Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

I watched this movie Christmas Day. I ordered this with the understanding it was coming after Christmas, but got it in two days--just in time for Christmas! So far I have seen this DVD on sale only on Amazon. Walmart doesn't have it--I went there personally to check. Strangly enough not even Target has it--I went there personally to check! I guess they are allowing Amazon to bring in the stash of cash all by themselves without any competition. I would have picked it up at Target if they had it because I wanted it right away. But Amazon delivered. I was screaming in delight later in the movie to the scenes that could have been designed for Star Trek the Next Generation. It is an over the top never ending thrilling movie from the start to end. You're in the 40's then the 60's, in the Middle East, Sicily, caves, underwater, planes, you name it! I was just thinking where are the large black spiders when there were cave scenes. It was only a few seconds later, there were jungle sized bugs! You get it all in this movie. You will have to love the final scenes & the ends to the Nazis. Scrumdiddlyumptious. I was literally out of my seat with total surprise & delight. I had to check online to try to see if the subway stairs & horse scene was fake, but for the moment, I was not able to find out. In any case, the horse remained unharmed as I am sure some parts of the scenes were designed not real. This is not to say that if indeed the subway stair scene was real, then the horse was indeed exploited & risked serious injury--all exploitation is a manifestation of violence. In the former movie, some forest was destroyed for the film. I cannot support that either--any type of violence whether it be against sentient beings or any inch of forest. The eel scene has to be fake so there is no more animal exploiation or harm to animals. There is lots of fake violence toward other humans. But it is all fake. My suggestion to this successful franchise is to make other ones with a new nephew of Indiana Jones--someone--a young serious, studious professor with glasses, tossled black hair on his forehead--not long hair, however. I would like to see this continue--without the use of any animals or destruction of forests. I don't see how this spectacular movie would result in a total end to the franchise--especially because we are getting better & better with AI & inventing more exciting scenes! If you don't know already how it ends, as I had no clue on any part of the film, you will be sitting at the edge of your couch screaming in delight. How on earth did they invent such an entertaining film? Keep at it please & don't stop now.

I have heard a lot of bad reviews about this film. I'm sorry but if you have been following this franchise from the beginning like me, I think you will enjoy this movie. I saw " Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the theater when I was a teen & fell in love with these movies ever since. I guess I could understand the bad reviews if you are judging this film on its own...no I digress. I still don't think it deserves such harsh reviews even as a standalone film. Come on people this is an adventure film. What more do you want? Fantasy/ Adventure films are designed as a way to escape your worries and problems for an hour or two...or three. L.O.L.! In that this movie succeeds. This was never meant to be a standalone film it was directed at the fan base of a franchise that has spanned decades! In every movie the items or artifacts are heavily documented historical artifacts. I'm sure someone out there will argue this point so for the sake of this film I will just say that " The Dial of Destiny" may not be as well-known as previous artifacts the renowned Archeologist Indiana Jones has hunted for... but I have heard of it. Actually, I feel it was a perfect item for the aging " Indy" to hunt for. Mabey The harsh reviews are because said item wasn't used as some may have preferred. I really don't know or care. I thought it was a great last instalment to the franchise. Of course, I grew up watching these movies, so they are endearing to me. But it's hard for me to imagine someone not familiar with " Indiana Jones." I mean he is as much part of Pop Culture as another Harrison Ford character " Han Solo". Ok, ok, I'm rambling... for give an old man. Personally, I enjoyed this movie as much as the others in the franchise and thought it was a great last instalment. Or is it...with A.I. are there going to be more Indiana Jones adventures? The last artifact he found delt with time after all. L.O.L.!!!

This was a really fun movie just filled with action. Sure, Indy is a bit of a curmudgeon at first, but that doesn't last long, and it doesn't affect how good he is at doing what he does best. His iconic magic and insatiable sense of adventure soon return. I especially loved this movie because of the exotic locales that were explored, but of course, I've loved that in every Indiana Jones movie. North Africa, one of my favorite places, and the surrounding area were some of the places this film takes us to, and I loved that. The stunts and special effects were terrific! I loved every action-packed moment, and the film was action-packed, make no mistake. We barely get a respite. Indy doesn't seem to have lost any of his fantastic abilities with age. If anything, they've improved. The supporting cast was great. I wasn't too fond of Indy's goddaughter, but she kind of grew on me, and I can't say that she was less than stellar in her role. I'm not knowledgeable enough to write about the film's technical aspects, so I'll just say that the DVD I watched (I bought it for Christmas for a relative) was clear and perfect. If you want to know more about the technical aspects, you'll probably find those reviewed by more sophisticated reviewers. Action films, in general, aren't my thing, but this film was great. It held my attention the entire time, and that's saying something from a woman who usually prefers period pieces and art house films. This movie was simply fun and fun to watch. It was a terrific end to the "Indiana Jones" franchise.

Fabulous finish to Indie!!! Loved the movie
