Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny Being Devoid of Logic

gotta be honest, I didn’t like it. 1. It was too long. 2. Helena is EXTREMELY unlikeable. 3. Indy is now a broken down drunk old man who basically has a death wish which just made everything depressing. 4. After a while, I just got bored. There’s only so many action sequences you can get into until you realize that you weren’t feeling any danger and you were just watching the somewhat, (in some scenes) questionable visuals. 6. Too much CGI. A few times the de-ageing seemed off plus why spend $300 million USD when you still have a 40 year old Harrison Ford STILL sound like 80 year old Harrison Ford?! You couldn’t hire the best impersonator money can buy??? In the tuk-tuk chase, you can clearly tell it’s CGI when Indy and Helena are bickering. You can see it’s CGI a few times when Indy is on the horse, especially on the two or three close-ups of Indy’s face upwards. You can easily see that it’s a CGI background, which takes us out of the immersion. 7. Teddy is a Great Value version of Short Round, but isn’t as likable or cute. He’s almost like a younger Helena, which is awful. (I could barely stand one!) 8. The best sequence is the prologue on the train, after in 1969, it quickly becomes such a slog. 9. What happens at the end with Indy and Helena annoyed me. (She spent the entire time being so ageist and annoying that for me, I was like, “Okay, we still got 15 minutes to go, I think I’m going to dose off a little.” Because at this point, I just didn’t care anymore and I just wanted to have it be over with! 9. Was Indy ever cleared??? 10. I’m sorry but Crystal Skull is better than this imo. I enjoyed it better. Looking back, Mutt and aliens don’t look as bad anymore. (They did him dirty btw.) 11. It only made $24 million USD only for Thursday preview and Friday debut. Against a $300 million budget, and only making $382 million worldwide, this is god awful news. It seems(like this movie), it’s a long and far journey to even BREAKING even! There’s no way it’s reaching the heights of $800 million USD plus! 12. Why was this necessary?! Everything goes basically back to depressing reality minus one thing by the end! I’d rather have just had Crustal Skull’s happy ending if we needed a semi recent Indy movie, just leave it at that! And 13. Why couldn’t they have brought Short Round back? He himself saw Indy as his own father figure. He could have become an archaeologist himself and reaches out to Indy, (who is happily still with Marion and who is now thriving and president of his university and who has become wealthy and semi famous after writing several books about his adventures that which would evolve into the young Indiana Jones Chronicles ) to help him on a mission and the movie goes with them instead of Helena. Plus Mutt and Indy are on good terms now, with Mutt being much maturer and wiser after all this time. Perhaps he joins too? SR and Indy can have a really touching moment somewhere in the movie too. I started thinking about it throughout the movie. Just on what could have been. God what a disappointment!

Dr. Henry Jones: You call this archaeology?
Me: You call this an Indiana Jones movie?
Disney sure has made certain you have a very busy year, Dude...

Why would they fly the plane so close to the Roman navy in the first place?!😂

You didn't even factor in that after hitting the pipe at 40mph with his head he feel at least 20 if not 50 or more feet (it's hard to see the slope) and there's no way he got immediate medical care

I agree with you, Indiana Jones 4 and 5 were awful and disappointing, the plot of those 2 movies didn’t make any sense, and felt silly, childish, forced, delusional, stupid, & ridiculous at times, both of those movies definitely deserve to forgotten, and the series definitely should have ended after The Last Crusade (Indiana Jones 3), and Star Wars should have ended after Revenge Of The Sith with 6 movies as a whole in the saga

I'm sorry, but as an Indian I didn't enjoy the 3rd movie and I watched it a lot more critically than most. And I'm here to tell you so many problems that are mentioned in this video are in that movie too.

Yes I noticed that cop on the horse just disappeared. And why didn’t the big guy henchman follow Jonesy into the crowd? Yes lots of other bad cutting here. However despite all that I did enjoy the film. Watched it teice

I didn't want to like this movie but, having not seen it, it's my fourth favourite Indiana Jones film because the women in it pisses so many people off by being badly written and unrealistically powerful, I.e. a normal action movie character.

Helena is the most insufferable character ever put to film.

Was literally laughibg my ass off the entire movie! Ridiculous

When Voller got hit by that sign and didn't die I thought his survival would be explained by possessing the Spear of Longinus. I thought it was real and he was just keeping it away from Hitler. If that had been revealed I would've accepted it since we know the power of mystical artifacts, but it wasn't so I shrugged off the movie as just another mindless action adventure movie.

A film is a work of art! It is not a reappraisal of history and certainly not a documentary!
Indy 5 has made the connection to all the previous films, Harrison Ford has an admirable fitness at 79 years old and Helena is top notch in challenging Indy's place! After all, Helena loves Indy, so I forgive her!

Dissapointing end of this franchise. I had the impression, that i had seen every scene before in one of the other Indy movies. So many scenes to feature Indiana Jones, but not really nescessary to help the plot. Well, Ford would have been crazy to deny the money. But i noticed a good thing too: i liked Gimli's cameo appearance.

Amazing. Everything word of what Supercuts Delight said in this video... was wrong.

The movie was BLOATED AF

This movie made Crystal Skull look like a masterpiece and I say this as someone who profoundly detests everything about Crystal Skull 😭

Are we sure that A.I. isn't already writing and directing movies?

