As someone with a soft spot for the series, I personally enjoyed it well enough. It’s another Indiana Jones movie, it’s quite formulaic, but its fun and it works for its intended purpose. It was never going to be incredible, high-brow cinema and I do wonder why anyone who has seen any of the others expected it to be anything other than what it was.
These days people will shit on anything and everything
Good movies can be objectively fun or objectively good or both, but these days it’s all shit unless it’s both
Can’t say I agree with that take, I thought it was one of the better Indiana Jones movies, maybe even better than Temple Of Doom. It ticked all the boxes for me.
“Maybe even better than Temple of Doom”
They should put that on the posters.
Damned with faint praise, indeed.
Same here, I enjoyed the film. It portrayed Jones well as an aging person who is past their prime giving it one last shot. The action was good, the plot was enjoyable, the Nazis got a kicking. What’s not to like?
Basically all the chase scenes were camera glued 10 cm from the protagonists and shaky cam for 15 minutes at a time.
Oh noooooo! I was just rewatching Raiders the other day and thinking about how good the camera work was, and how if they shot it today half of those fight scenes would be incomprehensible shaky cam. Sad to hear that Dial has fallen to the shaky side.
To be fair, a dead pope trial is always a good time.
Why is anyone surprised. This has been the case for Harrison Ford movies for the last 10 years. Coasting on properties he didn’t create and had low respect for
It must be hard for him seeing what has become of Indy, since Indiana Jones was such a huge character and time in his life.
Not really, allegedly he doesn’t really like at all the IPs or the characters he plays in those IPs that he is most known for. He goes, does the acting, gets the paycheck and leaves.
Does he even care about acting or just money
Didn’t they have to drag him kicking and screaming back to play Han Solo one last time with the promise that they’d kill off the character just to get him in Episode VII?
