Saw the movie today and she was fine. Her character evolves over the course of the movie ie. her character is more likable in later scenes vs earlier scenes when she is more cynical and self interested.
Ghostbusters (2016) remake, anyone? THAT one? That joyless, joke-free, 'hilarious' one? The one with 4 (aye - FOUR) eh, sassy, strong, "hilarious" ('cause they said so), empowered wimmen? It was HILARIOUS! Because they told us. About as hilarious as a childs funeral. Yikes!
The vast majority of women hate feminism because it demands that they become something they do not want to be. My Mum detested it, as does my wife and my daughter. It's the same almost everywhere but of course the empty vessels make the most noise.
Women can spot misandry just as well as misogyny. Misandry is far worse than misogyny in my opinion. It’s dangerous. You need both the left and the right wings to fly.
It's nice finding a woman who is a realist and not another weirdo who spends way too much time in the festering bowels of the internet and social media.
That face punch knocked him out long enough for him to be dragged onto the plane, dragged back through time, dragged back to the US, stuck in his apartment, his murder charges cleared and his marriage fixed.
I don't even watch new, mainstream movies anymore. I just wait for film essays on TH-cam to give me all the ends and outs of how bad they are so I don't have to waste my money lol. Needless to say I've saved close to $300 this year because of these videos and I'm eternally grateful
Ditto. If I hear something is awesome, then I’ll shell out. It’s crazy to pay theatre prices for the drivel coming out lately just because it’s “there.”
This movie shows why people like old Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond, Old Logan in Logan, and old Charles Xavier in Logan. They were past their respective primes, but still carried a grace and dignity about themselves. It was interesting to see their interaction with the younger generations while playing prominent roles that worked with their current capabilities.
@@NGRevenantyep. Dial of Destiny makes Crystal Skull look good. And the defiling that Lucas and Spielberg did to their own creation looks PG compared to the rape Kathleen Kennedy has done!
That's the main problem. Mangold did Logan (as well as a history of solid films) AND Dial of Destiny. However, he sold out his soul to Kathleen Kennedy's Lucasfilm in destroying Indy.
I saw Indy get hurt, punched, lynched, shot in this film many of times. While his horse faced co-star never broke a nail, while jumping from car to car, from motorcycle to plane, deep diving, rock climbing, jumping buildings in heels etc. This lady was invincible to any adversity. She was knocking men out, with one punch. It's absurd, because she's omniscient and all powerful. I'm not sure why she needed cash so bad, because the way she's written all she needed to do was pick a few stocks and it would have made her the world's richest person. I do agree that Fleabag is an accurate description of this person though.
Interesting description Ralph - "....horse faced co-star....", considering the script obviously shot out of the south end of a northbound horse (yep, I just nicked that one from Quigley Down Under - now THAT'S still a great flick, time to rewatch, methinks).
The female characters fight scene in Extraction 2 is brutal and honest. That character perfectly compliments her male counterpart without diminishing him.
Extraction 2 was much more believable. For the most part, women can't fight like men. They have to adapt to a fighting style to suit their smaller, lighter builds. 120 pound woman can't produce blunt-force trauma with her punches on a 250 pound man. They can beat a man that size with speed, agility, guns, knives, or improvise with an object.
I thought that Extraction 2 ruined Nik Khan, the female lead, who had a perfect ending in the first film. Extraction was a near perfect action flick, the second seemed like a rejected script from the Fast & Furious franchise.
Last Crusade was one of the last movies I went to see with my dad given his health. I was 13 at the time and it really blew our minds. Skip ahead In time I took my little boys to see the Crystal Skull. I thought it was cheezy but ok, while my oldest son demanded I let him stay and watch when I had to take his little brother to the bathroom several times, which I made him come with us. In 2017 I took them both to see the Last Jedi and my oldest who was 12 or so by then said it wasn't a movie for him. A few days ago I jokingly asked my oldest who is now a UCI student if he wanted to see Indy 5 and he looked at me and said "no," this is where Lucasfilm now stands. Was it worth it for them?
