to an hour are really fun. Once Indy says “Part time”, either turn it off or accept that the rest of the movie is nonsense. Spielberg directed it really well despite the script,
So we have them basically retreading material covered earlier, then utterly retconning the character development and relationship of the previous film...sounds about right for Lucasarts and Disney these days...
Yes, Alex, there was a clip in the trailer of Indy and Wombat using a prod of some sort to move a giant rolling bolder that looked like a nod to Raiders that was removed from the final film.
0:28 it's called "The Lance of Longinus" There are no less than 4 artifacts claimed to be the spear that pierced the side of Jesus on the Cross, all of which are entirely too ornate to be a standard issue spear for a Roman Legionary.
It could have been reforged and consecrated to reflect its divine nature, but we'll never know since the church largely purged all recorded history before 800 AD.
i think this makes it clear they didn't even want to like the movie. Raiders and crusade both had the nazis looking for christian artefacts and this is also a famous christian artefact that it makes sense that the nazis are looking for. Yet they wanna make it seem so dumb.
8:53 To address how the bad guys knew where Indy was going. Mads Mikkelsen’s character knew that Archimedes only lived in two places. If Indy wasn’t going to Alexandria, then Syracuse was the only other place he would have gone. 17:49 I get what the writers were going for. There are some sources from the Punic Wars that talk about a Roman general named Regulus who claimed to have fought a dragon in North Africa. They probably used that and decided to have it happen during the invasion of Syracuse instead. Obviously, the Romans never fought a dragon (probably) or a German warplane, but I do get what the movie was going for. That said… I really didn’t buy the ending part of this film. We have Indiana Jones, a man who over the course of his career has endured: Repeated head trauma - no problem Dragged by a truck - no problem Voodoo torture - no problem Burned - no problem Almost lost his heart - no problem Jumped out of a plane with no parachute and slammed into the side of a mountain in an inflatable raft - no problem More head trauma - no problem Shot multiple times in different places - no problem Caught in a literal nuclear explosion - no problem Bombed by allied bombers - no problem Hanged - no problem Choked - no problem Then: Shot in the shoulder - you guys gotta go on without me I’m gonna stay behind and die. It is my time. (Followed by more head trauma)
To be fair, most of those things happened to him when he was much younger and fitter. I definitely can see an 80-year old man, who endured all of that, get sidelined by a gunshot to the shoulder (after being through another few days of adventure and who knows how many minutes/hours of bloodloss due to that wound).
My immediate reaction soon as the credits rolled was numbness. Dial of Destiny is supposed to be a valedictory to Indiana Jones, but it comes off as soulless correspondent to the retirement party that his fellow faculty members throw for him, complete with a sheet cake
Hearing that alot of reshoots happened including the ending I think originally indie was meant to stay with arcemedes.. arcemedes hands him the dial and the watch and it seemed indie was about to have a sombre moment telling helena that he cant go back that he has to stay and convince arcemedes to destroy the dial urgo keeping the timeline correct in the sense that ultimately he knows it would never fall into the nazis hands. I think in the original ending the skeleton in arcemedes tomb was actually indie as he was given the watch back
That would've been both creepy and insulting if the original ending of Dial of Destiny showed Indiana Jones dying in Ancient Carthage-contolled Sicily than alive in final cut of the film, so yeah. I'm thankful it didn't happen by the time Dial of Destiny came out to public audiences. I give my Final Score of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny: 7.5/10
I was hoping that too and that all the traps to get to the tomb were from him and all his experiences, making it something that only he himself could figure out.
that wouldnt work because if indy destroyed it back in time then he would have never gotten it in the future to go back in time so technically it would have completly erased his existence and none of the stories from the previous movies never would have happened .
When the black female CIA agent came on screen I thought "oh no this is a fun charismatic character that respects Indy she's probably going to die so we have more time for fleabag Karen"
Independence works like a powerup for women, the more independent they feel the stronger they become so she must've channeled a lot of independence in that scene but all wahmen strong, smart and funny already.
Eh, it's a franchise where fucking Aliens beemed into a UFO and went to another dimension. At this point I'm done questioning things, Plus, Mary did her fair share of punching in the first film but I guess no one has a problem with it then
The “Spear of Destiny” or “Holy Lance” is ACTUALLY a thing and historically Hitler really was searching for it. It was supposed to gave the bearer fantastical powers and those who are purported to have had it were great leaders and politicians. So it actually makes more sense for the Spear of Destiny to be the macguffin that Nazis are searching for like the Arc and the chalice instead of a time traveling dial.
Plus, if they'd used the spear, then they could have a scene at the end where 80 year old Indy gets it and uses it to singlehandedly murder like a thousand Nazis. I mean, if they were trying to make a movie that was, like, fun or something.
I’m surprised they didn’t immediately can this when they had the original ending of Indy dying and Wombat taking up his mantle by doing every single iconic thing he did in the original trilogy while the iconic music plays (yes, that was an actual thing…)
Indiana Jones ended with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Indy and Marian and got married, reunited with his son, and lived happily ever after. Anything Indiana Jones NOT done by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg is non-canon.
