Only 15 more to go before it ties Crystal Skull!!

There's a hell of a bar...

Clay is in the bargaining stage of mourning at this point...

Hmm. I think for the most part people want Madden, or a football sim, they just want it to be of a much higher quality. I don't know if too many folks were actually asking for another Indiana Jones movie.

Firmly in the same score range as Blood Diamond, Back to the Future II, The Goonies, The Rocketeer, Fever Pitch, Coming To America...

Nothing wrong with a RT score in the 60s.

Just wait until I start comparing it to the high 60s next week.

Could this movie be as good as TRUE LIES? Or even ROCKY II? Yes, it COULD.

Wow.

"I lost count of the bodies early on."

There's some people ****ing dying in this one. LMAO

90 year old Indy doesn’t intrigue me. I still have the original trilogy to fall back on. My childhood will always love that.

LOL, that was also said about the Little Mermaid 2023

i will be a mess

Sounds like it suffers from all the same issues as all these Disney movies when it comes to undermining, emasculating, and pushing aside the main character in favor of an unlikable character. Major spoilers but not every last detail or anything.

Now we're crossing our fingers and hoping for mediocrity.

Well at least they let him have the center of the poster for his own swan song.

That was generous of Kathleen Kennedy.

Well, I think everyone with a functioning brain knew that was going to happen. It's just to what extent is the spoiler.

Is this shot before or after his annoying god-daughter shoves him out of the way to save the day?

GURL POWER!!

And for the record, none of these sins are a problem if it's just Karen !@#$ing Allen flexing some muscles and the story is less about passing the torch and more about finishing a story arc.

Mutt didn't doom Crystal Skull - a whole slew of other things did. But trying to foist a replacement on audiences in the midst of a GOOD movie would've made audiences cringe. Doing so in a bad one...well, we saw how that went.

I suspect this is gonna be roughly similar. And you'll be in here Last Jedi-ing it up just like the LAST time you tried to defend this dreck.

If it's as good as The Last Jedi, I'll be absolutely thrilled.

Ah man - Kate Winslet would've been great.

I would've been a fan of Rachel Weisz but it would be hard to separate her from her The Mummy role. But we've seen her in this TYPE of role.

He makes a really good point, though - making him just a grumpy old man being boxed out by this person that's 40+ years younger than him is going to make it all the more grating.

Oh, and also correct - who the hell convinced anyone that Phoebe Waller-Bridge can carry a major tentpole? An action/adventure movie at that?

what's the problem?

last jedi sitting at a comfortable 91% on RT

you should all be THRILLED with that movie

I think Last Jedi sucks personally, but a lot of that has to do with how JJ Abrams established Luke, Han, and Leia. I don't really know why you're so obsessed with RT scores, though. That metric has long since lost any sort of value, at least to me.

Oh yeah, the lightspeed battering ram sort of kind of breaks all continuity. Fantastic eye candy though, probably the coolest shot of the entire sequel trilogy.

this entire thread spent many pages obsessed with the RT score for indiana jones 5

now that the score is in it's favor, the narrative shifts! :LOL:

**** TLJ.

You can disagree with that sentiment, but you'd be wrong.

how dare you besmirch the conclusion of the legend of luke skywalker

you dishonor his great sacrifice

PFF rates Dial of Destiny higher than Rudy

This the same Last Jedi movie that’s sitting at 42%?

I haven't mentioned RT a single time, outside of stating it's worthless. Take that point up with the folks talking about it, not me.

91%

audience score was clearly incels

Hiring Phoebe Waller Bridge to continue your iconic IP is like deciding Adolph Hitler is the right guy to fix the problem in your Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department.

I hated Last Jedi, but honestly it's the one of the 3 that I remember and will most likely watch again.

The first one was MEH, the 3rd was not memorable at all.

295 million ****iing dollars. This thing is going to be a nuclear grade bomb based on the budget. Also, heh:

"He also had a generous studio budget (hefty development charges, plus extra pandemic costs: $295 million. “They met my terms,” said Mangold. “I had to screw my head on to the idea that I was essentially a pinch hitter for Babe Ruth. I had to understand my job was to move the batters, the men on base, and to play the game as well as I could, but not to try to rethink the whole thing. I didn’t feel like I had to play out some sort of rejection of his aesthetic. I’m a profound admirer.”

