Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is A Disgrace 

Here we go again! Is this the end of Indiana Jones or Kathleen Kennedy? You can find me on Twitter and Instagram. And do the “Like”, “Subscribe” and “Bell” thing so you don’t miss a video. Stay Safe Legends!

My nephew is writing an entire essay and presentation at school about Kathleen Kennedy being the embodiment of how not to conduct business, or manage a company. I’m a very proud uncle.

Rey's smug "I bypassed the compressor" still makes me LOL to this day. Compressors aren't a thing you can bypass. They're inline because a process fluid needs to be compressed. If your whatchamacallit isn't working because the compressor isn't working, bypassing it just means now it's *really* not working.

You have to admire Kathlene's dedication to destroying the images of men that boys looked up to when she was young.

They killed his kid, separated from his wife & an alcoholic. Sounds like an amazing story, honestly WTF. Why would Harrison sign up to destroy a character that made his career.

Disney really managed to make 2 of the most beloved IPs and a whole billion dollar studio worthless in under 10 years. Genius.

Copy the stories (badly). Destroy the characters (maliciously). Step 3: p̶r̶o̶f̶i̶t̶

In my opinion the Last Crusade was the perfect ending to the Series with the three of them riding off into the sunset. Just like Return of the Jedi was the perfect ending to that storyline with Luke looking at the Force Ghosts of Yoda, Kenobi and Anakin as the movie ends.

Damn... Indy coming out of comfortable retirement to help Mutt save Short Round is such an excellent idea...

The time travel concept in this movie is more believable than two 70 year olds getting a divorce in the 1960's.

If it's one thing you can count on from Lucasfilm is heroes turning into failed bums.

Now imagine Indy's retirement as a joyful event. His last lesson ends with students' standing ovation and proffesor shedding a tear. He meets his wife, son, Salah and other friends at the party. He also meets Helena and Basil, but on a wheelchair. Then the plot with Dial may start...

Back in the 80's, we joked as kids that they will keep making sequels of our favorite movies until our heroes are old ass men.

This movie made me feel sorry for anyone who lives in Indiana.

We already saw old Indy in the TV series. And he wasn't sad and depressed. He enjoyed meeting people and telling them stories about his life.

Honestly the little kid going from never flying a plane to hot wiring it and flying it in a matter of seconds had me rolling. In the middle of a storm no less. Kathleen Kennedy is the embodiment of everything wrong in society.

love it when reviewers come up with better movie plots than, the writers of the movie who are getting paid thousands!! 😂

KK is making atheist believe in God because how she still has a job after killing Williow SW and now Indiana Jones is truly miraculous

Our theater ran Raiders of the Lost Arc during a tribute to great films awhile back. It was nice to see it in the theater again since the first time in 1982. The place was packed and at the end everyone applauded. I remember when people used to clap at the end of great films. Now it's like we're living in some horrible simulation where everything sucks and the worst people in the world are in control of everything, and no one is doing anything about it.

I'm positive that these Mary Sue's are how Kathleen Kenned feels about her self image.

I didn’t have much expectations going into the cinema today but it amazes me how far they’ll go to destroy the characters we love that the movie was even worse than I expected

Well, look at it from the bright side: at least Kathleen has destroyed every Lucasfilm property, so she's about done right.... right? RIGHT???

Rest In Peace Indiana Jones (1899 - 1969) One of Hollywood’s greatest heroes. He fought the Nazis, and the Soviets, yet he could not escape the wrath of Kathleen Kennedy. You will be missed my friend.

How come everyone can come up with a better story then the people who have the power to make the actual stories?

That was brutal, brilliant, perfect editing, delivery & funny AF. Damn Robot head, you're pretty sharp.

You know, Rome was famous for integrating technology that they were initially unfamiliar with. There's a story from around that time: the Romans managed to build a whole fleet of ships because one crashed as they just copied their design. Now I picture that in this world, that one meme about a Roman with a machine gun is historically accurate.

Don't be optimistic, Han Solo is an alcoholic in Disney canon too. Maz Canata has his medal because he sold it for drinks.

I taped a brand new ticket for this movie on a display and made sure it was visible at the museum of failure in brooklyn. 🤣🤣🤣

@1:10 holy shit. i had completely forgotten that Rey didn't even know which eye to close when she was aiming the blaster.

Phoebe Waller bridge as an action star is like watching a new born giraffe learning to ice skate. Googling droid literally shows pictures of droids. I will never forgive this woman for ruining the falcon.

While not from blue blood myself I move in posh British circles. Believe me, I've never met anyone who finds Waller-Bridge attractive. She's generally regarded as the bright quirky one you have to be nice to because you're interested in her sister.