I always found Crystal Skull perfectly watchable with some pretty cool scenes. I know a lot of people were pissed off at the aliens for some reason, but that never bothered me. I mean the ark of the covenant and the holy grail are real with real powers and Indian gods are also apparently real to some extent. Aliens really aren’t that far fetched and personally I think that the scene at the end where the UFO takes off is awesome
What a terrible conclusion to what should have been a massive tribute to Harrison Ford and All he’s done in movies..He’s someone who I’ve always admired and looked up to since I was a kid. Heartbreaking to see his legacy ended in this way with this film 😔
@@JohnnySnipshow Not at all..To those who don’t know me, I come off as grumpy and maybe not likable too..in the end who gives a f**k what people think??
My biggest issue with this movie honestly was the fact that they skip Indy’s famous fist fight scene that they do in every movie. I get that he’s old but they still could have done it. That was very frustrating. I still wouldn’t have liked this as much as the originals even with it, but seriously, how do you forget to include that?
They probably didn’t forget man like you said he’s old you don’t think they tried to do it but just couldn’t make it work? Would you really have wanted it regardless even if it meant cgi like the flash with Batman?
@@SinarBaru-bp4jx They wanted to tell a story where he goes on one last hoo-rah even though his age has caught up with him to see how different he is now compared to when he was younger.
Every movie that Kathleen Kennedy has done at Disney So there is the amazingly wonderfully brunette English woman and she inspires all the old bitter men
@@soulrebel6309 And both the movies sucked and are going to lose money, so I repeat what have you seen to say that nothing tangible outside of nostalgia bait and that means nothing.
Agree with the score. This was a bad movie, but ironically? The part about Hitler wanting the Spear that punctured Christs side? He was actually looking for it and some say he found it, because the "originals" in several places now have been carbon dated as fake after WW2. The history of Longinus’s spear, or lance, and it has long been attributed with supernatural powers. It was believed that whoever possessed it held the destiny of the world, for good or evil. Conflicting accounts trace its history with various saints or rulers, and its fame during medieval times was not unlike that of the Holy Grail. I would have been on board if it was a well written script about that, but this? God lol........
Another stupid point, was that when they were in the tunnel of all the bugs Indy was freaking out that he had bugs on him. In the originals he didn’t care unless they were snakes. Kinda annoyed tf outta me
Why didnt they just use the spear of christ as the main artefact... it makes sense to the indy films (raiders/last crusade) more supernatural then god damned science fiction. Its one of the reasons crystal skull didnt work.
No skull is a better movie… Indy was younger and more agile, less cranky Marion was along for the adventure…mutt was still alive and it had a happy ending. Nuff said
@@davidmichaelbabin1053 Indy wasn't that cranky in this one. He was way more cranky in Crystal Skull which was, i assume, to parallel how his dad was cranky with him in Last Crusade. If anything, Indy was super chilled out in his old age in this one.
Lol no. It's still the worst one or it's tied with the new movie. We gotta stop going back to older bad movies and all of sudden praising them because of reasons
I went to see what’s all the hype about. The moment that the actress said “what? Tall, beautiful and self sufficient” that moment I got up and left 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Voller wanted to go back to 1939 at the point of development on the V1 rocket as after working for NASA and getting them to the moon, he could of created rockets that would just destroy the EU/USA and win the war.
But WHY is he on the Plunder Train 1944? That point made 0 sense. He's in rockets, jets, bombs. 🚀 I'd have Indy as a OSS col going after Abner Ravenwood who's not dead but a Nazi prisoner. Hidden in a SS castle. Mac not Shaw could of been with Indy. Helena being Mac daughter is more believable than Shaw(who's not in any older IJ plot).
17:49 The reason why they go back to Syracuse is because they later learn that Archimedes designed the dial to time travel back to that specific point in time to get help from the future to fight off the Romans. The dial would have always taken people back to that time and it would never have worked to take people to 1939. Indy only mentioned continental drift to try and mess with the Nazi guy.
@@anubusx fair enough and personally for me I was fine with the time travel in that movie mostly because well that time travel did had consequences that did bite the avengers in the ass literally but that's just my opinion.
They probably killed off Mutt’s character because Shia spoke out saying he didn’t like Crystal Skull or the direction they were taking Indy. That’s why his career tanked for a while too
just as a history fan. Hitler actually DID steal the spear of destiny in world war 2. he had a fixation on the occult and thought it would make him invincible and "chosen by god"
They should've made the Spear of Longinus the main artifact, not only would it keep in theme with holy items like The Holy Grail and The Ark of the Covenant, but it would also make Mads' character invulnerable and crap, that would be kinda badass, but nope. Time Travel
There is an after credits scene! It cuts to Mutt being held in a Vietnamese prison camp and Mutt wakes up to Short Round sneaking in the camp to save him. Short Round says, "Don't worry! I'm a friend of your Dad's!" Cut to black. To be continued... *Indiana Jones theme song plays*
The climax to this movie is awful: Indy literally just sits around while Helena DOES EVERYTHING HERSELF. Indy does NOTHING. Not one thing! Helena is the one who saves the day, IN THE LAST INDIANA JONES MOVIE WE WILL EVER SEE WITH HARRISON FORD! WHAT. THE. FUCK.
My head cannon says Thē Flea Bag character falls off of the planet and succumbs to the vacume of space. The same type of vacume that exists between her ears.
