- Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny reviewed by Siddhant Adlakha. Opens in theaters on June 30, 2023.
By yanking Indiana Jones out of retirement yet again, for a fifth (and hopefully final) movie, Disney proves that some things should be allowed to end. Or, at the very least, it proves that a franchise resurrection should spend at least some of its 154 minutes doing something other than trying desperately to justify its own existence. Earnest final efforts from Harison Ford and John Williams couldn’t rescue a movie so directionless and haphazard, or action that fails to recapture the swashbuckling joys of the originals. By asking why Indy is on this adventure in the first place, and what the character gains on the other side of it, Dial of Destiny concocts paradoxical answers that fail to meet in the middle. It’s a film about letting go of the past and moving forward, but one that refuses to do the same.

So what I'm hearing is that my memory is indeed correct: The Indiana Jones Trilogy ended with Indy and his father riding off into the sunset with Sallah and Marcus Brody.
You have poor memory. There's also fourth and fifth is coming.
Just like how Star Wars ended when Vader threw the Emperor down a shaft and Luke redeemed his father.
@@KingPingviini what 4th there's no 4th and u cannot convince me there's one
😂
No.The story of Indiana Jones ended walking off with Marian Ravenwood on his arm and fond memories of Willie Scott. 3-5 are a mess.
They should've just released the originals back in theaters for a few weeks. Retro theaters should be more of a thing.
Quentin Tarantino has done his part. More filmmakers should follow his lead.
Why not open your own theater? You got the name, and all.
100% agreed!
Raiders is being released in early June for a limited run.
@@SaitohYatate oh yeah, you're right! I'll get on that!
It’s actually impressive that the company with probably the most financial resources in the entertainment world can consistently make terrible decisions that derail their ten year plans of tentpole feature content.
When it’s less of a vision from a couple people and instead goes through a dozen studio heads, that’s a recipe for disappointment
And yet, millions keep on going to their movies.
Mindlessly throwing money at old franchises won't make great movies.
It‘s called: too big to fail.
It's Hollywood. The decisionmakers at the large studios are not filmmakers but corporate bureaucrats who lack imagination for anything but more $$$.
You know what would be a perfect way to end the Indiana Jones series? He and his father finally bond, and then with his two other friends they ride on horses off into the sunset with a swelling score by John Williams..oh wait!
Exactly!!!
Those three are the ONLY Indy movies in my house, and that WAS the end!
Disney is beating a dead horse trying to make one more dollar!🙄
The Last Crusade was the PERFECT ending to a beloved series; the protagonist finds the literal Holy Grail and then literally rides off into the sunset. It would be impossible to end a series any better than that.
How a billion dollar corporation can consistently miss lay ups is beyond me. Well here’s a drink for another fallen hero.
The "message" comes before profits.
We all know why.
Lol bro don’t act like if this film was a banger you and your kind wouldn’t still drag it.
That’s how. They played politics. Now the people are in response.
@@tonypepperoni3679 Haha! So true. The MESSAGE is what sets the stage for everything that comes after. Frickin' MESSAGE. 🤘😆
Lay ups 😂.
Thank you, Lucasfilm and Disney, for digging up all of my childhood heroes and absolutely breaking them down into unfulfilled shadows of what they used to be.
its so destroyed you can;t go back and watch the previous movies
@@chaserseven2886 no one said that lmao
He didn't like it. Does not mean you won't? Have a brain, dude.
😂lmao ☝️
@@chaserseven2886 Nah, the original trilogy will always be great no matter what comes after.
Y'know it must be ridiculously bad when IGN, of all people, give the movie a 4
ign isnt a person
@@etmon. thanks captain obvious 😂
IMO Disney has given the ok to fairly review this one. They want to get rid of KK
The days of IGN being a positivity well are long past. They're generally in line with critical voices now and often one of the harsher.
@@andrewt9128 pretty much how it is these days in age. 👍🏼
People 40 yrs ago with a smaller budget, more primitive technology, and overall less resources could make three movies better than most movies produced nowadays, speaks volumes about the importance of writing.

I'm grateful to Dial Of Destiny and Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull for one thing. Their existence means that my personal favorite, Temple Of Doom, is no longer the red headed stepchild of the franchise.
Temple Of Doom is the best Indi for mee
All first 3 indie movies were great
Temple of Doom has always been my Fav!!!
"Red headed step child" 😂 that's great.
this is no time for love Dr. Jones! 🤨
So basically crystal scull is not the worst in the franchise any more.
fucken hell
Damn 😂
True, but it's still a bad film.