Indies dad was successful and brilliant in his career but was a less than ideal father. It was a well written flaw that helped define Indie's character. They both loved each other unconditionally & absolutely as father & son, but each had their own flaws and struggles. It was fantastic character writing.

I was very disappointed that they killed off Indy’s son. If they have it in their mind that the next Indiana Jones movie passes the mantle off to his Goddaughter. That movie is going bomb.

The plot you made up and spouted off in 90 seconds sounded exponentially better than this movie.

I feel like Henry Jones Sr wouldn't have stood for this

Even the color tone of this film was so wrong. Indiana Jones films were vibrant and colorful ,promising the audience escapist fun. Dial of destiny has such a dark color grading that did not go well with the theme of Indiana Jones. Also, fantasy elements were missing from the trailer.

I thought when I saw Indy wanting to stay in ancient Rome, that he might get some sense of closure as a character, while also having the opportunity to learn and discover things, which seems on brand. But no, now he's depressed again lol

Ah yes, Disney, Kathleen Kennedy, James Mangold, Phoebe Waller Bridge, and everyone who've disgraced ALL other, once great franchises, have done it again. Disgracing the legacy and character of Indiana Jones, to the "surprise" of NONE.

One of the most wholesome things I ever read was (Short Round) Ke Huy Quan's account of running into Harrison Ford many years after they last met on the set of Temple of Doom. He was nervous because it had been so long, and expected to not be recognized for how old he was. Harrison Ford immediately recognized him and they had a bit of a joyful nostalgic reunion on the spot. Imagine if Kathleen Kennedy had made a story about the ('diverse' I might add) character who SHOULD have stepped into Indiana Jones' shoes, instead of trying to force a Harrison Ford character bend a knee to yet another self insert feminist bri'ish lady character with an unearned place in the story.

*_Personally,_* I enjoy spending a Saturday night paying dozens of dollars to watch my childhood slowly dismantled piece by piece. And thank you for so prominently featuring footage from the *_real_* Indy films to remind me of just that~

I agree that a better movie would be either Indy and Mutt teaming up to save Short round or Indy and Short round teaming up to save Mutt. Honestly however I feel the best way to do this movie would be a little lower stakes. Have it centered around recovering the Peacocks Eye that was from the opening scene of the Temple of Doom and make the Villians Chinese Triad gangs. Each movie dosen't need to have these world ending artifacts and a simple last "easy" adventure would be a better send off for Indy.

This is just a small tangent, but Harrison Ford in the original trilogy had the absolute best scruff look. There’s just something about day-old facial hair that can look really awesome, and he is one of the best examples of it.

do you think they killed off Indy's son just to make sure he isn't the one to be the new Indy....paving the way for his God-daughter? Cindy-Anna Jones

I am so glad I found your channel. I have went back through your catalog. Brilliant!

Another thing: Disney completely misinterpreted the "hate" that Mutt Williams got as a character. He was fine in the first film, up until the rope swinging with monkeys and other crap like that. He definitely didn't deserve to be killed off-screen, in Vietnam. And parents in the 1970s didn't get divorced that often. You're telling me that Indy got married and didn't have ANY more kids?? Why get married then...

I honestly was looking forward to the adventures of Indiana Jones and Shia LaBeouf after seeing the end of Crystal Skull. IF they had to make more movies that's what I would have wanted. This, is very far from that.

The Short Round missed opportunity is disgraceful, they did this in Force Awakens when they forever lost the chance of Luke, Leia and Han getting back TOGETHER on screen…. Totally unforgivable…🤬

Your comment about they don't write new stories, they just ruin old ones, really hit true. I get so tired of seeing the exact same plot in every movie today. It's getting so easy to not see anything these devoted communists intentionally ruin. Great video.

I like to think this movie takes place entirely within his head after he went upstairs to find something to show to the grandkids then he slipped and fell and sustained a severe concussion

As a German I was offended for a second and cinsidered using my free Krankenversicherung to get my feelings checked but then you complimented our cars and I was gud again 😂

Short Round telling Indy he loves him has more heart than anything in Crystal Skull. People slag off Temple of Doom, but that moment always makes me tear up. They had such natural chemistry that you absolutely believe that bond. I wish they’d addressed whatever happened to Shorty.

Frankly, I'd have more fun watching a cat cough up a furball than watching Fleabag. 😁

Bro, you gave us a way better script in a line that had such delivery that it felt like a casual throw away line with no thought behind it, but was still substantiality better then the script we ended up seeing finished on the screen 😂😭

The most unbelievable part of this movie is them trying to convince me that someone would date phoebe Waller bridge

I have to question everything when we look back at the Crystal Skull with fond thoughts….. ugh, how far we’ve fallen.