I am a die hard Indiana Jones fan, and in the end I got what I wanted out of it. Mangold was never gonna please everyone, but it’s the best movie anyone that isn’t Steven Spielberg was ever gonna be able to make. All due respect, I heavily disagree here.
It's kinda telling that even Shia Labeouf somehow was self-concious enough to realize that he is not "next indy" material and they stopped going into that direction and now - 15 years later (holy shit) - they go into an even worse direction with an order of magnitude less likeable character. I am curious though if audiences really are that easy to please or if disney just pulled some strings in the back to get some asses in the seats during the opening weekend.
The worst part about having the opening be about the Spear of Destiny is that the spear is an actual artifact. The Nazis actually had it in WW2! And the mythical power about it is that whomever posses it will have the power to rule the world, so it would literally be the perfect artifact to center the movie about. Like all the past films, you could use a real artifact and still have Nazis since it’s historically tied to them. But no, they just made up a two thousand year old Time Machine.
Please allow Patrick to be in more videos, I really like his attitude and contribution. Even after other joe comes back, could you still bring in Patrick as a 4th musketeer. He brings a nice change of pace and character to your videos. Thanks Joe
"Antikytheria" is a small island off the southern coast of Greece, where the real-life calendar mechanism (orrery) was found at sea. The highly advanced mechanism was built around a 'planetary gear system' designed to track and display the movement of celestial bodies over a 'Great Year', 25.800 years, one rotation of the solar system as a whole, one cycle of the equinoxes around the ecliptic.
Shia will have a career hero arc and be in a few movies in a row where he'll be considered ''so hot right now'' again and then bam! Mutt will be right back in the franchise with another god awful time traveling device
@@johnc8199 All it really takes is either be a 2nd lead in a big budget box office hit or 1st lead in a well written Oscar worthy movie and any actor/actress can be brought back to life
My favorite part is when they show a map with the travel direction (to Sicily if I recall), and on the map is written "1977"...The film takes place in 1969. At his point even the editors were "Fuck it, just release whatever we have."
You see the watch in Indy’s room at the end, along with the Dial, so he must have given them the watch, because Helena’s whole thing was you can’t stay here, because it will change history, so she would have made sure she could take what she could.
The Mutt thing is kinda interesting, a bit like Jason Todd Robin situation. The audience didn't like them, so they killed them. If you notice, Mutt's portrait is next to Sean Connery's in the first 1969 scene. But, the Archimedes scene was indeed a disbelief killer.
@@Neo-Vandole You're arguing apples and oranges. You're arguing a fictional plot against real life circumstances surrounding the production of the film. The writing reflects the real life circumstances and putting Indy in the 1960s. Kids and young adults was a real issue with Vietnam. Story wise, anything can happen in 15 years. It's really funny. People didn't cling to Mutt in 2008, and generally hated Crystal Skull, now, out of nowhere, people are clamoring for Mutt? How dare writers try to add a little depth to Indy over the years. I certainly didn't care for Helena as a character or care for the chick that had the role, but we can't just default to Mutt because we didn't like her. We all know why Shia wasn't cast, he seemed to have kind of gone nuts, and yes, the writing reflects that, because of the circumstances surrounding film production.
As a Greek, I can confirm that we did indeed discover time travel. Thanks Archimedes, you made us proud! 🇬🇷

George got played, and had to pick Kennedy from what I remember.

And if Sallah was with them, too, I would have been willing to forgive everything else the movie does. But no, we got the Mary Sue and her excruciatingly annoying sidekick.
What I hope actually happened was what AJ said, maybe he saw the script and said fuck this shit and didn't want anything to do with the movie.
Man, that would have been a golden opportunity
Also with the loss of Mutt, his actual blood son. It would’ve been cool for Indy to have that 2nd chance at a fatherly role. But no we have to have have a dislikable god daughter!
I'll say this about Crystal skull: It had genuine ambition from George and Spielberg decided to pitch in (regardless of interest). It had an ending that was a good sendoff of Indy and showed us there would be no second person to take his place. This has no ambition and was made via scrapbooking (they come up with multiple endings and see which is best for test audiences). This was 100% soulless from the start.
Crystal Skull could have actually been a good movie if they didn’t rely so much on CGI. Harrison Ford was about a decade too old for the role in that film but he still looks good. If Crystal skull came out in the late 90s, I think it would have been a good movie
It's hard, id have to re watch it.
From memory his son was just to much of a pain, if he had been toned down a bit I think id have liked it more. Also the old people romance was to much for me, not a fan of the ending.
@@liaminwales You should definitely rewatch it. I rewatched it this week and his son, Mutt, actually wasn't that bad. He has a tough guy facade in the first like 15 to 30 minutes of the film because he's a greaser but once he sees Indy kicks ass and they bond he drops all of that.
@@jase276 Shia LaBeouf is the problem now. I don't think he can be invited back for Disney due to his abuse issues. It's a similar thing to Ezra Miller right now. It's very hard to watch them work without picturing their victims, and it takes me out of the movie wondering how their victims are reacting to their perpetrator's success. It's one of the least "entertaining" thing on Earth, like participating in the problem.