From everything I've read, the general consensus is that Dial of Destiny is SLIGHTLY better than Crystal Skull, which means little considering how bad THAT one was.
We've gone from Crystal Skull to Crystal Meth because the people behind this were smoking some crazy sh!t
Dude the fact that ign gave this a 4 and not their classic 7 makes me so bummed this was even made
‘Dial of destiny’ is kind of a clear giveaway lol - terrible title
come on!
Indy 4 was maked!
That was their First Mistike
Now, they can even make 6th One
@@HenryBenedictUSAdial of destiny sounds like a typical Indiana Jones title what are you talking about
Spielberg's direction it's about 33% of what made Indy movies great, his action sequences have always been exciting, take that away from the film and you get this.
I'm not sure Dial of Destiny will hit 67%.
Mangold is still a decent director when it comes to action. He did to the Wolverine and Logan after all.
Spielberg's direction on Crystal Skull was lazy and uninspired. He clearly didn't give a damn.
From everything I've read the direction in Dial is superior to Crystal Skull. Unfortunately, everything else is just as bad.
Indeed. For all of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's problems (which are many and sundry); Spielberg still knew how to direct a decent action sequence.
The entire Disney Corp is a giant “This is fine…” meme right now
A lot of things these days are pretty much that meme.
as if this not make money
F'in Crystall Skull maked money
“cartoony physics” is not really a valid critique. every indiana jones movie has cartoony physics, it’s not new with this movie
The franchise really truly ended after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Disney should just leave the past alone.
Agreed

Greed.

There are three Indiana Jones movies. Full stop.
Yup anything else is corporate driven fanfic imo
@@CarurossTheSecond218idk Indy 4 was made by the same people who made the other three. Hardly call it corporate fanfic, even if it was bad
@@acidrain92 an aging Spielberg wanking it to Aliens whatever 😂
OG 3 will always be the best until they get back to basics.
I’ll never understand why people hated the aliens in indy 4… we got angels killing a whole group of nazis, some dude pulling hearts out with bare hands, and a knight that lived forever, and suddenly aliens are too out of reach??
Crystal skull was quite well reviewed
These reviews are heartbreaking.
Literally everyone saw this coming.
@@TerranViceGrip literally not a single person saw this coming
@@joecamps1119 a lot of people saw this coming hence why most of the trailers are split between likes/dislikes

If you squint, that looks like a 4.
hahaha, fair point
Your comment gets a 7 from me.
And just like that, a new appreciation for Kingdom of The Crystal Skull was born.
Best comment
Yeah, no. It's insufferable enough people are doing it with the Star Wars prequels. Also, none of us have seen it yet.
@@jjstraka1982 The prequels were always miles above the sequel trilogy. Hating on the prequels is so cliche. Maybe get an original opinion for once in your life.
np
@@jjstraka1982 exactly we have 42 more days to wait
sigh.... this is absolutely heartbreaking. Lucasfilm and Disney's answer to everything is nostalgia and it's destroying everything.
You desperately need to set your priorities in life if a movie broke your heart.
That is a well that will some day run dry if they never make anything new to be nostalgic over in the future. It's all about balance, which is currently out of whack
Funny how no one complained about nostalgia back in 2016 when Lucasfilm spoon-fed Star Wars audiences "fan service and nostalgic cash grab: The Movie". Nah. People will still defend Rogue One like it's Citizen Kane (thus proving my point).
Character swaps and memberberries
@@brandonsmith9098 I've been complaining about that since godzilla in the 90s
When Spielberg didn't wanted to direct it, we knew something isn't rite.
Because he knew when to stop
Which begs the question, is The BFG way better?
@@Amp661 If he knew when to stop, Crystal Skull wouldn't exist.
Spielberg has had a lot of misses these past 20 years or so.
Disney has set a record in destroying both Star Wars and Indiana Jones, two franchises that should be impossible to sink.
Star Wars was never destroyed, but keep projecting. Just because you say something doesn't mean it's true.
@@brandonsmith9098 that's not how the term "projecting" is used...you should probably look up the big words you don't know before using them.
@@Macintosh1001 oof, you didn't have to do him dirty like that😄
@@Macintosh1001 Um. YOU might want to look up the term "projecting" and try again. Or get you a degree in psychology and come back. But since that's not happening here's a little dose of reality for you, kiddo. Psychological projection is a defense mechanism that involves attributing one's own feelings, desires, or qualities to another person, group, animal, or object.