I have Seen all of indys movies and "Cristal Skull" was an "ok" movie. It was not the "disaster" many say. COMPARED with the 3 previous ones OF COURSE that it would look "no so good" because Indy is older and cant to many of stuff he did when he was younger without it looking "false" but at least THAT MOVIE WAS RESPECTUL to and older Indy, BUT HE STILL KICK 4SS AND IS WITTY AND HAVE A STRONG WILL, IS BRAVE he keeps being INDY. Yes, it gives him "a chessy" but NICE "happy ending" for an older guy: a happy family to spent the rest of his days and raise him to a better professional position at his work(they make his an associate of the university). Meaning a promising family future with a good payment for his older days. The end. I WILL TAKE THAT AS THE END OF INDY ANY DAY OF THE WEEK , instead of this 5TH MOVIES THAT IS A DISRESPECTUL DESTROY OF THE CHARACTER we love. The guy we see in this 5th movie IS NOT INDY AT ALL. ITS OLD HARRISON FORD MAKING MONEY FOR A PAYCHECK, BUT NOT INDY. He doesnt play Indy in the entire movie. So for me Cristal skull was the not perfect but "ok" end for INDY. The 5th movie is a pile of S*it
I was a student at UCLA and remember seeing the original 1981 film with some fraternity brothers in Westwood Village. My own kids (a bit older than your son) have zero interest in this film -- BAD NEWS for Disney
Agree! I also went to see TLC with my dad, and he was a Bond/Connery fan, so it made it extra special. The Last Jedi was the first ruining of one of my childhood heroes. This movie was the ruining of my other childhood hero. I just pray KK doesn't get her hands on Rocky!
@@multiversehacking Yeah the Last Jedi really screwed things, but that was the point. KK and her crew didn't want kids like my sons to be part of the Star Wars fan base, let alone middle aged guys like us.
A strong woman is someone who is confident in who they are and has compassion for others. A mother, ceo, janitor, etc it doesn’t matter. Nowadays a strong woman is a miserable single person who makes good money lol
Ugh I pray they never touch this franchise again. It's incredibly odd to not only now feel Crystal Skull is a decent movie, but to actually miss Mutt Williams.

I can't believe they missed out on the chance for Indy to reconnect with Short Round as a surrogate son to heal the wound of losing a son. It would have been so powerful and moving. Short Round could have taken up the Indy mantle easily.
A lot of nitpicking here to miss the major point of the movie. This movie isn’t about the chase for the MacGuffin. Indy has become old. That happens to people. The world has passed him by. His students aren’t enthusiastic for his class or him, and even that thankless job has come to an end. His son is dead. His wife has left him. He is alone. He is in despair. He doesn’t want this last adventure. He is conned into it by a woman who, Heaven forbid, is independent and self confident. And yes, implausible things happen - as if the events of the other films made perfect sense. But remarkably, in the end, Indy comes home to the end of his quest at home to old friends at peace with himself…his adventures concluded. It was a formulaic movie with chases and fights because the audience expected them to be there, but it was also, for those who looked a little closer, a touching story of a career at its end and the fitting end of the saga.
Helena is just a greedy drunk that the movie then tries to show development into caring for Indy...I mean what a perfect person to pass the torch to...She is totaly unworthy of taking on the mantle of Indiana Jones.
Gosh Helena’s awful. But Damn I forgot they made Indie’s old love interest smack him? With force too! This is unrelated but damn that trope is hopefully dying out 😅.
Can you tell Helena is a self insert? Oh Hollywood, your so shallow and self indulged. Maybe when the movie industry finally goes bankrupt we can start over with better people involved.

What did you guys think of Indiana Jones 5? Let me know in the comments below, and Happy Independence Day to my American friends! 🥳 Much love to you all and see you in a few weeks for Barbie! 💕 PS - Memberships are live 🎉
My mind is blown to consider that what we got was after numerous rewrites, reshoots and the removal of what was perceived as Waller-Bridge's worst put downs of Indi - so this final product is improved... from what, we can barely imagine. What a waste of time and money.
The only winner here is Harrison Ford, he's "retiring" but like wrestlers of old, once he gets a juicy contract he comes back because he knows fans are crazy and wants to always see him even though it doesn't make sense
In a sane world, they’d just recast Indiana Jones with a younger charismatic actor (like Ryan Gosling), and make a kickass adventure story - and drown in billions of dollars of profit.