They definitely filmed different endings because the final ending feels tacked on and doesn't work, like why would they think her punching Indys lights out and waking up at home be good?It's like you go to grab your toothpaste and the cap is from a ketchup bottle.
Hilariously Archimedes was actually fascinated by water displacement, he was the first to record the concept of a screw pump, commonly known as an “Archimedes screw”
It’s almost like a professor of archaeology would have a pretty good working knowledge of archimedes compared to 3 randos who can barely pay attention to a movie.
True, even if the water displacement puzzle in the movie was kinda crap tho..
Archimedes Principle literally is about water (buoyancy). That's one of the most basic things taught in physics classes.
@@akmal94ibrahim Really? Then I must have had a shitty physics AND history teacher, cuz if I'd ever been taught that you can bet your ass I would have listened.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the fact that he was framed for murder earlier in the movie only to never be mentioned again throughout the movie. 😂
Obvisouly you were too dumb to pay attention in the movie. He explicitly says that he needs to find his goddaughter because she can prove he’s innocent. That’s why he goes on the trip to begin with.
I may have missed it, but what happened to the bag of diamonds Helena had a held of?
Yeah! Lol. After Helena’s time-travelling punch knocked him back in to the future, it should’ve faded to him in jail!😂😂😂
Nah, it's all fine, Helena already called the President after she called Marion 😅
@@TheDFaiz I can’t believe they would just bring that up only for it to go nowhere. Do these filmmakers actually see the movie they are making when it’s done? This movie has plot holes galore. Even the de-aging sequence was only done half way. You make Harrison young but his voice is clearly old man Ford 😂
This movie is a product of just Disney having the IP and wanting to get their money’s worth, nothing more nothing less.
Im so sick of Disney destroying every franchise it touches
Well recognize as long as people support democrats and liberals we are going to continue to have this bs pushed upon us.
Same, Disney has ruined everything now.
Least we still got the originals
Sure, it's Disney and not Wokeness that is to blame. 😂
@luisochoa576 what is wokeness can you please define it for me?
@christiandegn1848 Wokeness is not one ideology but a collection of far left identitarian ideologies. The 3 pillars of wokeness are: 4th wave feminism, gender theory and critical race theory.
Well this definition isn't perfect because it's a little more complicated than that. For example Game of Thrones was arguably very feminist but it wasn't considered woke. And some say that Matrix was an allegory of transgenderism but no one says Matrix was woke. So to be considered woke you need something more than just feminism or gender / race stuff. The missing ingredient is a certain arrogance and preachyness. A certain religious authoritarianism. This becomes very obvious for example when the writers or director starts insulting fans and calling them sexist, racist and transphobes. When that happens you know for sure it's woke trash. 😂
As we know this happened in the case of Ghostbusters 2016, Star Wars, Rings of Power, Witcher, Miss Marvel, Batgirl, She Hulk, Terminator, James Bond, Little Mermaid, and so many more franchises. "If you don't like it it's because you hate women, lgbtq and/or black people" is the cry of the woketoid who doesn't understand that characters need to be more than just a gender or a race. They're very similar to nazis in this sense, and that's why they're so universally hated.
You know who would of made for a really good sidekick this movie. Not Hellen, but a proper grown up Shortround.
The kids come along way in his career and actually getting to see a older and more mature Shortround working alongside Indy again, showing some of the stuff he learned and even having that enjoyable banter back and forth about old times.
And what’s better… if you wanted to continue the franchise… he’s kind of the best chance for it and if you write him a nice and enjoyable character who is competent enough to work alongside Indy that by the end you would trust him like Indy did, there you go.
And better, he’d make a good character for exploring more Asian based adventures or religions and their mystic relics/artefacts.
I guess they didn't expect Everything Everywhere All At Once to pop off like it did otherwise they would've added him in. At least we got to see them together on stage at The Oscars
Missed opportunity. Ke should have been in this film. I'd have rather waited a few months to see Shortround and Henry Jones Jr share scenes again. The Oscar's are the closest thing for sure.
I would love short round being the next adventurer. Obviously he wouldn’t be called Indiana, probably something cool though, with Indiana Jones being his mentor figure who’s old and wise. Short round earned it, unlike copy/pasted female empowerment character, and it respects Indiana Jones’s character.
It would’ve been so great if it was Indy, Short round, and Mutt having one last adventure with the family dynamic and then ending the film with Short Round and Mutt going off on their own adventures after Indy finally retires. Hell if they wanted to Kill Mutt, short round would’ve been a better person for Indy to have in this film because he was basically another son that could’ve consoled him with his grief.
@@tallerwarrior1256 Yeah I like that idea. Disney just likes killing off characters. This is the second Harrison ford's character had been divorced.
The fact Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is better says EVERYTHING!!
This is the difference between star wars prequels Vs sequels. One has problems but has the spirit. The other has an overall theming issue
Hmmmmm I think you might be right, and that might be a good microcosm of a metric to look at this through. We didn't exactly get a trilogy, but you could absolutely say that Crystal skull was the prequel era movie and this one is the sequel era.
Nope! Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is still horrible!
Suddenly aliens and swinging with monkeys isn’t that bad.
