If that bothers you about him, you will be flat out irked at what Helena does .

She's already hired and fired 3 directors ... and next week will be saying she never made this announcement ...

*Dig at the Fiege SW movie that never existed according to her.

I just saw the movie last night. It is most definitely an improvement from the last movie, but not on par with the first three. Like Star Wars, they just waited too long to make the fourth movie in the franchises and just couldn't recapture the magic from the previous films. Part of the problem is we, as the viewers, have changed from the time that the original trilogies were made. Most of us were kids when we watched the originals and are no longer the same people that we were back then and wont' have the same sense of awe we experienced watching the earlier movies.

The movie is decent, but really felt way too long. It has the same silly contrived chase sequences, running around the globe to look for that special artifact. But, with Harrison being so old now it seems silly and you're just waiting for the big payoff toward the end when you find out what the ancient gadget can do and the aftermath of it being used.

really? That's a worthwhile discussion? If you care that much about the topic just look at the history of the British and where all the artifacts came from in the British museum of history... then you can just let a movie be a movie.

Anybody care to make a reviews thread?

Now Harrison Ford has played both Han Solo and Indiana Jones in 5 movies and 1 TV show each.

C'mon, does the Holiday Special really count?

For a second I thought I missed a really cool episode of The Mandalorian.

"'I'm still happy I made that movie . . . the checks bought so much weed."

I am happy to hear that, but jaded on Ford's authenticity anymore.

Lip service. At this point, Kennedy's say on this franchise's future likely holds little influence at the mouse house. Dial of Destiny lost the company over $130 million, Lucas is retired and Spielberg has already moved on from the series. There is zero doubt Disney will reboot Indy one day (likely without input from any of them), it's just a question of if they have the courtesy not to do it in Ford's lifetime.

Yeah, there won’t be another Ford Indiana Jones movie. Dial of Destiny was his swan song. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t a particularly good send off, IMO. The most regrettable thing to me is that it was really only a handful of tweaks away from being a great send off.

But hey, the adventures of Indiana Jones and his bitch god daughter is cool too.

I had lunch with my dad yesterday and he pulled out a belated Christmas present: a Helena Shaw action figure. I chuckled and asked if he'd kept the receipt. He said "Eh, it was only $4 at Ollie's". I joked that he still overpaid, but I guess it was worth it for the "Build an Artifact" piece (the front of the skull alter from Temple of Doom) the figure comes with.

I still don't fully understand the hate this movie got. It wasn't amazing but eh, I still liked it better than two other entries.

So funny you mention that. I saw it in my Ollies yesterday when I was looking through the aisles and noticed that specific figure and wondered, "How many disappointed kids got that for a stocking stuffer this year for Xmas?"

But then I remembered that kids don't play with or collect these things as much as adults do nowadays.
