Review of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) by Butterballer1 — 30 Jun 2023

Don't let the good first 20 minutes fool you. It IS as bad as they say it is after that. WOW. I'm sure others have already explained why by now but it was so depressing to watch this flop. Kathleen Kennedy is a destroyer of worlds and needs to stop intentionally inserting annoying standin characters for her vision of herself into every project she controls.

And why does every movie have to be 60 minutes too long while having no good reason for existing in the first place? Yeah, 1 might be a harsh, but it should really be a negative score because this is a franchise that anyone with half a brain could have written and been decent with very little effort.

Spielberg and Lucas have had their legacy annihilated.

This is truly the end of disney. It will lose HUNDREDS of millions it is so bad. Can't wait to hear what stockholders say this fall at the meeting after an entire year of massive failures as Tom Cruise takes the next mission impossible past 1 billion dollars, undoubtedly in less than 2 weeks. Indiana Jones 5 doesn't stand a chance at succeeding because it is a failure, through and through.

1 might be harsh, but it is well deserved since this should have easily been a home run with almost no effort. The people in charge had to actively go out of their way to make this film so frustrating and bizarrely bad. That's why, if I could give a negative score, I would.
