Drinker's Chasers - Indiana Jones 5 Savaged By Critics 

It’s ironic that Pheobe’s character drones on about how Indie desecrates cultures, when that’s exactly what she’s doing with his character.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge: "NOTICE ME!" Everyone: "Who are you again?"

"Disney ruined a franchise by turning a beloved male protagonist into a withered weak old man, replacing him with a younger female protagonist who is superior to him in every way?...That's surprising!" - No One Ever

“The bathroom break I took whilst the movie was running was more exhilarating”

How hard would it have been to bring in Harrison Ford and Karen Allen, have the classic classroom scene followed by Indy coming home to a loving wife and a quaint home. He sits down at his desk with a scotch and picks up a little bit of memorabilia from his extensive travels and it fades to a flashback of a much younger man obtaining or interacting with said memorabilia? Boom, instant hit and well done honoring the source material, character, and original actor while managing to pass the baton to a new actor to take up the mantle. And I'm just an idiot who comments on RU-vid.

It's hilarious how Disney has so much confident with this movie to the point that they're premiering it early at the Cannes Film Festival only to have the movie being destroyed by the critics a month before it's actual release😂😂😂

I really really want to know who is protecting Kathleen Kennedy. What blackmail does she have in a safety deposit box on Disney execs?

This is a movie no one wanted made for a demographic that has never cared. No real person has ever said “I can’t watch Indiana Jones because I’m not represented in its lore”. Everyone loses, especially Lucas Film.

The whole point of Indiana Jones is he's an homage to the adventure serials of the 30's and 40's. That's the time period the character belongs in. It's also why the Brendan Frasier Mummy movie worked. It was going for the same sort of feel and the era and setting is important to that.

I saw the detailed plot spoilers today and they really managed to meet every bad expectation we had, thanks Disney.

Indiana Jones ended with The Last Crusade.

Indiana Jones show ended at The Last Crusader. Change my mind.

Part of the appeal was watching the line draw across the map as Indy caught trains and steamers to reach remote and exotic places in a world that was much bigger back then.

Mild conspiracy: usually these films get press attention and backlash (for sucking) and then the studio paints it as all sexism / racism, leading the mainstream press to suck off the movie. However, by showing it early before this process occurred, they allowed the press to write what they actually thought, which resulted in them getting the reviews they actually deserved.

The moment they brought in Waller-Bridge - you kinda knew how it was going to go. She'd be the main star, she'd be obnoxious, arrogant and entitled. She'd endlessly upstage and berate him: while he'd bumble around looking foolish and helpless, and needing her to rescue him again and again.

Kathleen’s female characters always have an arc. They have to realise they were perfect the whole time.

Kathleen Kennedy must have the Ultimate Job Security to not get fired from Disney even after all her Self Insert movies bombed harder than the USA did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The reason that first three Indiana Jones movies were great is that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg respected the time period of the 1930's. George was a big movie serial fan which inspired Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Recalling the Drinker’s thoughts of Sean Connery in The Last Crusade where the story could have been about Indiana trying to keep up with his hard core worldly father-a James Bond type. Though always looking at his son as still the small boy finally realizing he is a man and can hold his own. They should have told that story with Indiana trying to teach a youngster how to survive and keep an open mind. And the youngster finally realizing the old man still has what it takes to get the job done and deserves the respect for decades of adventure and saving the world from fascism.

Johnny English reborn was able to pull off the aging hero genre very well. They show the youthful henchman able to jump around and tackle with ease while Johnny rides an elevator to the ground floor. He has a training montage to let the audience know he's doing still strong.

When is Disney going to realise that they have to can Kennedy? Surely they're long past that point by now?

At this stage they could reboot Howard the Duck and make the original seem like a beloved cinematic classic.

Marion didn't have to SAY she's beautiful and daring. We could tell.

I completely agree with Mauler, when he said ppl develop a new appreciation for the previous stuff. When STD came out, I developed a new appreciation for Star Trek 5; and when the Disney Star Wars movies were released, I developed a new love for the Prequel trilogy.

I strongly think Disney is using Lucas Film as a tax write off at this point.

What bothers me about movies is that if the attitude was done by a cafe, they'd go out of business. "This cake isn't what you asked for, and if you don't like it, you're the problem."

They should have made a film version of the "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" TV show. Have Ford as old Indy narrating an adventure from his teens.

If the reports that Iger told Kennedy the movie has to make $900M to ptevent her humiliation on the way out the door this could be a deliberate move on his part to ensure he gets to claim her scalp as she leaves.

aka. Diana Jones and the Tampon of Time.

Genuinely...this is tragic for what is an iconic cinematic character.

The entire point of both Star Wars and Indy was a revival of the old serials with clearly drawn good and bad guys. Now they are making them into what they were rebelling against: gray lines.