I hate what Disney’s doing with these so-called “strong” female characters, and I’m a feminist. They have a really scuffed idea of what “strong” means. Disney seems to think that traits often thought as “feminine”, like compassion, sensitivity, bring motherly, etc. are actually bad and/or weak! Instead, they just slap a bunch of “masculine” traits on their female characters and act like THAT’S the only way a woman can be strong - by acting more like men! Gee, really progressive, Disney. What’s worse, they give the characters some of the worst “masculine” traits as well. I mean, sure, they make them courageous, but they also make them really headstrong, overconfident, unfeeling… they’re just obnoxious, arrogant know-it-alls, they’re just not likable at all. And they have almost no adversity or weakness to overcome, they’re just perfect from the start. They can overcome any challenge right off the bat, with little to no training, and they almost never fail at anything. If the bad guys ever one-up her, it’s never a major loss, just a minor setback - they never lose spirit, or reach a low point. That’s because Disney won’t let their “strong and independent female characters” ever show a moment of weakness, they’ll never need a friend to pick them up… that would mean she’s not “strong”! That’s such bullshit! Strength of a character comes from the challenges they face and eventually overcome, despite struggling and failing along the way. It comes from the mistakes they make and how they learn from them! “Oh, but our strong female characters can’t possibly make mistakes, they’re perfect, unlike those lame and pathetic males!” Another problem is how Disney loves to absolutely butcher established characters and shit on their legacy, just so they can set them up to be replaced by their new and “better”, strong female character. And just to rub salt in the wound, the new character is shown to be stronger and more skilled in every way, and they flaunt how much better they are right in the former iconic heroes’ faces! “But it’s okay, because they deserve it! No matter how kind-hearted and heroic they acted in the past, they’re MEN, so they have to be taken down! They’re not fighting for equality, but for supremacy.
How could the Disney executives approve such an unlikeable character as the main heroine which would lead to box office disaster? Oh wait, KK approved this! Makes sense.
The only thing that requires more ‘suspension of disbelief’ than Phoebe being attractive is that Shia Lebuffe would actually join the military. [sigh] If only the fridge hadn’t been nuke proof… we wouldn’t be here today
They thought they were so clever when they used the eels to reference snakes. I just rolled my eyes and sighed. Those member berries were way past their expiration date.
Despite what you may think of Shia LaBeouf, what they did to the character of Mutt makes absolutely no sense. By the time he would enlisted in Vietnam he would have been 31. His character was an anti-estalishment biker raised by a liberal mother and the only father figure was a crazy academic. Why would he have enlisted in an unpopular war at that point in his life that his character would never have supported in the first place?
I-a long-time Indy fan-have decided not to watch the movie. My son said, "It's not that bad, Dad. Go watch it." Your video is the one I've chosen to show him if he tells me again. You've captured EXACTLY how I feel about what I've seen/heard/read about the movie and put it in a way better fashion than I could ever describe. Thanks, Vex!
1981 ; 'Raiders' - bought to you by men. "TOP! MEN"! 2023 ; 'Indiana Jones and the Dildo of Dumb' - bought to you by wimmen power. Eh, "YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY??????".
If I was you and my son thought that this movie wasn`t that bad .Maybe you should seat down with that kid and pour him a Bud Light and tell him about the birds and bees
Not to be disrespectul but I cant understand HOW your son thinks "its not so bad"🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. I am a woman AND I HATED IT TO THE BITS. The only way your son thinks this its "ok" is IF HE NEVER WATCHED ANY INDIANA JONES MOVIE, OR HE NEVER LIKED THE CHARACTER VERY MUCH. There is no way ANYONE who loved Indy can think this movie is "ok". FOR CHRIST SAKE... I kid you not (sadly) but it was the destruction of Luke Skywalker ALL OVER AGAIN...they DESTROY Indys character and personality, they DESTROY HIS FAMILY AND KILL HIS SON, only to have him miserable and broken enough to be "saved" OR BETTER PUT: REPLACED by the insufferable FWB. And "saved" is a saying, because she dont give a flying F about indy. Really whoever write this movie MUST BE A WOKE PERSON. Because they give 💩 about the character we love, but all of they care is to INSERT THEIR WOKE NEW CHARACTERS while killing our old ones. Is a disaster. I WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT just because my father saw it in "the web", so I had to help him saw it and we saw it together(my father likes indys movies so I have planned not to take him to watch this mess). 10 minutes later my father was sad to see such an old and miserable indy... it made sad to see him dissapointed because he taught it was just like the other movies. He lost interest after 30 minutes and went to sleep, but I keep watching to see if it was so terrible. Its a disaster, depressing movie that should have never being made. PERIOD. The end of indy was Cristal Skull. Not a perfect endind, but and ok ending. This 5th movie is a load of crap NOT ABOUT INDY AT ALL . ITS ABOUT FWB AND HER TAKING THE MANTLE OF INDY BY DESTROYING HIM. To hell with this movie.