@@seanmcquade8610 Oof. Might not want to throw your lot in with people who don't understand what psychological projection is.
Anyone here surprised? Disney doing what Disney does best.
Disney didn't make this movie, Einstein. They hired writers, producers and directors, its their failure, not Disneys 🤦♂️.
If Disney hired them, then they oversaw the failure. So it’s there failure. (Like a GM that hires the wrong players)
@@The_Ostrich Your logic is flawless lmao
@@The_OstrichIt’s a Disney product, so yes; it’s Disney’s failure.
It's a Paramount movie
Who's brilliant idea was it to take out Indie without Steven Spielberg?! If Spielberg isn't interested, don't make another Indiana Jones. You don't mess with globally cherished gems.
kathleen kennedy strikes again
So sad, what in todays society could have allowed such a beloved franchise to fall so a 4/10. My heart breaks for our current youth having to grow up with such... pathetic excuses for heroes and heroines to look up to.
They didn’t want to offend anyone! 😂
It's just a movie. Lol.
@@kylebookout1789 just a movie? When u realise 90% of people's real life decisions come from what they see in movies u start to realise how influential they are. Why do u think their pushing so much wokeness, its because films and music hold incredible influence over the youth so whatever they see they are likely to become more like. It's propaganda through the lense of entertainment

@@ethanle8511 not me but many people do believe it or not
The writers who ruined Star Wars and Indiana Jones can stay on strike…
We don’t want them back
Ditto with the Matrix 4....
@@edgelordpriestessofwaifust6434 In all fairness, Matrix 2 and 3 were nothing to write home about.
@@BishopWalters12 True. But they were also filmed back-to-back and it appeared like Hollywood had closed the book on The Matrix back in 2003 after realizing there would be no fanfare for a 4th.
REAL Indy Fans will boycott this crap. Time to send DISNEY a message
They should have just done a movie version of The Fate of Atlantis 😊
Fate of Atlantis is the ONLY 4th Indy, as far as I'm concerned.
It’s like companies forget how to make a franchise these day. First off; make something NEW. CREATE A NEW UNIVERSE. Creativity is only dead when you lack it. Star Wars 1976 was very vague in terms of lore compared to the later movies because they started with a solid foundation and built on it with things that are relatable and interesting. It shouldn’t be that hard…
Corporations lack creativity.
It's very very hard. But they just don't have the people who can do it
There exist thousands of scifi, fantasy and adventure books out there. All of them could be done into a movie or even into a whole franchise. But the big companies are so lazy and they dont want to try something new. They try to squeeze out what they have over and over again. And the people are tired of it. Even Marvels peak is long time over.
The problem is that these dipshit companies won't do something original because it's a hit or miss. It's not safe. They realized that bringing old media back and reintroducing it to a present audience and old fans keeps the money coming in. There's no art in movies anymore, and if it is it's very rare.
@@ranulf8477 the reason for that is risk aversion ,as budgets baloon hollywood wants safer and safer bets and tha means nostalgia,sequels and reboots
What they needed to make was an Indiana Jones game, uncharted/tomb raider style
They are.
There’s one being made by Bethesda
Looking likely to get a release announcement at these summer showcases which if I'm not mistaken start around june 11th.
no
Pretty sure that was just The Emperor's Tomb.
In the 80s: Movies are so awesome now but imagine how amazing they will be in 40 years with all the advances in technology!
In 2023: What the Hell happened to movies 🤦♂️
BINGO! :))
Don’t tell Quentin Tarantino that. To him the 80s were the worst decade in cinema history
Capitalism: Selling nostalgia. Play safe and don't take too many creativity risks.
Funny thing, that approach usually backfires.
There's more movies out there outside of this one, in case you weren't aware.
@@deoduceassassin tell Tarantino that he's out of his mind.
Well, at least we can look forward to a possible LEGO Indiana Jones 3 right?
There's the silver lining.
🤠
Would probably be better than this movie 😂
@Animal Truk As well as the forthcoming game by Bethesda. . .
@@cjsvoiceworks6008
Yeah whatever happened to THAT?
Just remember. IGN gave battlefront 2 2005 only a 7/10. don’t trust IGN
What the hell IGN? What's up with this review? You give almost everything a 7 and then you give THIS a 4? This movie was easily better than most of the movies you have rated a 7
Indy can't just be happy retired with Marion like Crystal Skull implied? This didn't need to exist...