I just looked up the runtime for Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is 115 minutes. That is a PERFECT length for this type of film.

The qualities of Indiana Jones that they are portraying as negative (being out of sync with the time in which the story takes place) are precisely the qualities which made the character popular with audiences in the real world when he was introduced. And the producers don't understand that.

Kathy is completely in love with herself and probably surrounded by yes-people so I think she REALLY felt this was going to do well. 😂

My favorite scene was when Indiana put on the fedora, and reflected "this hat is perfect" to which fleabag responded "it will be once it fits a woman" and then she took the hat put it on and said "now it's perfect". Indy tried to protest so she aimed a machine gun at him, pointed to her eyes and said "look at me, look at me, I'm Indiana now" and then with the hat and the machine gun went to kill all the nazis, embarrassing the all male inglorious basterds as well...

My favorite time of the week, when Drinker tricks me into watching a full stream by cutting it up in 3 smaller videos.

I have one idea in mind. Kathleen Kennedy wants to destroy everything Lucas has made, and she knows she can do it. It's a personal feud.

If I'd insisted, I could maybe have seen it last week -- but I just did not even vaguely want to. In an obviously studio-mandated interview point in the local French Riviera Press, Ford claimed that he only wanted to make this fifth one under the "condition" that he had a female "equal". Which is obvious bollox. I did attend one extremely early fan screener for a movie that the studio hated -- the actual, original Donner cut of Superman II about 9 months before they released the studio-edited version. I loved it -- it's the best version of that film I've ever seen, (despite no Marlon Brando) and I think it's lost forever. As to Indiana Jones -- the very premature death of River Phoenix, the only other actor than Ford to have nailed the character, seriously harmed that franchise.

I was a huge IJ fan 15+ years ago - I even have a film accurate Raider's jacket and Fedora - but 4 was such a disappointment that I checked out at that point. I won't even go to the theater for this.

This is the Die Hard 5 of this franchise - people all hated on Die Hard 4 (because of the pg-13 rating in that case), but once Die Hard 5 came along - the yippy ki yay mother russia one - people were like "oh maybe Live Free or Die Hard isn't that bad after all - it ain't the first 3 - but it's not as shit as we first thought"

Doesn't Disney have to answer to shareholders many of which might not be happy with Disney getting involved with identity politics

Bit of a tangent, but bear with me... Watching interviews, outtakes and bloopers from _Seinfeld,_ it's interesting how the cast is in awe of the older actors, such as the late great Jerry Stiller (George's father). These are young, hilarious and exceedingly talented people who regard their seasoned, experienced counterparts with the utmost admiration and respect. They see them as wise mentors from whom they have much to learn, even as the _Seinfeld_ cast was clearly at the top of their game. Part of this postmodernist tyranny we see today is the rejection of *EVERYTHING* from the past. *Nothing* can be learned from your elders. Experience is irrelevant because everything that happened before yesterday is evil. Consequently any older generation must be roundly mocked, their wisdom belittled, and their avocations destroyed. (This of course includes any franchise they may have enjoyed.) Indiana Jones simply cannot be depicted in this culture. Aside from the logistical silliness of a 70+ year old man adventuring, even thematically it would never have worked. The movie can't hate its own lead. It simply should not have been made. As far as I'm concerned, it wasn't. I am quite content in my belief that these films comprise one of the best *TRILOGIES* of all time.

If you look at phoebe waller bridge and daisy ridley they look exactly like kathleen kennedy when she was younger. Shes inserting herself into these movies and its plain to see

Sounds like Indiana Jones traded his whip for the Doctor Who teddy bear.

Kk's contract with Disney must be like the one Arial signed in the little Mermaid. "Legal, binding and completely unbreakable" That must be the only reason she hasn't been fired

Indiana Jones is a trilogy. Always was, still is, and always will be.

I essentially said the same thing that Chris did on a Nerdrodic video. Maybe Iger is opening the door as wide as he can for KK to fail because she just makes his job harder so we'll be treated to a corporate passive aggressive back and forth until one of them leaves.

This seems deliberate on Iger's part to me to throw KK under the bus. No way they thought they were going to get good reviews for this mess.

The chance of me watching this film was already really thin after Crystal Skull. I will just stick with the first 3. I just ordered the first season of Young Indiana Jones dvds. Hoping they are at least fun.

The saddest thing about his age is that Ford is 80 years old, but in the year 1969, Indy should only be 70 since he was born in 1899. So, the character appears more aged than he should.