Great review, but what a shame this movie is. I was looking forward to it, but i don't think i will watch it now since everything about it seems mediocre at best and a punch in the face for Indy fans at worst. Life sucks. ☹😔💔
I've noticed how she always covers up that black spot on her head..... It's blatantly a mark from her previous life where she was probably shot for hating men 😂
The continental drift thing was dumb. If the calculations were wrong, they wouldn't be going to the wrong time - they wouldn't have found the time fissure at all. Finding the time fissure proved that the antikythera worked. And really, in 2000 years, continental drift would have accounted for about 2,5 meters. And besides, seeing Archie in his tomb with a wrist watch would have proven to them that he _had_ had some contact with the future, and therefore could absolutely have known about continental drift.
think it was intentional that if Indy wasn't in this - the outcome would have been exactly the same... Mads gets the dial - flies to the past - is shot down with arrows - dies there... ?
The only good thing the spear head which was claimed to be the spear head which stabbed Christ is a real historical piece from around the 10thc AD. It definitely was not the weapon used in antiquity, but it exists.
Yes, could not agree more, her and Konnie Haque. And both have a disgusting huge mole on their face. Fleabag's mole is on her forehead and that is why her hair is glued to her forehead most of the time. Ugly does not do justice in describing Fleabag's appearance.
Nah, this wasn't a cash grab. They really wanted to make a movie that people loved, except they didn't know that they are incapable of making a movie we love
Does Harrison Ford have any old characters left which he would like to kick in the groin? Maybe he could go back to the Amish and have someone drive a horse and cart over John Book's zimmer frame walking corpse.
You know you're in trouble when freakin' "Octopussy" has a better Tuk-Tuk chase than you do, made decades earlier on a fraction of the budget and almost no SFX. This movie didn't make me angry, it made me depressed in a way no other flick has, seeing what they did to my favorite character. I wish I could scrub it from my brain.
I'm not sure how they had Helena lock away the title character with the bad guys to save herself, and still expected the audience to like her, or set her up to carry on the movies from now on. It seems pretty clear that she's the bad guy once she does that. It's like this movie is everything that's wrong with feminism. Women who identify with feminism want an excuse to be narcissistic and selfish, and nothing about this character has any femininity whatsoever. It's like not only do they want to be narcissists, they also wish they were men.
The only thing that Kennedy could have done more to destroy Indiana Jones, like Luke Skywalker, was to make them both aging transgenders, ready to be replaced by butch lesbians
I keep watching reviews and plot break downs for this movie, and I cant wrap my head around how such a simple plot reaches two and a half hours In run time
So many franchises destroyed because Kathleen Kennedy keeps insisting on idolized versions of herself as lead characters .... the amount of continental drift between 1939 to 1969 would be about 30 inches so that's silly

The most common phrase I'm hearing for Waller-bridge and her character online is "Insufferable."
Imagine having that label as an actor. 🤣
Insufferable is a good description for a lot of modern Hollywood characters, stories, writing... really everything.
Saw the movie today and she was fine. Her character evolves over the course of the movie ie. her character is more likable in later scenes vs earlier scenes when she is more cynical and self interested.
She is the main antagonist.
She was meant to be?
I like it when a woman calls out unfeminine women, and also calling out the fake "strong woman" characters

I didn't have "all" notifications turned on. It's now been remedied. :)
Brilliant new film review, Vex. of Indiana Jones 5. I love the previous four Indiana Jones films. but have no interest in watching this one. :)
My mind is blown to consider that what we got was after numerous rewrites, reshoots and the removal of what was perceived as Waller-Bridge's worst put downs of Indi - so this final product is improved... from what, we can barely imagine. What a waste of time and money.