Kathleen Kennedy really is obsessed with putting a fantasy version of herself in all these movies and making the "strong female character" better then old character we all came to see

The woman in the film wasn't better than Indy, though. It's like literally every other sidekick Indy has had in the films
What? I just left the movie & didn't get that impression at Indy. Indy was the coolest thing about the movie & as someone who never really watched any of the old films, I can say I may be a new fan.
I really enjoyed this film & Indy was great from beginning to end.
@@atlien1988 "as someone who never really watched any of the old films"
You should watch the old trilogy!
She knocks him out, throws him in a plane, travels through time, comes back to Italy 1960, traveled to USA, (he’s still wanted for murder), takes him home, calls his wife and friend(she has the numbers?) and THEN he wakes up? How long was he punched out? A month?
Hahahaha I mean he is like 85yrs old this movie sounds so funny
This is way too funny
Sounds like he was in a Coma!
Had to be a coma
This was the result of the alleged reshoots. Rumors claim that the movie was originally going to end with Indy being killed off.
Why was Helena able to attend (and take a leading role in) a black market auction being held in the hotel of a mob boss who wants to kill her? How was she allowed to enter? Didn't any of the mob boss's guys notice that the woman you ordered a hit on is leading an auction in your hotel? Also, why was the only security for this high-roller illegal auction a 12-year old kid (Teddy)? Indy was able to walk right in past Teddy, so were Voller and his men. Not very good security for an event with high-roller criminals at it. Also, when Indy was in the artifact storage room of his college, he pushed over a bunch of shelves full of artifacts. You can hear them shattering as the shelves topple. Indy has risked his life many times to recover artifacts like these. Seemed odd that he'd be willing to destroy a ton of them like that.
Why does an adult female travel around with a 12 year old? Is she grooming him? Does she pimp him out?
She paid off the cops, who are there as security
@@clottadams5028what a stupid question, did you ask the same of Indiana Jones amd Short Round?

Time travel really should be avoided in most stories. The more you get into time travel and try explain it the more the story tends to break down.
The only time that time travel is good is if the movie is specifically made about it, like back to the future
Yeah. Unless the movie is written by a theoretical physicist, it might be better to just not.
@@My_trashtalking_account- I agree. I think somebody like Christopher Nolan could handle it. He actually puts a lot of love & care into every movie he makes. He does research, talks to specialists in whatever field his movie pertains to, etc. He takes his time & isn't interested in making cash grabs just to make the studios happy. Even his Batman movies are arguably some of the best comic books movies ever made. I feel like he could tackle Time Travel really well.
@@My_trashtalking_account If you are a really talented writer it's possible. If you have to it's better to barely touch on it like the first Terminator, its was really just a plot device in that to set up the story they didnt try to explain how it was done or get into paradoxes too much
Primer did it perfectly
I remember watching the first three movies with my grandmother all the time when I spent the night at her house on the weekends. We watched Kingdom of the Crystal Skull once and both agreed never again. She would be beside herself if she were still around to see Dial of Destiny. Another franchise I cherish, ruined.
Real cute story about watching it with your grandmother. I'm sure she wod have loved to talk crap about this awful film with you lol
Try Crystal Skull again after Dial of Destiny, I still maintain that the first 45 minutes to an hour are really fun. Once Indy says “Part time”, either turn it off or accept that the rest of the movie is nonsense. Spielberg directed it really well despite the script,
So we have them basically retreading material covered earlier, then utterly retconning the character development and relationship of the previous film...sounds about right for Lucasarts and Disney these days...
Yes, Alex, there was a clip in the trailer of Indy and Wombat using a prod of some sort to move a giant rolling bolder that looked like a nod to Raiders that was removed from the final film.
Dadgum, I'd like to see that segment. :)
0:28 it's called "The Lance of Longinus"
There are no less than 4 artifacts claimed to be the spear that pierced the side of Jesus on the Cross, all of which are entirely too ornate to be a standard issue spear for a Roman Legionary.
It could have been reforged and consecrated to reflect its divine nature, but we'll never know since the church largely purged all recorded history before 800 AD.
Isn't also the joke at the end of Crusade? all the obvious overly ornate cup for what was the drinking vessle of a poor humble man?
@@Ironman1o1 yes but I meant IRL
i think this makes it clear they didn't even want to like the movie. Raiders and crusade both had the nazis looking for christian artefacts and this is also a famous christian artefact that it makes sense that the nazis are looking for. Yet they wanna make it seem so dumb.
@Slimey_garbage_troll yeah.. that is if Jesus was a real person.
8:53 To address how the bad guys knew where Indy was going. Mads Mikkelsen’s character knew that Archimedes only lived in two places. If Indy wasn’t going to Alexandria, then Syracuse was the only other place he would have gone.
17:49 I get what the writers were going for. There are some sources from the Punic Wars that talk about a Roman general named Regulus who claimed to have fought a dragon in North Africa. They probably used that and decided to have it happen during the invasion of Syracuse instead. Obviously, the Romans never fought a dragon (probably) or a German warplane, but I do get what the movie was going for. That said… I really didn’t buy the ending part of this film. We have Indiana Jones, a man who over the course of his career has endured:
Repeated head trauma - no problem
Dragged by a truck - no problem
Voodoo torture - no problem
Burned - no problem
Almost lost his heart - no problem
Jumped out of a plane with no parachute and slammed into the side of a mountain in an inflatable raft - no problem
More head trauma - no problem
Shot multiple times in different places - no problem
Caught in a literal nuclear explosion - no problem
Bombed by allied bombers - no problem
Hanged - no problem
Choked - no problem
Then:
Shot in the shoulder - you guys gotta go on without me I’m gonna stay behind and die. It is my time. (Followed by more head trauma)
To be fair, most of those things happened to him when he was much younger and fitter. I definitely can see an 80-year old man, who endured all of that, get sidelined by a gunshot to the shoulder (after being through another few days of adventure and who knows how many minutes/hours of bloodloss due to that wound).