Hubris and narcissitic behavior has brought us to this point. I seriously can't fathom how KK has kept her job through all these absolute failures given how much Disney loves their money. Which BTW, to denigrate 'capitalism' (the line from Fleabag in the movie) is the purest definition of hypocrisy I can think of. Well done Disney execs! :)

What an adventure it could have been with Indy and Short Round (he was amazing in Temple of Doom) rescuing his boy. Sallah would have been needed too, along with Marion. Imagine to end all these decades of heroic adventures in glorious fun and victory, uniting us all once again in pure delight! Maybe in the future...with even better AI...

I kept waiting for Helena to bypass a compressor. But then I realized that this movie is Helena bypassing one big compressor, over and over in the audiences face.

KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL perhaps i treated you too harshly.

This Indiana Jones has no connective tissue to the previous films. I think what they should have done was have Mutt go MIA while in Vietnam, Indy not accepting this, a rumor swirling around that he was lost in the jungle searching for something linked to Atlantis ( or something else of that magnitude ) and make the final Indy movie about a father searching for his son and bringing him back home to his family. Mutt would be in the tail end of the film needing rescue ( mainly bc audiences didn’t like him ) but it would have been a father son story and more of a proper send off than the depressing shit we ended up with. It would have linked this final film to the others in a more meaningful way and actually given Mutt / Shia the opportunity to redeem the character, see him mature. Could have even added the line in there that a fathers love for his child is worth more than any silly artifact much like his father did to him at the end of Crusade.

The only part of this entire movie I liked was the sound design on that machine gun that was mounted on the back of the train. It sounded powerful and punchy as hell and when it was firing out of control it was cool. Unironically, that's the best thing in the whole movie lmao.

Firstly, I thought the film was fine. Watchable, unremarkable, and totally ok. But the point is well made and the film keeps asking us, ‘where does Indy belong?’ The answer? In the past. He deserves to be preserved as that late 30s Harrison Ford, Hollywood’s last true leading man, in the era which informed the tone of the property to begin with. That moment in Temple of Doom when the camera dollies in on him in the mine. The hero. That’s how we want to view Indy.

Well, at least there are no more franchises left for Lucasfilm to ruin...

6:50 that is exactly what this movie should have been. Indy, his son, and Short Round on one last adventure together.

Hearing old Harrison's voice coming from de-aged Young Indy was quite jarring.

This movie isnt even worth pirating. Your review is everything i need

SPOILER ALERT: This movie is already spoiled. By being made.

I have my own personal take on this movie, when Phoebe's character knocks out Indy she returns one week prior to the time she left, she then call's Indy's wife to ask him to come and be with him. So, none of the nonsense in the movie actually happens, it is all wiped out. Indy will figure this out when he returns to work and is once again presented with that clock.

I like your idea for a plot surrounding Indy’s son and Shortround. If time travel was the direction they really wanted to go tho, they should’ve had Indy’s son been presumed dead but Indy believes he’s lost in time or something, then he has to go and save him. Him and Marion could’ve split up bc she was trying to accept her son was gone and Indy wouldn’t give up looking for him. Maybe the British Mary Sue was Indy’s son wife/girlfriend and she had been searching with Indy so they have a solid relationship and chemistry, and a mutual reason for going on an adventure together. Indy could’ve been a defeated, depressed old man like Kathleen wants our favorite characters to be except it wouldn’t just be because he’s an old white man, it would be because of all the times he’s tried and failed to find his son. Just my idea tho lmao

Compare this movie to say, Uncharted 4. It had a similar situation with Nate. He retired from adventuring and was living a normal life with his wife. But he wasn't miserable. Sure, he missed the old days, but he knew it was behind him. And he was happy. It wasn't until his believed to be dead(and somewhat shoehorned in) brother cam back and pulled him into his final adventure.

Bloody hell, cutting to a shot of Kate Capshaw after a hundred stills of Phoebe Waller-Bridge was a shock to the system.

David Tennant's face when she was telling the Droid story was priceless

This is the best channel on RU-vid. Still cracking up at the cat yakking and the "MOLE" clip.

Sean Connery in the 3rd movie is old but still filled with life and spirit. The movie could have make it like the animation Up - old age can wear someone down physically but the spirit of adventure is always there waiting to wake up. Ahhhh what am I saying with Disney and KK behind this, its never gonna work not in a million years. I am now super happy boycotting Disney for destroying my childhood hero.

To be completely honest, the beginning was awesome. Seeing young Indy fight like he used to, and hearing the music from The Last Crusade, specifically the piece "On the Tank" brought a huge smile to my face when I saw it. If you listen to "Germany, 1944" you can hear some music from the Last Crusade in it, and it was awesome. The rest of the movie, questionable. I'd say that I strongly disliked Pheobe's character, they should have not included her and just had old Indy fight some more that would have been a lot better.

6:30 Robot's scenario for an Indiana Jones 5 reboot looks pretty cool ! Is Robot a genius or KK a terrible director ? My heart is torn between the two

Next Disney will be remaking THX 1138 just to ruin that as well. Poor George Lucas.

Did Harrison lose a bet where all the characters that made him big have to be torn down? Part of me almost feels sorry for him. Almost.

3:40 "German wearing, black dude" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Something I never understood is why he became such disliked teacher? In 1, 3 and 4, the students couldnt get enough of him. A girl wrote "love you" on her eyelids, they were fighting to get into his office in number 4 and his classes were full every time. This movie nobody even cared for some reason. He didn't even have anyone who want to fight with him. Number 1 there was Marion and Sallah, 2 there was Willie and Short Round, 3 there was his dad, Marcus and Sallah again, 4 there was Mutt and Marion again. For some reason, nobody liked him in number 5 and I don't get why. Sallah should've been the friend who went with him when he dropped him off at the airport or he shouldn't have split with Marion and she could've gone with him

Saw this in a VanityFair article that popped up: Dial of Destiny also transforms Waller-Bridge’s posh, brainy persona into an unlikely but bona fide action star: leaping across buildings, jumping off moving vehicles, punching villains, fighting off creepy-crawlies. “I’ve always been such a lanky, gangly kind of awkward physical person, so I was as surprised as you are,” Waller-Bridge says with delight. “I remember quite early on saying to Jim and Kathleen, ‘So I’ll be doing lots of training for my stunt debut?’ And they were like, ‘I think it would be funnier if you don’t.’" Ah yes, it's "funny" that slim woman can consistently knock out beef'd men, not "bad writing"; silly me

There are three Indiana movies, there are three Star Wars movies, that’s it.

This is going to make me unpopular but I took my dad to see it last night and we loved it

The fact that one trick pony Fleabag is a co-star says enough.

I can only dream that this pendulum swings back hard in the other direction and we see some amazing films that completely go against all the maligned interests of the current studio tyrants.

To be fair, a man like Connery never would've allowed himself to be emasculated on screen the way Harrison Ford has multiple times. When Connery "revisited" his most iconic character at an older age, he was still a total badass. While the characters ARE NOT actually the same (as I've seen far too many people trying to claim on the internet), Connery's character in The Rock is CLEARLY a wink-wink, nod-nod callback to his days as James Bond. And despite being 65 years old when The Rock was filmed, he was STILL the most badass character in the movie. What Harrison Ford has allowed his iconic characters to be turned into by scum like Kathleen Kennedy is totally disgraceful.

Now, I agree with pretty much everything you said here, and I normally do. You and I have very similar taste in movies, shows, all that. My only disagreement is that the time travel here is personally my favourite part of the movie. Hell, they could’ve had an amazing ending with Indiana staying in the past and that’s how his story ends, centuries before it begins. But no, they had to have his god daughter knock him out and take him back to the future. The second that happened, I checked out. I was mentally checked out through most of the movie but I found the time travel thing cool because the time period they went back to is very interesting to me. Also I found the Romans calling the olanes dragons pretty funny.

What Disney has done to these franchises is almost unforgivable.

So the ending is so bad that Indy would rather die than endure it.

That's really tragic the short round storyline would have been fucking beautiful, my gosh that hurts my heart. All my heroes destroyed in a couple of years and the internet writing better conclusions to all their stories.

A father looking for his son to continue his legacy is a universal theme whether it’s Mutt or Short Round. Missed opportunity for what reason?

1:47 FINALLY SOMEONE WHO POINTS THAT OUT. It's pissing me of when people say "Germans" instead of "Nazis". It's not the same, guys.

Your version with Indy pulled back into adventure by Mutt to save his friend is a brilliant idea! Shame Disney can’t seem to lean into the history and instead copy and paste scripts but with very expected outcomes/plots

Since Disney owns Fox now, I fully expect to see 93 years old and very, very retired Gene Hackman running around New York in French Connection III next.

5:21 10:39 14:03🤣🤣🤣 you had me crying. But 18:04 is how I choose to remember Indiana Jones.

Also: The Titan Sub had a better chance of being successful than Indiana Jones in a modern Disney world.

Because 15 years is to damn long to wait for it ..

This should have been about Indy and his son, similar to the last Crusade reconnecting with him, maybe he's had kids of his own and they have to go an adventure to save them or something and Indy connects with his grandkids. Also include Short Round maybe he followed in Indys footsteps but Disney hate family and legacy so we would never have got that

Damn. I would have loved some version of that "old Indy on one last adventure with Mutt and Short Round".

I would have watched your version in a heartbeat. In fact that is what I thought the movie was going to be like before I watched the trailers and heard about it.