Man, it actually would have been nice to see a 7 for once…
The last few were 7.
Thor 4 was 7
@@dcmastermindfirst9418And it didn’t deserve it
Still going to watch it. I’ll rank it myself IGN.
Always the best thing to do...
...especially if a subject appeals to us.
We have seen it in theater and gladly so.
Let us a word to tell if you liked it...
The nostalgia and magic of beloved movies fades with our modern technology
it doesn't "fades with out modern technology" AT ALL, it's just a matter of execution as modern technology SHOULD be elevating these films when done right and well! It's not the tech at all. It NEVER is in the slightest.
This comment is completely disproved with the existance of blade runner 2049
@@jeanvaljean6433 exactly! And that movie is a phenomenal masterpiece! Among the many, MANY other movies out there! Some people just love to complain!
If it's really that bad, then people will start appreciating Indy 4 and they will be talking about Indy 5 instead.
Just like it happened with the Star Wars prequels.
A movie with no direction that wants to forget the past and move on but really can't forget the past.
Sounds like every movie I've seen for the last 10 years
Is there anyone even left to ruin?
Disney can't help itself with destroying beloved franchises
St.fup
You mean it wasn't already destroyed by Spielberg and Lucas 15 years ago? Bold claim.
On crip tho…
its so destroyed you can;t go back and watch the previous movies
Rabble rabble rabble ✊
Another Disney Kathleen Kennedy disaster. First Star Wars and now this.
They want us to apologize for the past but can't build anything worthwhile not dependent on that past.
When a 90s Computer game has a better premise/story than the modern day film...
Currently has a Metascore of 52, so a 4 is below the average but not far from it
Its only had one screening
At least Hamill had the guts to speak out against what happened to Star Wars. Ford signed up to ruin two characters for a buck.
My biggest gripe in modern movie making is the over reliance on CGI… remember when movies used real props and shot scenes on location ? Those were the days.
Yup those days are long gone with most films it's just cheaper to use CGI and hopefully we just buy into a movie that looks completely computer generated.
This will be an expensive mistake. There goes Kathleen’s golden parachute.
Lucasfilm film has been a rolling wreck of bad decisions for years.
Maybe People will learn how much fun lucas and Spielberg brought to these films even the 4th which isn't the best but still had fun and dynamic action.
The fact that he didn’t say that this franchise just belongs in a museum makes me feel like it’s writer isn’t old enough to have grown up with Indiana Jones! Lol taken with a grain of salt
"SO DO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sorry, had to get that out.
Growing up is watching everything you loved become a cheap cash grab.
Its depressing that this is John Williams last score and it had to be wasted on a shitty film
They couldn't let the franchise end on the crystal skull. We can all agree on that! Perhaps they should have looked/asked tom cruise how he made top gun maverick. It perfectly revived the old franchise(?) and took notes before starting this indy 5
Spielberg should have directed this movie
Also Spielberg and Lucas should have actually written this script!
He didn't also made the fourth one? 😅
Please not.
Nobody should have directed this movie, because it ought not to have been made in the first place.
Sometimes living in the past is better than living in the present
Be it Star Wars.. Or Indy.. Without Lucas.. The magic and the passion isn't there.
Lmao really, you mean crystal skull and the prequels??
You kids are really deluded
Lucas was making Episode 2.
He is not inocent
Remember, these people liked She Hulk.
Soooo... who is waiting for the next south park episode...
Yikes. I'm sad for Harrison and Williams. But happy this may finally spell Kennedy's exit. If destroying 3 franchises isn't enough to fire her nothing will be.
This one, Star Wars, what's the third?
@@SCharlesDennicon Willow.
Holy crap! A 4 out of 10!? It can’t be THAT bad ! Right?
Nah, IGN always speaks in hyperbole.
Nope!
Correct, it's worse.
Worse
Did you see the last one, it was terrible
How does Kathleen Kennedy still have a job????
Why is the reviewer yelling?
We still don't even have a decent blu ray box set of the first trilogy remastered and with tons of extras, commentaries, etc.!!!! That's also criminal IMHO.
so basically what I’m hearing is that crystal skull is no longer the worst
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a great ending for the series. Disney is dead to me. :)
Is there any recent movies other than Top Gun Maverick that successfully brought the series back to life ? 🤔
Avatar 2, arguably
Evil Dead Rise
Blade Runner 2049 and Mad Max: Fury Road are the only other two that spring to mind.