My immediate reaction soon as the credits rolled was numbness. Dial of Destiny is supposed to be a valedictory to Indiana Jones, but it comes off as soulless correspondent to the retirement party that his fellow faculty members throw for him, complete with a sheet cake
I had the same feeling right after watching “The Last Jedi”
You really tried to make this comment sound as intelligent as possible
@@nonstopperAnd the point of your comment is?
@@jlev1028 and your point of your comment pointing out the point of my comment is ?
Copypasta from rotten tomatoes lol.
Hearing that alot of reshoots happened including the ending I think originally indie was meant to stay with arcemedes.. arcemedes hands him the dial and the watch and it seemed indie was about to have a sombre moment telling helena that he cant go back that he has to stay and convince arcemedes to destroy the dial urgo keeping the timeline correct in the sense that ultimately he knows it would never fall into the nazis hands. I think in the original ending the skeleton in arcemedes tomb was actually indie as he was given the watch back
That would've been both creepy and insulting if the original ending of Dial of Destiny showed Indiana Jones dying in Ancient Carthage-contolled Sicily than alive in final cut of the film, so yeah. I'm thankful it didn't happen by the time Dial of Destiny came out to public audiences. I give my Final Score of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny: 7.5/10
I was hoping that too and that all the traps to get to the tomb were from him and all his experiences, making it something that only he himself could figure out.
that wouldnt work because if indy destroyed it back in time then he would have never gotten it in the future to go back in time so technically it would have completly erased his existence and none of the stories from the previous movies never would have happened .
@@fullmetalsasquach8229 When I say destroy I mean dismantle it like it was so that the cycle continues in every timeline
They ressurected this franchise just to kill again,poor Indi got the Saints Row reboot treatment.
Oh please, resurection implies that it came back to life, they merely stuck some wires and sticks into a corpse and puppeteered it around
When the black female CIA agent came on screen I thought "oh no this is a fun charismatic character that respects Indy she's probably going to die so we have more time for fleabag Karen"
Why have a character wounded 🩼 for no clear reason then kill him 5min later. 😒 Indy kills the CIA guy in directly. Not a murder.

Independence works like a powerup for women, the more independent they feel the stronger they become so she must've channeled a lot of independence in that scene but all wahmen strong, smart and funny already.
Eh, it's a franchise where fucking Aliens beemed into a UFO and went to another dimension. At this point I'm done questioning things, Plus, Mary did her fair share of punching in the first film but I guess no one has a problem with it then
Yeah man this only happens in fantasy, the reality is very different! just go and ask the US women soccer team lol
Clearly, you haven't met my ex-wife.
The “Spear of Destiny” or “Holy Lance” is ACTUALLY a thing and historically Hitler really was searching for it. It was supposed to gave the bearer fantastical powers and those who are purported to have had it were great leaders and politicians. So it actually makes more sense for the Spear of Destiny to be the macguffin that Nazis are searching for like the Arc and the chalice instead of a time traveling dial.
@davidvanwell2071Cause the writers are dumb thats why lol
@davidvanwell2071 That would require competency.
Plus, if they'd used the spear, then they could have a scene at the end where 80 year old Indy gets it and uses it to singlehandedly murder like a thousand Nazis.
I mean, if they were trying to make a movie that was, like, fun or something.
The Spear of Destiny has DESTINY in its name! Why was the movie not about this??
Theories about Nazi voodoo treasures = 99999
Factual evidence of Nazi voodoo treasures = -1
I’m surprised they didn’t immediately can this when they had the original ending of Indy dying and Wombat taking up his mantle by doing every single iconic thing he did in the original trilogy while the iconic music plays (yes, that was an actual thing…)
No, no that really wasn't a thing.
How in the hell could you believe that bullshit?
Indiana Jones ended with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Indy and Marian and got married, reunited with his son, and lived happily ever after.
Anything Indiana Jones NOT done by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg is non-canon.
7:10 "we want old Indy"
Truer words have never been spoken
This was the funniest banter I have listened to in a long time.
I always found Crystal Skull perfectly watchable with some pretty cool scenes. I know a lot of people were pissed off at the aliens for some reason, but that never bothered me. I mean the ark of the covenant and the holy grail are real with real powers and Indian gods are also apparently real to some extent. Aliens really aren’t that far fetched and personally I think that the scene at the end where the UFO takes off is awesome
At least Crystal Skull respected Indy unlike this trash.

Not on a "Rise of Skywalker" Level, but this whole movie felt so unspectacular.

Nothing could be as bad as "Rise of Skywalker". Nothing.
"Dont think, dont question, just consume product and then get excited for next product"
Archimedes was famous for measuring buoyancy, that's why his tomb had that little puzzle.