The only winner here is Harrison Ford, he's "retiring" but like wrestlers of old, once he gets a juicy contract he comes back because he knows fans are crazy and wants to always see him even though it doesn't make sense
This movie...instead of giving us the Harrison Ford of the 80s, we get Harrison Ford *in his* 80s...!
Best comment of the day.
Hang it up!
In a sane world, they’d just recast Indiana Jones with a younger charismatic actor (like Ryan Gosling), and make a kickass adventure story - and drown in billions of dollars of profit.
Review that'll have you sayin "thank you come again"
Great work
Love ya, Whitey!
I hate what Disney’s doing with these so-called “strong” female characters, and I’m a feminist. They have a really scuffed idea of what “strong” means. Disney seems to think that traits often thought as “feminine”, like compassion, sensitivity, bring motherly, etc. are actually bad and/or weak! Instead, they just slap a bunch of “masculine” traits on their female characters and act like THAT’S the only way a woman can be strong - by acting more like men! Gee, really progressive, Disney.
What’s worse, they give the characters some of the worst “masculine” traits as well. I mean, sure, they make them courageous, but they also make them really headstrong, overconfident, unfeeling… they’re just obnoxious, arrogant know-it-alls, they’re just not likable at all. And they have almost no adversity or weakness to overcome, they’re just perfect from the start. They can overcome any challenge right off the bat, with little to no training, and they almost never fail at anything. If the bad guys ever one-up her, it’s never a major loss, just a minor setback - they never lose spirit, or reach a low point. That’s because Disney won’t let their “strong and independent female characters” ever show a moment of weakness, they’ll never need a friend to pick them up… that would mean she’s not “strong”! That’s such bullshit! Strength of a character comes from the challenges they face and eventually overcome, despite struggling and failing along the way. It comes from the mistakes they make and how they learn from them! “Oh, but our strong female characters can’t possibly make mistakes, they’re perfect, unlike those lame and pathetic males!”
Another problem is how Disney loves to absolutely butcher established characters and shit on their legacy, just so they can set them up to be replaced by their new and “better”, strong female character. And just to rub salt in the wound, the new character is shown to be stronger and more skilled in every way, and they flaunt how much better they are right in the former iconic heroes’ faces! “But it’s okay, because they deserve it! No matter how kind-hearted and heroic they acted in the past, they’re MEN, so they have to be taken down!
They’re not fighting for equality, but for supremacy.
kennedy loves to kill iconic male heroes
I refuse to see this movie
Making the right choice.
I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this (movie points).
Well...how do you REALLY feel about Phoebe Waller Bridge? LOL
Her existence is a bridge too far.
Wasting Mads Mikkelsen in these turds should be a criminal offence.
Phoebe Waller Bridge hss all the facial charms of Carel Struycken
Unattractive.
How could the Disney executives approve such an unlikeable character as the main heroine which would lead to box office disaster? Oh wait, KK approved this! Makes sense.
The only thing that requires more ‘suspension of disbelief’ than Phoebe being attractive is that Shia Lebuffe would actually join the military.
[sigh] If only the fridge hadn’t been nuke proof… we wouldn’t be here today
Unattractive. Horsey. Ugh
They thought they were so clever when they used the eels to reference snakes. I just rolled my eyes and sighed. Those member berries were way past their expiration date.
Despite what you may think of Shia LaBeouf, what they did to the character of Mutt makes absolutely no sense. By the time he would enlisted in Vietnam he would have been 31. His character was an anti-estalishment biker raised by a liberal mother and the only father figure was a crazy academic. Why would he have enlisted in an unpopular war at that point in his life that his character would never have supported in the first place?
I-a long-time Indy fan-have decided not to watch the movie. My son said, "It's not that bad, Dad. Go watch it." Your video is the one I've chosen to show him if he tells me again. You've captured EXACTLY how I feel about what I've seen/heard/read about the movie and put it in a way better fashion than I could ever describe. Thanks, Vex!
1981 ; 'Raiders' - bought to you by men. "TOP! MEN"!
2023 ; 'Indiana Jones and the Dildo of Dumb' - bought to you by wimmen power. Eh, "YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY??????".
