it was okay - not great, probably too long. also- when did it become okay to say things like "trigger-happy cracker" as a white racial insult? it's not... but it seems it's okay for Disney when it's used against white people, I guess.

Beginning starts off well, super dragged out and does not feel like a Indiana Jones movie. Plot bounces around too much. Very disappointed.

#disappointing

I was disappointed - it lacked the charm and humor that made the previous Indiana Jones films great and seemed like just another action movie. The chase scenes were drawn out and didn't make up for the lack of emotional depth in the storyline. Too bad because I love…

I wanted to love this movie, I loved the music, Indy, and characters. But this movie is illegitimately Helena the movie. She is downright disrespectful and rude, arrogant and just a stain on such an amazing franchise. Everything else was decent, but between her and her own…

A great ending to the franchise, ignore the naysayers! I was worried about the time travel element, but the writers handled it really well! Mads Mikkelsen makes a great villain and his acting was excellent. This is a really exciting and surprising film, with plenty of fun…

Spoilers…Meh…I Wish it would have been better! I don’t love or hate it. The opening of the film is the climax of the movie and from there it’s ho-hum with little ups and downs. At times this movie doesn’t feel like a Indiana Jones movie, it has little humor compared to the…

It's a good movie that has interesting story and the nostalgia is there 👍 But it's a very long movie that drags on a bit too much

This movie has it all! Action, nostalgia, great locations, fun plot. Harrison Ford is amazing (both young and old!)! A worthwhile addition to the cannon, I can’t wait to see it again.

they made up for the that awful crystal skull movie. Definitely action packed. Harrison Ford is still one of the greats at a modest 80 years old. good special effects and spot on acting with a few surprises from past characters in the Indy series. I won't give it away, but…

The movie was very dark for most of the movie. Why do they do that all the time. No color whatsoever. That was a disappointment. Great overall tho!

They didn’t f it up like the rise of skywalker🤷🏽‍♂️. Wasn’t fun watching an older Indy in Crystal Skull and it wasn’t fun in this one.

Brought back the amazing feeling of being 9 years and seeing Indy for the first time seeing a smart academic being the hero and wanting to be him!

Starts out well. Action packed, but not the humor of other Indiana Jones movies. Still enjoyed the movie and would recommend to others. We are not big movie goers, but did enjoy this .

The damn thing is fun. Mangold may not have the young Spielberg’s musical flair for extravagant action choreography (who does?), but he is a tougher, leaner director, using a tighter frame and keeping his camera close.

There are so many chase sequences in Dial of Destiny that the movie seems held together with slender bits of plot, rather than the other way around. Worse yet, they’re so heavily CGI’ed that they come off as grimly dutiful rather than thrilling or delightful.

Oddly, the comedy of this partnership is dialled down, and the film’s few wisecracks don’t really land. It’s adventure, though, that everyone really wants from an Indiana Jones movie, and on that front it delivers and then some by prising open the old box of tricks and performing them one-by-one with care and respect. Add to that the rousing familiarity of John Williams’s score, and it all amounts to a comforting if not especially challenging reboot.