There was a scene in the trailer where Indy and Helena were tricking a boulder but cut from the film because they changed the ending.
yeah, why did they remove that?
How did they trick the boulder
My biggest issue with this movie honestly was the fact that they skip Indy’s famous fist fight scene that they do in every movie. I get that he’s old but they still could have done it. That was very frustrating. I still wouldn’t have liked this as much as the originals even with it, but seriously, how do you forget to include that?
They probably didn’t forget man like you said he’s old you don’t think they tried to do it but just couldn’t make it work? Would you really have wanted it regardless even if it meant cgi like the flash with Batman?
@@yuro5833 He was punching people through-out this movie. They could’ve done it.
So why they still want to make indiana jones 5 if they know the actor was getting to old for that?!
@@SinarBaru-bp4jx They wanted to tell a story where he goes on one last hoo-rah even though his age has caught up with him to see how different he is now compared to when he was younger.

Agree with the score. This was a bad movie, but ironically? The part about Hitler wanting the Spear that punctured Christs side? He was actually looking for it and some say he found it, because the "originals" in several places now have been carbon dated as fake after WW2. The history of Longinus’s spear, or lance, and it has long been attributed with supernatural powers. It was believed that whoever possessed it held the destiny of the world, for good or evil. Conflicting accounts trace its history with various saints or rulers, and its fame during medieval times was not unlike that of the Holy Grail. I would have been on board if it was a well written script about that, but this? God lol........
Thank you for making this and saving me from having to afflict myself with this disease of a movie.

Why didnt they just use the spear of christ as the main artefact... it makes sense to the indy films (raiders/last crusade) more supernatural then god damned science fiction. Its one of the reasons crystal skull didnt work.
Agreed. But that would have required better thought put into this movie than what we ultimately got.

@@davidmichaelbabin1053 Indy wasn't that cranky in this one. He was way more cranky in Crystal Skull which was, i assume, to parallel how his dad was cranky with him in Last Crusade. If anything, Indy was super chilled out in his old age in this one.
Lol no. It's still the worst one or it's tied with the new movie. We gotta stop going back to older bad movies and all of sudden praising them because of reasons
I went to see what’s all the hype about. The moment that the actress said “what? Tall, beautiful and self sufficient” that moment I got up and left 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Same 😮💨
hype? There was zero hype about the movie
Yeah that was one cringe ass narcissistic line.
Voller wanted to go back to 1939 at the point of development on the V1 rocket as after working for NASA and getting them to the moon, he could of created rockets that would just destroy the EU/USA and win the war.
But WHY is he on the Plunder Train 1944? That point made 0 sense. He's in rockets, jets, bombs. 🚀 I'd have Indy as a OSS col going after Abner Ravenwood who's not dead but a Nazi prisoner. Hidden in a SS castle. Mac not Shaw could of been with Indy. Helena being Mac daughter is more believable than Shaw(who's not in any older IJ plot).
clearly mads had been studying the documentary series Red Alert when he found inspiration for his plan
17:49 The reason why they go back to Syracuse is because they later learn that Archimedes designed the dial to time travel back to that specific point in time to get help from the future to fight off the Romans. The dial would have always taken people back to that time and it would never have worked to take people to 1939. Indy only mentioned continental drift to try and mess with the Nazi guy.
Yeah I’m surprised they didn’t catch that
Well Im so excited to see....all the empty theaters over the holiday weekend

Indy probably regrets he didn’t take a peek at the ark when it opened.
They probably killed off Mutt’s character because Shia spoke out saying he didn’t like Crystal Skull or the direction they were taking Indy. That’s why his career tanked for a while too
Shia also had some other controversies like domestic abuse or something too
Or that breakdown because the internet found his flags.
just as a history fan. Hitler actually DID steal the spear of destiny in world war 2. he had a fixation on the occult and thought it would make him invincible and "chosen by god"
Another thing, what happened to Indy being wanted for murder? Lmao like that just settled on it’s own?
Writers 2-4 didn’t deem it necessary
I don't get this gripe. Indy said "without Helena or the dial, I'll be framed for murder". And then he came back with both. What's the issue?
I can’t believe Indy didn’t say, ‘Eureka’ after solving the water displacement puzzle. That genuinely subverted expectation!😂

They should've made the Spear of Longinus the main artifact, not only would it keep in theme with holy items like The Holy Grail and The Ark of the Covenant, but it would also make Mads' character invulnerable and crap, that would be kinda badass, but nope. Time Travel
There is an after credits scene! It cuts to Mutt being held in a Vietnamese prison camp and Mutt wakes up to Short Round sneaking in the camp to save him. Short Round says, "Don't worry! I'm a friend of your Dad's!" Cut to black. To be continued... *Indiana Jones theme song plays*
If only, it could have redeemed the film slightly lol
would of been good , i actually like shia in the majority of his movies
Well now I’m sad
I'm down for a good "escape from Vietnam" movie starring Ke Huy Quan and Shia LeBeouf instead of whatever we got for Dial of Destiny.
@@jamesford4815I'm pretty sure Shia is unofficially blacklisted from Hollywood due to his recent unhinged downward spiral.
