I sat down and watched the home video release on Digital of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. With the making of. The opening is exciting but it is the only part of the movie like the first 3. Except for one scene i changed my mind on the cgi it is mostly well done. I haven’t changed my mind about it being too digital or modern.

I have also changed my mind a bit on the score it is effective if not as rousing as the original trilogy.

The negatives isn’t that it is too long, it is that it is so boring. The maguffin is weak. All the complaints of Phoebe Waller Bridge aren’t warranted either, she is like the only thing in the movie with some spunk and life. The movie being boycotted over culture wars before a single frame was shot is insane.

I think all involved did a good job with all the difficulties of the production. Yes even Kathy Kennedy, she deserves some credit. Mangold had a difficult task on this movie. I salute the effort even if it is flawed.