Indiana Jones and the Diarrhoea of Dysentery: There are three Indy films and Lucasfilm stopped existing the moment the evil mouse bought it. Speaking as a Brit I apologise for Phoebe Waller-Bridge. While she was a darling of UK media I don't know a single person here who doesn't roll their eyes and sigh if her name is mentioned... that was the case - she's pretty well forgotten here but for occasional embarrassing talk show appearances.

Since Lucasfilm has officially killed all of their franchises I can’t wait for the announcement of a live action adaptation of Monkey Island because video game moves are totally a thing now. 🙄

Imagine if Indy 5 or the Last Jedi was treated more like Clint Eastwoods Unforgiven. An old gunslinger pulled into one last fight with an old foe. That is something I'd be down for

I work at a movie theater with 22 screens and can confirm the interest in advance tickets is very low. 32 tickets sold for our 7pm IMAX on the Thursday opening night. 3/4 of the auditorium is unsold.

I heard the best scene is when Harrison Ford puts on his hat and says "its Jones'n time" and punches bad nazi man who is bad.

It might be a nitpick, but for me, the title itself told me pretty much what I had to know. If you seriously think thats an ok title, then god bless ya James Mangold.

Someone said it was a strategic move by Eiger against KK...

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will still be terrible regardless of how bad this movie is

How broke is Disney right now ?? They usually pay off IGN lol. 😂

kathleen kennedy should have just stuck with bringing coffee to the real creative people.

If I was a Disney shareholder I wouldn't be thrilled with the idea of the CEO intentionally tanking a movie and potentially losing hundreds of millions of dollars so he can fire a studio head that should have been fired 5 years earlier.

Indiana Jones and the dial of dissapointment

There are only 3 indiana jones movies

The smirk of Echo Chamberlain at the beginning of the video due to Drinkers Robo Cop voice is just comedy gold

The idea of the 2010s being "back then" makes me feel old

I am a Gen-Xer so all of these movie franchises (Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Terminator, Aliens, etc.) are great memories of my youth. I imagine I speak for a lot of people my age when I say how utterly sad, frustrating and anger inducing it is to see one famous franchise after another get destroyed by the mega-corporations and talentless woke "creatives". These movie franchises along with epic literary works from Tolkien and others are golden IP. All any writer or director has to do is simply not fuck up the great things that have already been done. Just roll with the timeless narratives and heroic characters. Take the Peter Jackson approach and you could create enduring movie legacies. Nope, can't do that. These people whose collective talent and creativity couldn't power a light bulb intentionally take great stories and characters and not only bungle them, but actively destroy them. They emasculate the male characters, destroy the feminine side of the female characters, rob the humor from all the characters and dollop on loads of often poor CGI as a replacement for any form of a coherent or enjoyable story. Occasionally a movie like Dune comes along to give you hope but that seems rarer and rarer. RIP Indiana Jones, you deserved better than this.

Indiana Jones' Final Movie Idea: Indy is an elderly retired professor, recounting his memoirs to a scribe/ghostwriter - or maybe to a psychiatrist. This is the whole movie. Two men talking. Mostly Indy. Indy starts out all jovial recalling his younger days when it was all swashbuckling and getting the girl, but gradually starts talking about the darker things he's seen and done, about the people he's killed, about dealing with the trauma etc etc. And to be really gutsy, don't use flashbacks. It'd be a great character piece, and a chance to give the character the gravitas a man of Harrison Ford's stature deserves.

Playing devil's advocate here: We have seen many, MANY films in the recent past that the critics hated, but audiences loved, and was reflected in wildly different RT percentiles. And that sort of review dissonance was applauded and praised by most anti-woke RU-vid channels like Doomcock, Midnight's Edge, and Drinker. So personally, I won't immediately rule the film out, though I'll keep my healthy dose of cynicism intact.

Indiana Jones was my childhood idol, like any kid growing up in the 80's! The Last Crusade was the final Indy film as far as I'm concerned! I saw Raiders in the cinema when I was 5, Temple of Doom when I was 8 and Last Crusade at 13! I grew up with Indy. The final film at the end of the 80's, perhaps one of the greatest decades to be a kid! This travesty should never have happened. Indy should've been left as a legend of cinematic history. The Last Crusade immortalised Indy, it should have been left that way!!

A more apt title would be "Indiana Jones & the Dire of Disney."

I've been waiting until my kids are old enough to show them Indiana Jones. You know, the ONLY THREE Indiana Jones movies.

Forget the Dial of Disaster - Fathom Events is re-releasing Indiana Jones: The Temple Of Doom the first week of June - go see that in a Theater instead. Would be hilarious if we could get it with more traffic than the Dial of Disaster.

I loved Harrison Ford as an 80’s kid but then I noticed in interviews that he was always a disgruntled movie star annoyed by his own success. I thought maybe he was a real artist and would start pushing himself to make movies that told poignant stories from an interesting perspective but he just made decently watchable movies. And now to end it like this? I hope it was worth the paycheck.