If I was you and my son thought that this movie wasn`t that bad .Maybe you should seat down with that kid and pour him a Bud Light and tell him about the birds and bees
Not to be disrespectul but I cant understand HOW your son thinks "its not so bad"🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. I am a woman AND I HATED IT TO THE BITS. The only way your son thinks this its "ok" is IF HE NEVER WATCHED ANY INDIANA JONES MOVIE, OR HE NEVER LIKED THE CHARACTER VERY MUCH. There is no way ANYONE who loved Indy can think this movie is "ok". FOR CHRIST SAKE... I kid you not (sadly) but it was the destruction of Luke Skywalker ALL OVER AGAIN...they DESTROY Indys character and personality, they DESTROY HIS FAMILY AND KILL HIS SON, only to have him miserable and broken enough to be "saved" OR BETTER PUT: REPLACED by the insufferable FWB. And "saved" is a saying, because she dont give a flying F about indy. Really whoever write this movie MUST BE A WOKE PERSON. Because they give 💩 about the character we love, but all of they care is to INSERT THEIR WOKE NEW CHARACTERS while killing our old ones. Is a disaster. I WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT just because my father saw it in "the web", so I had to help him saw it and we saw it together(my father likes indys movies so I have planned not to take him to watch this mess). 10 minutes later my father was sad to see such an old and miserable indy... it made sad to see him dissapointed because he taught it was just like the other movies. He lost interest after 30 minutes and went to sleep, but I keep watching to see if it was so terrible. Its a disaster, depressing movie that should have never being made. PERIOD. The end of indy was Cristal Skull. Not a perfect endind, but and ok ending. This 5th movie is a load of crap NOT ABOUT INDY AT ALL . ITS ABOUT FWB AND HER TAKING THE MANTLE OF INDY BY DESTROYING HIM. To hell with this movie.
@@daveroche6522 top men? tf is that andrew tate bs lmao
its real men, get it right
Simple answer to a simple question - PUT QUENTIN TARANTINO IN CHARGE! 'Nuff said.....
Who would have guessed there would be fawning over the Nazi? Not that using the word “Chad” wasn’t a dead giveaway.
Cry harder.
You had me at “skull f…” 😂
Great review, but what a shame this movie is. I was looking forward to it, but i don't think i will watch it now since everything about it seems mediocre at best and a punch in the face for Indy fans at worst. Life sucks. ☹😔💔
Indiana Jones 5: the dial of saving Hitler
Far more enticing title 🤣
10:28 Way to bury the lede there: A literal rocket scientist got shot out of the sky by sticks hurled from people who hadn't invented _pockets_ yet.
I've noticed how she always covers up that black spot on her head..... It's blatantly a mark from her previous life where she was probably shot for hating men 😂
Fade to Black!
Wow. No sugar coating on this review. I loved it!
The continental drift thing was dumb. If the calculations were wrong, they wouldn't be going to the wrong time - they wouldn't have found the time fissure at all. Finding the time fissure proved that the antikythera worked. And really, in 2000 years, continental drift would have accounted for about 2,5 meters. And besides, seeing Archie in his tomb with a wrist watch would have proven to them that he _had_ had some contact with the future, and therefore could absolutely have known about continental drift.
As a female, I can only urge Waller-Bridge to identify as something other than female. Please? For all our sakes?
She doesn't rate as a female from me.
think it was intentional that if Indy wasn't in this - the outcome would have been exactly the same... Mads gets the dial - flies to the past - is shot down with arrows - dies there... ?
Indiana racing to stop Hitler being murdered would have been an interesting time travel twist. This sounds utterly dreadful.
this new female character is making Shia Lebleuf look supertight right about now
Barely legal harlots, what a great term.
Just found your channel today. Imma sub, keep up the great work
I couldn't be happier that the public has rejected this garbage of a movie.
Helena is no Marion Ravenwood.
Helena is scary.
Thank you so much for swimming through this crap so we don't have too. Great review!
Aww thank you, Jacob!
I was really hoping that I would be wrong on this one, but alas 🥺
Anyone else REALLY, REALLY looking forward to Ryan Georges Pitch Meeting for it?
The only good thing the spear head which was claimed to be the spear head which stabbed Christ is a real historical piece from around the 10thc AD.
It definitely was not the weapon used in antiquity, but it exists.
"Indiana Jones and the quest to save Hitler."
Its not Waller-Bridge's fault she isn't attractive. It is her fault for trying to act like she is.