The climax to this movie is awful: Indy literally just sits around while Helena DOES EVERYTHING HERSELF. Indy does NOTHING. Not one thing! Helena is the one who saves the day, IN THE LAST INDIANA JONES MOVIE WE WILL EVER SEE WITH HARRISON FORD!
WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.
The commitment to calling the portal “the butthole” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My head cannon says Thē Flea Bag character falls off of the planet and succumbs to the vacume of space. The same type of vacume that exists between her ears.
So basically turned Indiana Jones into Harrison Ford. Great!
Maybe it’s a crossover with another Spielberg’s movies and Mutt died alongside Bubba in Vietnam. Forest just couldn’t save either of them.
I am a die hard Indiana Jones fan, and in the end I got what I wanted out of it. Mangold was never gonna please everyone, but it’s the best movie anyone that isn’t Steven Spielberg was ever gonna be able to make. All due respect, I heavily disagree here.
It's kinda telling that even Shia Labeouf somehow was self-concious enough to realize that he is not "next indy" material and they stopped going into that direction and now - 15 years later (holy shit) - they go into an even worse direction with an order of magnitude less likeable character.
I am curious though if audiences really are that easy to please or if disney just pulled some strings in the back to get some asses in the seats during the opening weekend.
The worst part about having the opening be about the Spear of Destiny is that the spear is an actual artifact. The Nazis actually had it in WW2! And the mythical power about it is that whomever posses it will have the power to rule the world, so it would literally be the perfect artifact to center the movie about. Like all the past films, you could use a real artifact and still have Nazis since it’s historically tied to them. But no, they just made up a two thousand year old Time Machine.
The Antikythera is a real artifact, and it really is a piece of ancient technology that baffled historians
Well, I guess "Dial of Destiny" should've been retitled "Spear of Destiny" with a new plot then. :)
Alex was right there was some trailer scene with a giant boulder comes crashing down but doesn’t chase them. I remember seeing it
Please allow Patrick to be in more videos, I really like his attitude and contribution. Even after other joe comes back, could you still bring in Patrick as a 4th musketeer. He brings a nice change of pace and character to your videos. Thanks Joe
BTW, the first section of the movie is LITERALLY the plot of Wolfenstein 3D's Spear of Destiny expansion.
I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time watching a review 😂
"Antikytheria" is a small island off the southern coast of Greece, where the real-life calendar mechanism (orrery) was found at sea. The highly advanced mechanism was built around a 'planetary gear system' designed to track and display the movement of celestial bodies over a 'Great Year', 25.800 years, one rotation of the solar system as a whole, one cycle of the equinoxes around the ecliptic.
Disney has ruined another one of my childhood movie franchise. Thanks for that.
The Syracuse boat scene was the same setup as the beach scene in Last Jedi when they park the ship on the sand in front of the casino...
Shia will have a career hero arc and be in a few movies in a row where he'll be considered ''so hot right now'' again and then bam! Mutt will be right back in the franchise with another god awful time traveling device
I was thinking the same thing. Bro is gonna be the biggest movie star of all time lol
Better 'Shia' than 'PhleaBag'
@@johnc8199 All it really takes is either be a 2nd lead in a big budget box office hit or 1st lead in a well written Oscar worthy movie and any actor/actress can be brought back to life
Shia LeBeouf > Pheobe Waller-Bridge
My favorite part is when they show a map with the travel direction (to Sicily if I recall), and on the map is written "1977"...The film takes place in 1969. At his point even the editors were "Fuck it, just release whatever we have."
This is your funniest movie review of all time for me I’m constantly laughing hahaha
You see the watch in Indy’s room at the end, along with the Dial, so he must have given them the watch, because Helena’s whole thing was you can’t stay here, because it will change history, so she would have made sure she could take what she could.
Somehow indy punches out a nazi while surrounded by nazi's without any of them noticing.
The Mutt thing is kinda interesting, a bit like Jason Todd Robin situation. The audience didn't like them, so they killed them. If you notice, Mutt's portrait is next to Sean Connery's in the first 1969 scene. But, the Archimedes scene was indeed a disbelief killer.
Don’t care about spoilers, I’m not paying to see another Indiana disaster
For me, the Indiana Jones movies started with Raiders Of The Lost Ark and ended after The Last Crusade.
What's your name?
Helena Skywalker
11:04 look how Alex longing looks at Joe!!! LMAO Somebody loves their Life and Job (Dare I say Boss?)
Alex in the thumbnail says everything about the movie.
Mutt going to Vietnam and dying was the riff between Indy and Marion.
@@Neo-Vandole You're arguing apples and oranges. You're arguing a fictional plot against real life circumstances surrounding the production of the film. The writing reflects the real life circumstances and putting Indy in the 1960s. Kids and young adults was a real issue with Vietnam. Story wise, anything can happen in 15 years. It's really funny. People didn't cling to Mutt in 2008, and generally hated Crystal Skull, now, out of nowhere, people are clamoring for Mutt? How dare writers try to add a little depth to Indy over the years. I certainly didn't care for Helena as a character or care for the chick that had the role, but we can't just default to Mutt because we didn't like her. We all know why Shia wasn't cast, he seemed to have kind of gone nuts, and yes, the writing reflects that, because of the circumstances surrounding film production.