@@astrosquirrel5038 Yet, we will probably never see a proper third Bade Runner film with Ford in it, which is unfortunate.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
It was so over-the-top with fan service that it divided some fans, but it's getting a sequel, so apparently it worked.
its def better than a 4 outta 10....and way better than Crystal Skull...I enjoyed most of it
thank you.
at least there's someone reasonable
Well done Disney for ruining yet another franchise.
The rode off into the sunset in The Last Crusade for a reason. 😉
Of course they think a woman can be the new Indiana Jones lmao
siddhant adlakha must be a really miserable human. the audience seems to really enjoy this. life as a critic must be exhausting and unsatisfying. this is why you have to see it for yourself. don't let douchebag critics ruin it for you.
What a big old whige....the movie is a bit too long, but apart from that it's fun.
Totally disagree with the review rating. It is an Indiana Jones film through and through. Bit old skool and heart warming. End of an era also. 7 out of 10
Studios need to understand.. this is "James Bond in treasure hunter".. not just an action adventure..
This era will be remembered as the ''Nostalgia bait'' era in films
As a silver lining, will this finally show Bob Iger that Kathleen Kennedy needs to go? Lucasfilm is desperately in need of competent leadership and would be a cash printing machine if they understood what made their properties appealing in the first place.
Shitty review by a long shot. Saw the movie today and it was great, filled with references, a decent story and lots of action.
A better review: 9/10 would recommend.
'Filled with references' is exactly the problem. Review was right on.
wow..didnt even get a 7 from ign. and that is an already low bar to pass.
So… if rebooting anything is only going to result in failed expectations and no one cares for original creations anymore, then what exactly is there to look forward to in the entertainment industry?
Damn that's some harsh criticism, sad to see much a beloved series fall so low. Following up one of Spielberg's most gigantic trilogies would never be easy, but it's to bad to hear that once again another movie is relying so much on member this nostalgia.
Did we forget the last movie destroyed the series or
Yeah but what I've gathered this seems to be just as bad as KOTCS cause RT gave it a 77% with an audience score of 53% so only half liked it and half disliked it but yesterday RT gave it a 44% which is alot lower but as for Audience we have to see when they are at the premiere. Now RT is at 50%
This reviewer is dour on everything. Just wait till more reviews come out before making a determination.
Make no mistake, this bad press is coming from Iger.
So now one dude's opinion on IGN is the all-knowing source, smh.
😂 congrats Kathleen and Disney, you manage to destroy another franchise.
Disneys inability to read the room, IE know what the fans want. To see in a film, yet continue to go in the opposite direction. To pander to a non movie going audience. Will go down in history as the quickest way to bankrupt a once profitable corporation.
Honestly the only thing surprising here is how predictable this was from the beginning. Remember when action movies were action movies, not 3-hour award seeking narratives full of junk CGI?
Instead of the de-aging they should have pulled Anthony Ingruber into the franchise.
Should have used him in solo as well.
He's in this film funnily enough
My real question is how Kathleen Kennedy has kept her position after regularly leading severely underperforming properties. If Lucasfilm were a factory of almost any other product, and consistently produces low quality products that customers complained about, she would have been replaced long ago.
they shouldnt have made another movie without that steven speilberg flair
Indiana Jones movie without Steven Spielberg direction it's like shooting a gun without a bullet, there's the tension but no impact at all
Like a 1970s rock band that just doesn’t know when to stop the track….thanks Disney!
1970s rock is the best. Is there any rock these days?
Most '80s thrash metal bands still plopping out albums: 👀
@@commandercaptain4664 The best rock these days are actually GIRL METAL bands coming out of Japan. Look up Band-Maid, Trident, and Hanabie my dude.
Goddamn, even IGN thinks this movie is bad... That's pretty telling
Damn dude a 4 from IGN is like a 1 from any normal human being.
Disney needs to stop killing franchises.
This is so disappointing. The studio have all the money, technology and talent they need at their disposal. There's no excuse for making a bad picture.
You really have to give it to Disney for Destroying Every Franchise they get their hands on.😢
Darth Vader voice...."Disneys failure is now complete...we have seen the fall of Skywalker...and now Indiana Jones...."
The hypocrisy of pushing a narrative of letting go of the past and moving on in a film that is 100% dependent on the nostalgia of the past successes to capitalize itself upon. They didn’t learn their lesson after the travesty of Crystal Skull. Who’d have thought they’d ever make another Indiana Jones film after that catastrophe let alone one that is even worse. The Indiana Jones franchise ended in 1989.
Who's they?
