A great movie and connection to the cult character that is IJ. A must watch!!! :clap:
I honestly liked this and had a lot of fun. The de-aging technology is fascinating, but all the high-tech SPFX detracts from the old-fashioned heart behind Indy, IMO.
As someone who's fascinated by the Antikythera mechanism, I found the premise of this movie interesting. They decided to bring back the Nazis as the great collectors of ancient world's wisdom, who then plan to bring it back to modern day innovations. Although the Nazis are portrayed as Indy's opponents throughout this franchise, I can't help but notice the irony.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the standout performer in this movie in my opinion. Her work here made me add Fleabag to my watch list.
Sad to hear that it is the last Indy Jones movie as it is one of my favorite adventure movies ever!
It's not the best Indiana Jones movie out (that's the third one in my opinion) but it's easily on par with the first two movies and much better than the Crystal Skull. It's just a bit too long - shortening or skipping one of the car chases would have been good.
The end was nice, but I hoped they let him stay and enjoy the past.
This was a ton of fun, and a clear redemption from Crystal Skull. The plot moves at a breakneck pace and the action is everything you could want from an Indiana Jones movie. A lot’s been said about the flashback sequence that starts the movie, and yes - the de-aging technology isn’t convincing (Indy looks a bit like a video game character in certain shots). But give me a globe-trotting adventure with ancient relics and yet another banger score by John Williams, and I’m happy.
The first movie I've seen in a long time where I haven't been checking my watch half way through. Especially given it's over 2 hours. This was a great entry and a well crafted final chapter.
I loved every minute. If I take the nostalgia out of the first 3, I'd put this up there with them. Possibly even bestest a couple of them.
Nostalgia is a powerful force that isn't always a good representation of reality.
a great ending to a great saga, glad i could finally have witnessed a movie from a franchise as legendary as Indiana Jones, in the big screen, it was worth it honestly; not a big fan of Steven Spielberg but i love how he managed to blend history and adventure so well in these movies
loved the little hints to the previous movies here and there
also, Mads Mikkelsen was amazing as usual, and i had no idea he spoke german so well? damn
and the ending where they meet Archimedes and actually managed to travel back in time was a neat little twist to the story
can't believe Harrison Ford really pulled this one off at 80 years old, quite the feat, props to this old legend
Dial of Destiny not up there with the original trilogy but I still really liked it. Entertaining story, exciting locations and set-pieces and good chemistry between Ford and Waller-Bridge. The story get‘s a bit silly towards the end imo but the actual ending and an unexpected guest appearance definitely made up for it. It‘s honestly quite sad that this will be the last time we‘ll get to see Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones but I guess all‘s well that ends.
Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones, thats the truth of the matter and at least this one didn't have aliens. Honestly enjoyed it and it had the same feeling from the old movies with the Indiana Jones tune which we all love. It was a fun movie to watch and enjoy, not as ridiculous as the 2008 Indiana Jones with Shia LeBeouf that was overboard.
They tried to give this an authentic feel and with the right ingredients for an Indiana Jones adventure, honestly watch it and enjoy. I know I did.
I just loved this final chapter.
Legend has it, that the script took forever to finish. Every time they finished a line, it disappeared
They really said Fuck Wandavision here. As if any of that character growth and emotional journey had never happened. Plus, the dialogue was flat and full of clichés and what kind of unearned plot device is a randomly convenient Memory Bank? Ugh.
nothing great about this one - a basically harmless. Crawl was a much better chomp movie.
Are you feeling nostalgic for movies like Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Elektra, Ghost Rider and The Punisher?
Well, you’re in luck.
Easily the worst comicbook film since Hellboy (2019), but I doubt that’s to many people’s surprise.
It’s produced by Avi Arad and written by the guys who did Power Rangers, Gods of Egypt and The Last Witch Hunter.
Its director has never made anything noteworthy, and the lead is an overrated, pretentious hack whose performances have derailed many films over the past ten years.
It’s exactly what you think it’s going to be: dated, nonsensical, overblown and completely soulless.
It’s got crappy acting, predictable story devices, weak dialogue, weird editing choices, everything looks cheap and blue; you probably get the gist of it by now, especially if you’ve seen those movies I mentioned earlier.
This is nothing more than a quick cash in by a studio who thinks they can sell anything for as long as you slap Marvel’s name in front of it.
And they’re probably right, so who can blame them for making it?
2/10
If you want to die, just blow your brains out with the Dethroner. jeez
After watching this, I was asking myself:"What the heck did I just watch?".
I don't reallly understand the bad reviews for this movie because I liked the serious tone and the grittiness of this movie.
Another thing I liked about this movie compared to the disney movie is that I didn't feel any safety for the characters.
Voice acting was top notch and Rohan Chand as Mowgli was great too.
But there are some flaws here and there the cgi is a bit ehhh and you need to get used to the hybrid faces for the animals which wasn't really an issue for me personally but It may be for some.
All in all I found this movie really interesting and I liked how dark it was and surprisingly it worked.
Maybe you should give it a shot.
I rate it an 8/10, can't wait to see more of Andy Serkis as director!
This movie was indeed not like the 2016 or 1967 adaptation, it was darker and I loved it, easily one of my favorite movies of 2018.
Its a great film!
Its a great film!
Its a great film!
Its a great film!
Don't listen to all the avacado toast eaters giving poor reviews... if you love sci fi.. it's a good watch with a good twist.. and it's free so stfu
Dr. Phibes had supposedly died many years prior, but in the mid-1920's why he the only suspect is a serious of very strange deaths. Dr. Phibes, if he's still alive is gaining revenge on the doctors who let his darling wife die. But Dr. Phibes is killing in a meaningful way, by using the 10 curses visited upon the Pharaoh in the Bible: from frogs to locusts to rats to death of the first born son. Inspector Trout and Sergeant Schenley are on the case but seem to be too late in every case to stop the deaths from happening.
Extravagant sets and ingenious deaths, Dr. Phibes is the precursor to films like Seven, where serial killers use religion as their trademark kill. The film is serious but also filled with a wry wit which makes it much more intriguing to watch than had it tried to go be a straight horror film.
Why not cast Grant Gustin for the part? He is definitely the greatest Barry Allen ever, and a great young actor!
Edit 2022: OK, Ezra, move aside, it's Grant's turn!
I do not deny Ezra was good too, and that the last seasons of Flash have been week sauce (I do agree that most baddies are converted to good after a nice speech, nonetheless I'll keep watching it till the end, I'm that kind of viewer...), but Grant is an established Flash, great actor and apparently a calmer human being than Ezra at the moment. :P
Sorry, I'm team Grant! :)