Just made my own video essay !

In Temple Of Doom, "fortune and glory". Indian jones is a tomb raiding thief like all the others. Movie was fine.

This movie was dull, depressing, low-key unwatchable, and so unfaithful to the spirit of the four Lucas and Spielberg came up with… Jesus.

This movie is “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” In other words, nonsense! The dumbing down of western culture.👎🏻

idk, I loved it.

I think this movie was made only to erase the kingdom of the crystal skull

looks like you were a girl scout little man if you don't know that a clean punch from somebody who knows how to punch is a 'KO' and maybe brain damage. have you ever thrown or took even a slap man ? lmao

How hard did Helena punch Indie in the face in order to knock him out for several days?? Omg, lol.

Im honestly shocked how bad the reception was for this movie, I had a great time with it and though there were a few questionable leaps in logic thats nothing new for Indy. Feels like complaining for complaining sake imo

I'm onna say it: this movie could have been amazing, and you wouldn't even have changed anything about the story. Just replace phoebe with short-round and that kid with marion, and it would've been a gold mine..

this chinese boy comes to class, answers all of indy's questions. He thinks a bit strange like he knows him somehow. Cut to the bar scene he's like: you look familiar, have I met you before? Shorty's like: dr. Jones it's me.. what short-round?

Now short-round steals the dial of indy because he came in dept to voller, did not know what to do, so he painfully betrays his old friend.

Because indy cares about him he goes after shorty, try and help him out. At the auction he bumps into marion who took a liking to the boy. They have a difficult scuffeling because the loss of their son and don't know how to handle it. In the end short-round helps them both back on their feet..

Just imagine how the audience would cheer if it was short-round going after the plane on the bike to save indy..

If the Nazis obtained the ark or the grail, Hitler could have triumphed.
The Thugees wanted the idol to hold over the surrounding villages and to have slaves.
The Soviets wanted the knowledge and power of the alien race, so they could rule the world.
If the Main character in this flick got the dial without any interference, nothing of consequence would happen (even though they left a wrecked plane in the past and Nazi uniforms).


This movie was such a fail.

Sadly I found Dial of Destiny worst than the Kingdom of Crystal Skull and that’s a lot to say about 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

There's lots of logic in the movie as long as you see old, white male heroes are bad.

You can't really complain this movie dosnt do anything that other indiana jones movies do

Soon may the algorithem come! to bring us viewers money and rum! one day when the posting is done we'll take our leave and gooo

Woke Disney magic.

Yet another IP destroyed by Disney

When all the modern material left in 213 BC, they didn't explained how the future didn't change

I love Crystal Skull. I will defend it to the end. This film is a piece of shit. And people who rank it above Skull and Temple can kiss my balls

Wasn't he always pretty insanely lucky?

i kept asking the same question during the movie, why the enemies don't use their guns, there are at least 200 times that they can pull the trigger, also what hapened to the germany plane in 200 BC? also why time travel seems so easy you either go here or go there? so many planes travel around they should be able to time travel by accident, but no. Also why Helena can back to their original time, what are the theories of time travel? why the roman army can shot down a plane so easy while it is so hard for even an anti-air gun? this is so dump at all

It's written as a videogame.

They turned the Antikythera mechanism into a time machine? That's just stupid. Not only that, but having a 1960s airplane crash in Ancient Greece and not have any repercussions after that is just bonkers. Archimedes just happens to be in the area, and... That's just many of dumb cliches in this movie. It's garbage Back to the Future. Doc Brown literally exploded.

I've been bitten three times by Scolopendra (centipedes). They are on you, they will bite you. It's like their mandibles are automatically biting all the time whenever their antennae feel something warm. These two should be writhing on the floor in pain, not unscathed.

This is what happens when you hire writers for social/political reasons and not competence.

you 'bursted'?? lol

As a person who never watched any other Indiana Jones movie other than crystal skull I enjoyed that movie in it's days

He hits people with his elbow in their chin, old or not that the strongest bone in your arm against the weakest facial bone. An old man can definitely hurt a young dude with a hit like that. And his punches have a very wide swing, the force of that wide a punch will hurt a young man, 80 or not. This is a bunch of nitpicking crap. He got criticism in skull also and he was built as hell in that movie, maybe yeh biggest he’s ever been no question a 66 year old that big could take on a younger man. That being said by 80 you definitely start to lose a lot of muscle strength. But if you spent your life in fistfights you know where and how to hit people in a fight and that’s more dangerous than brute strength.

Ford still had it, they did Indy dirty

I hate movies that won’t let characters sacrifice themself for something. Remember Finn ready to sacrifice himself for the Resistance, only for Rose to absolutely ruin that moment, oh my god I hated that shit. Finn sacrificing himself would’ve been a powerful moment that might’ve redeemed the otherwise crappy film for me.

Dr Jones IQ plummeted to room temperature 🌡 for the Disney ppl 🤦

The fact they undid the happy ending of Crystal Skull to basically make Indy just like the tired and depressed Han Solo of Force Awakens is basically just Disney again making another loved male character a joke to everyone.

Also, this movie was reshot a bunch of time, so Helena's sudden shift in character is probably a leftover from a previous cut.

Plus rumors about Indy dying at the end and being replaced, as Helena takes his hat to become Indiana Jones in a Disney Plus mini series were being said at the time and I don't doubt that.