Yes, could not agree more, her and Konnie Haque. And both have a disgusting huge mole on their face. Fleabag's mole is on her forehead and that is why her hair is glued to her forehead most of the time.
Ugly does not do justice in describing Fleabag's appearance.
She is both unattractive and can't act.
Where does the scene with the woman getting her eye gouged out comes from?
I believe you and I saw the exact same film. Worst Indy of all time.
That British bag couldn't hurt a flea!
Creepy
How does continental drift effect time? Wouldn’t that just affect where you were geographically?
RIP Indiana Jones
He had a good run. Went too far!
I read that many people invested in home theatre systems during COVID-19. So the trend is watching movies in your living room.
The children we could make with your roasting skills!!!
Oh you're good at this. Subscribed!
Nah, this wasn't a cash grab. They really wanted to make a movie that people loved, except they didn't know that they are incapable of making a movie we love
God I hate this movie. So much. I'm having heaps more fun watching reviews of the film than the actual movie itself. As if there was ever any doubt.
You deserve so many more subs than you have! You instantly got mine in the first 3 minutes. Hilarious and INSANELY accurate video.
Yes me too
Yep..simple but sad..Phoebe ruined the film…Kathleen has successfully destroyed another franchise!!…
KK is poison.
By far my favorite review along side the ones done by Disparu and the critical drinker. Enjoyed this thoroughly 😂
I’m convinced the only people praising this movie are the ones who got invited to the premiere and don’t want to tarnish that for the next Disney film
Best video on this SS Sultana of a movie I've seen, well done.
Be careful, Vex. If you keep using logic you may never turn into a "strong female character".
Great video here eh. I can't believe what a piece of trash this movie was.
This was an instance where I was sad that I was right. On top of being completely useless, this entry is just a butchering of Indy.
@@VexElectronica It's a travesty. Especially having to look at that giraffe for 2 hours
Does Harrison Ford have any old characters left which he would like to kick in the groin? Maybe he could go back to the Amish and have someone drive a horse and cart over John Book's zimmer frame walking corpse.
Great job Vex!
Thank you, buddy!! Appreciate you 🙌
Cash grabs are long and gone. We are merging into a time where quality is the only means for success.
Indiana Bore and the destruction of legacy is a despair of disenchantment
I liked how you deconstructed why certain characters sucked and your angle is refreshing. I hope your channel grows. Now off the the Witcher!!!
You know you're in trouble when freakin' "Octopussy" has a better Tuk-Tuk chase than you do, made decades earlier on a fraction of the budget and almost no SFX.
This movie didn't make me angry, it made me depressed in a way no other flick has, seeing what they did to my favorite character. I wish I could scrub it from my brain.
Agree with your assessment of her non-existent sex appeal, which only matters because she seems to have no self-awareness.
Fade to Black. Gimme a break!
Feeble Wooly-Minge strikes again!
I'm not sure how they had Helena lock away the title character with the bad guys to save herself, and still expected the audience to like her, or set her up to carry on the movies from now on. It seems pretty clear that she's the bad guy once she does that.
It's like this movie is everything that's wrong with feminism. Women who identify with feminism want an excuse to be narcissistic and selfish, and nothing about this character has any femininity whatsoever. It's like not only do they want to be narcissists, they also wish they were men.
Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Diarrhea
Indiana Jones and the Depends of Destiny 🤣
Indiana Jones and the Horse Faced Woman
Great writing and humor Vex. May the algorithm smile on you.
No, but seriously, she flamed the hell outta her at 7:20. I can feel it through the screen.
You nailed every cultural and cinematic flaw in this disaster of a movie.
Indy 5 DOES NOT COUNT!
This is NOT an Indiana Jones movie. We fans hated it!
The only thing that Kennedy could have done more to destroy Indiana Jones, like Luke Skywalker, was to make them both aging transgenders, ready to be replaced by butch lesbians
Wait don't give them any ideas! smh
Thank you for being real🙇♂️🙏
I keep watching reviews and plot break downs for this movie, and I cant wrap my head around how such a simple plot reaches two and a half hours In run time
So many franchises destroyed because Kathleen Kennedy keeps insisting on idolized versions of herself as lead characters .... the amount of continental drift between 1939 to 1969 would be about 30 inches so that's silly
Great review!! You are my new favorite. Please please keep it coming!