I think of all the past winners of the Palme D'Or, as I imagine elderly Indy attempting to steal the trophy buried deep inside an ancient temple full of deadly booby traps, and breaking his hip as a giant boulder rolls over him.

Suprising that Martin Mcdonagh is so creative with that drag of a missus.

I just wonder how Harrison Ford feels now that all of the characters that made him famous have been destroyed.

When will the epic profit loss be too great for leadership and investors to stomach?

Just wait for the Casablanca sequel where Rick's is an internet cafe in Seattle's thug-occupied CHAZ and the bad guys are the police and fire departments trying to rein in violence and arson.

The only Phoebe that any one wants to see is in a café talking-to her Friends.

With this movie, I'm not even concerned about identity politics or anything of that nature, but I just don't wanna see an 80 year old Indiana Jones. That's a horrible idea!

I cane across a thing online that was talking about Indy not having a gun holster in this one. I didn't really look in to it so i don't know how true or hoe intentional that is on the part of the writers, but yeah it does reflect the a change in the eras from the 1930s to the 1960s. Remember when Indy casually murdered the swrodsman who was showing off his sword swiging skills? No way would the Indy from this movie so casually kill random bad guys. At most you'll see a baddie fall from the top of a moving train or from the back if an open aeroplane, but there's bo way he will kill anyone.

Looks like Indy 4 is more heartless than Mola Ram's stag night.

the real reason harrison ford was tearing up at the movies was cause of how shit this movie is

I loved the first 3 Indiana movies, I put up with the Crystal Skull, I will not ever watch this latest one.

Drinker's main channel video on Indy 5 has gone fully mainstream on RU-vid. 1.6M views so far in the first 24 hours and #49 on Trending. It'll be interesting to see what the RT Audience score is after it's official release. It may indeed be DOA. And that will be fine. And Disney will give Kathleen Kennedy a rousing ovation at her retirement party.

Clint Eastwood Was 78 in Gran Torino. Near Enough The Same Age As Harrison When He Shot This. Hard To Believe Han Solo And Indy Rolled Up and Died In The Corner While Dirty Harry Is Still Being Bad Assed.

Indiana Jones ended with him riding off into the sunset with his father, Sallah, and Brody. You cannot, will not change my mind about this. It’s called The *LAST* Crusade for a reason.

South Park need to do a nother indy episode

The Dire lost destiny......

Only one thing wonkier than this movie. Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s left eye.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

I never would have guessed that Lucasfilm under Kathleen Kennedy would have a strong female character and completely immaculate the male lead.

Don’t tell me, he doesn’t even use or fire his pistol?

2:40 -- RE: "... Becuz there's a lot of Fans out there who are gonna be pissed off if this isn't good... "; You have a talent for understatement at times, Critical Drinker! Speaking as a long-time fan of the franchise, the thing which pissed me off before I even saw it was being able to predict what "Dial of Destiny" would mean in terms of the McGuffin. The Antikythera Device is *NOT* Magic, is *NOT* Science Fiction, and *CAN* be viewed in a museum. That's a McGuffin unlike *EVERY OTHER FILM* and make no mistake, it has everything to do with *THE MESSAGE* as well as finding backhanded ways of denigrating and devaluing the accomplishments of Western Civilization on the whole. This goes to show us how creatively bankrupt Hollyweird is, considering how "Access Media" is already willing to concede it sucks and hard.

First a plane crash, now a car crash. Poor Harrison. 😢

Phoebe gets a lot of hate for taking this role, and I agree it’s going to be terrible. But why doesn’t Harrison Ford also get hate for taking this role? He could’ve refused to help them destroy not only Indiana Jones but also Han Solo.

Indiana Jones and the Empowered Perfect Female Lead who is better than him in every way and you WILL like her better presumably wouldn't fit on the poster.....

The Dial of Disaster... is yet another of the Kathleen Kennedy's heavy handing of yet another franchise to have HER desired direction of super talented women aided by a 'side-kick' bumbling man - see The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan, The Mandalorian (Season 3) and the much hated, 'Sequels'! Well, most of us can't understand how KK still has a job, let alone destroying all the Lucasfilm products so she will leave her mark, that is a given! KK's EGO is the biggest issue about how Lucasfilm has spiraled into the putrid state it is in :D

At this point Disney's executives are so out of reality and into their own world that there's no coming back. No review will be needed from now on, if Disney did it will be bad, no reasons to look forward to their next project

No one will watch this. No one. Why would anyone pay (in time or money) to watch two spoilt brats (KK and PWB) smash up all their favourite toys? I’m guessing both KK and PWB were a little unloved as children and found it difficult to play with others. I blame their parents.
