Other than green screen galore it looks decent I guess.

Not expecting much but hopefully it's better than Crystal Skull.

They're too fucking stupid/lazy to write a plot that doesn't involve the marriage breaking down at the start - just so they can no doubt end the movie with a trite, feel good reconciliation with Marion that they've had to do zero actual work to achieve.

It's as transparent as it is dreadful.
Hang on, he is getting served at the beginning of the film? No fault divorce wasn't a thing in the US till 1969 whihc is after this film, I beleive.

That means old Indy is still banging his students in order for Marion to justify a divorce at that time.......you sly dog you :p

Fuck, now I want a film about a 60's era P.I. following Indy around trying to take pics of Indy absolutely RAILING young co-eds. But Indy keeps taking these women to exotic archeological dig sites full of traps as cover, so the P.I. ends up getting as skilled as Indy in recovering treasure. At the end of the film, Indy lies mortally wounded, surrounded by the lusty maidens who earned their PhDs through riding the D, and he hands off his fedora and whip to the P.I. saying "you are the rascal now....gaaasssp, I'm coming Willie, I'm com...."dead.

They’re separated because Mutt died in Vietnam.

That really just doesn't track. I get the need to explain any absence of
Mutt
but it just doesn't seem to fit with Indy's character as a person. You'd think old folks would bond with each other over such a thing. And I bet there is virtually zero story reason for it to even happen, unless the Dial is the macguffin to reverse/undo it.

This is something I LOVED about the Hawkeye show. Clint told his wife he was gonna be late. She didn't bat an eye, she supported him through it all, and even when he is running around with an amazingly hot piece of ass there was ZERO creepiness or jealous wife drama. THANK GOD. So refreshing that a show could hold a man accountable for being a good dude and not let the writers rehash their bad childhoods and numerous failed marriages on screen.

I mean, I'd have done horrible things to Kate Bishop, things that could never be undone, things that change you as a person, but I'm no Avenger :p

The death of Mutt is the thing Indy would change if he had the full dial (he only had half). Voller wants to stop Hitler from invading Poland, a mistake he sees as causing the downfall of the Nazis.

Poland? Ya sure it isn't Russia?

Nope Poland. Comes right after Indy and Voller have an exchange where he says “You should’ve stayed in New York” and Indy responds with “You should’ve stayed out of Poland”.

Indy asks Voller who he wants to kill in the past, Roosevelt, Churchill and Voller says he wants to kill Hitler to stop him from invading Poland, which he calls the “big mistake” because history is a succession of wars and you have to be on the victors’ side (and earlier he talked about how Germany lost the war but wasn’t defeated).

Hang on, so Indy is fighting AGAINST a guy who
wants to kill Hitler, prevent WW2, and is basically a kinder gentler nazi?
wow, that's a take.

Well he doesn’t know that until the end of the movie. Which is why Indy asks him who he wants to kill.

Right before Voller uses the dial and of course ends up dying.

And no

He wants to stop Hitler from invading Poland because he thinks that will allow the Nazis to last forever since they would never lose the war.

Indy is the actual villian of this movie, because even though he fought Nazi's, apparently he stole from indigenous people... that makes him like a double nazi.

The plot being Indy breaking INTO museums to steal stuff to give back to indigs was surely tossed around as a plot at some point. To then hopefully be thrown into a fire or smashed to pieces like what happens to so many of those things in their original land areas. Much better when safely stored in a giant warehouse, really....

There´s actually a time travel novel about this topic, Making History from Stephen Fry

And again that dialog is fake and made up by an anime avatar culture warrior troll. It doesn’t exits in the movie.

I never said it was in the film, did you also think I believed Indy was the villian of the movie? it's a joke about a movie that sucks.. calm your tits please.
 
Waiting for Ulysses to post The Critical Drinker video. 🐻🐻

Also laughing at the chase scene overusage. Is it because Grandpa Ford can't really run anymore so to have some form of action you gotta have fast moving vehicles? Gotta make sure Harrison doesn't fall and break his hip.

So Indy isn’t able to
save Mutt?

Nope. Because the dial technically doesn’t work the way Voller wants it to because Archimedes didn’t know about the continents moving when he made it. So the vortexes it detects will only send people back 2000 years. Voller and his henchman die in the invasion of Syracuse.

Actor Harrison Ford, who plays Indiana Jones in the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny film, recently described the character is portrayed as “not so strong, not so brave, not so attentive” in the film.

Modern Hollywood really knows how to portray iconic heroes... 👀

Or it's a typical Ford not caring about the character he plays.(Didn't care if Greedo shot first, wanted Solo dead) :messenger_winking_tongue:
