Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

[J4MES OX4D 10,064]

Absolute load of crap apparently. Prime example of a film that didn't need to be made or a story that needed to be told. Biggest gripe I have with these new Indy films is that they've lost the charm that the original trilogy had. The CGI in this one looks utterly shocking with its cartoony style and poorly done effects. That alone kills it for me - at least in the older films they were ingenious in dealing with tech limitations and stunts were done for real. The new ones just seem so lazy and artificial with a reliance on special effects. Such a wasted opportunity. If they went back to basics instead of going for these vastly exaggerated scenes then it would at least give the series back some style even with Ford being about 96 years old. The story doesn't seem to have any purpose either and doesn't do anything other that give Jones another adventure that he didn't need to go on.

 

Another landmark franchise trashed by Disney.
