a deeply committed Ford here gets a chance to wash the bad taste of Crystal Skull out of everyone's mouths, and he hasn't lost a step since 2008. In fact, he weirdly seems to have gained one, perhaps because the screenwriters and Mangold have devised action sequences credible for Ford's advanced age rather than ones that constantly beggar belief.

Not to put to fine a point on it, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (as screened at San Francisco's magnificent Metreon IMAX theater) gave this critic one of the most satisfying moviegoing experiences of his life—or as Helena describes it, "A final triumph...Indiana Jones, back in the saddle."
Mangold's film burnishes the Indiana Jones legacy by crafting a fulfilling and moving finale for the character, with an ending that will give true fans the chills.
Indy's latest and last magical mystery tour only provides fan service by being a great Indiana Jones movie, and I won't knock it for that (callbacks are few and organic).
Even with Lucas and Spielberg stepping down to executive producer status, this movie truly, madly, deeply understands the character of Indiana Jones and the choices he'd make.
Don't let anyone—film critic or otherwise—tell you this is anything less than a great Indiana Jones movie. Congratulations, Disney. I can't wait to get on this ride again.
