Comments on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny — Olathe Public Library (2024)

What did you think about this title?

Possibly THE best one yet, but DEFINITELY a full five-star movie. Thoroughly entertaining from the first scene to the last.

fissures in time. unrealistic lame disney entertainment with dull story line. chase scenes using a moped cart??? way too long and boring. Indiana Jones sure is getting old.

Lots of thrills and chills. Good ol' Indiana Jones!

I didn't think any movie could be more boring than "The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", but "The Dial of Destiny" has won the competition hands down. It is a dull depressing interminable slog of a film unrelieved by even a hint of the wit…

As an Archaeologist, the way the artifacts and sites were treated was painful to watch, but I could overlook this because the movie is super enjoyable with great reference to the old series. It has good humor and balances the old fantasy…

It's way to long 154 minutes

lots of action and chase scenes.

Not the best Indiana Jones and not the worst- not great.

Do yourself a solid and go back and watch the original, or Last Crusade. You'll have kinder thoughts about all the principals if you give this episode a pass. It makes Crystal Skull look like a masterpiece.

It was just bad writing. They kill his son, make him live in a not so good apartment and a teaching job. It was lacking a lots. His son would have been a good addition to the saga. The ending was a lots of unexplained thing

Watchable. Not so great returns for Disney, but a good return on my investment: nothing. They apparently spent post-production money on digitally de-aging Ford. Why not get a younger actor? (And younger presidential candidates while we're…

Standard Indiana Jones movie, you get what you want and what you would expect ... lots of outrageous action, lots of fun, lots of adventure, and definitely worth a watch. Not as good as the 1st or 3rd Indy outings, but definitely better…

So sad to see how the Indiana Jones franchise has declined. The first movie was a revelation, such fun, and this one is senseless drivel regurgitating scenes from other movies, with few moments worthwhile watching.

General advice: don't listen to movie critics unless you know and trust their assessments. The Dial of Destiny got bad reviews so I avoided it until curiosity got the better of me. It's got all of the elements of an Indy Jones movie. …

95% of this movie is CGI. LOLIt's very good CGI but overall, this movie does not compare well to the original Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" way back in 1982.They did a good job of "de-aging" Indiana Jones, so he appears…

I am away til April 5th, please hold and my shelf when I arrive

Nothing new but they played the old formula well. Suspension of disbelief is also taken to new levels. Supernatural events can be manipulated by gears and dials created by Archimedes? The same Archimedes who played with sand to generate…

This was one of Harrison Fords low-rated action movies.Since he is getting old he should stick to dramas, maybe comedy.

Incredibly campy, and amazing that he filmed this whole thing in his 80s. It's not hard to catch the partial body shots where doubles are used. Still, if you liked the first three, it's basically more of the same. Would be better if it…

I was expecting another sequel (after many sequels) that leave you wishing they had let the series die a dignified death instead of beating a dead horse. SURPRISED! This beautiful finale had all of the action, fun, and some humor of the…

I was a fan of earlier Indiana Jones movies and this is no exception. Amazing how good Harrison Ford looks (he looks the same as he did in the early Star Wars Movies in the 70's) thats nearly 40 years ago!; he barely looks 40! in this…

Bloated and essentially ridiculous. Unfortunately.The neverending green-screen chase sequences here were reminding me of billionaire Steven Spielberg’s lame attempt to film the entire Tintin and Snowy series (by Belgium’s Hergé). (Where…

Fun movie. Story moves from 1944 to 1969 to ... Lots of action and chase scenes: car, motorcycle, train, boat, plane, touring cart, horse, van, on foot, by rope etc. Since the story is NOT time linear you have to pay attention and…

This was a pathetic conclusion to a great franchise and Harrison Ford should know when to say no to a script. At no point did one wonder what happens next because it was all too predictable. His two costars, the girl and the boy, were…

I liked it. Was just as exciting as the rest in the series.