Aka don't blame me for this flaming bag of shit, just doing my jerb.

‘Dial of Destiny’ a fun farewell for Indiana Jones

If this doesn't break 900 million, it'll be the end of "woke " blockbusters.

Eventually there's going to have to be a serious course correction on how much these movies cost to make and promote. This isn't even a shot at 'wokeness' or whatever, constantly having to hit near a billion to break even, much less make significant profit just isn't sustainable long term.

This isn't one I'll see in a theater regardless. Has nothing to do with the movie itself, I honestly don't think I've been to a theater to see a movie since End Game and just no desire to go. Costs me & the family $100 minimum to go to a movie and I don't want to waste the money on a bad movie so I just wait for them to come out for streaming.

For me, if I'm iffy on a movie I look to the audience score verse the critics score.

absolutely crazy of you not to go see this in a theater

john williams is going to sound like shit on your tiny soundbar

It's a projector with a sound system, but I get your point. Venmo me $100 and I'll go see it.

I'm seeing it for $10 you whiner lmao

$10 x 5 = $50; popcorn, candy, pops = $50. I'll buy my own beers.

how about you just go yourself and tell the kids to pound sand :LOL:

you don't HAVE to buy food, either

jesus

Who watches a movie with no popcorn/snacks?

My point still stands..... I'm not wasting $100 on a movie that MIGHT be good.

Objectively speaking, it is good. 2/3 of people gave it positive reviews.

It's super easy to sit still and truly appreciate a movie without constantly shoveling shit in your face. Try it!

So bad it'll be buried with Melissa McCarthy movies all featuring the same typecast, snarky character?

That's pretty seriously bad.

Does George still own Lucasfilm because I don't think he ever had much dignity.

Ya'll complaining about a snarky female? Strong independent woman who don't need no man?

https://uproxx.com/wp-content/upload...ders-Punch.gif

Yeah, $300 million is just insane. And when they spend that much on production, you can bet their marketing budget will be something NEAR that on its own.

For reference, Raiders cost about $60 million when era adjusted. Is there any chance at all that this movie is better than Raiders? If not, why the hell should it cost 5 TIMES as much to make?

I mean you have live action Disney remakes costing $250 million+

This is completely untenable.

It's Disney owns it, and that's another reason this will underperform

As I said earlier - I'd have LOVED to see Marion in a major role here being all Ravenwoodey and what not.

I don't need some snot-nosed brat that's 40 years Indy's junior stealing his thunder.

Karen Allen had about 40 minutes of screen time in a roughly 2 hour movie. If early reviews are to be believed, THIS movie is essentially a Phoebe Waller Bridge vehicle that's used to tie up an Indiana Jones loose end. And by most accounts, the most enjoyable part of the movie is the first 20 minutes that don't have her in it.

Marion is such a badass character. And yes, a 'strong, independent woman' - but she's a worthy foil/ally of Indy's; a legitimate peer. She's not his ****ing wetnurse and the smartest character in the room every time she's on screen.

LMAO you haven't even seen the movie

all of the reviews say how great harrison ford is in this, with PWB serving as second fiddle, NOT the other way around

you guys are actively TRYING to hate this movie instead of just letting it be

hell, one of the reviews said OLD PEOPLE will enjoy it more

I haven't and will ever watch Rise of Skywalker, because I knew it would suck because Kennedy was involved

everything you post sucks because you are involved

I take the air away from people, it's a gift and a curse

Nor have you.

And you're actively TRYING to love it.

Again, this is TLJ 2.0.

I'm only going by reviews. The majority of which are positive and indicate a great sendoff for the character.

we are heading to 70% before the end of tomorrow, guaranteed

worst movie ever!!!

BTW, rumor is if Kennedy gets her Star Wars project The Acolyte she'll cast a trans actor/actress actor/actress as one of the protagonists( most likely Ellen/Eliot Page)
