I’m a huge Indiana Jones fan and finally saw Dial of Destiny last night. Sadly, I didn’t really enjoy it. The deaging was distracting and didn’t add anything to the story and Harrison Ford is honestly too old to be playing Indy anymore. His performance reminded me of Patrick Stewart in Picard - trying so hard to reach the quality of his former iconic character but not having the ability anymore to do it successfully. I also expected more from Mangold. Logan was such a high quality movie that I assumed everything Mangold would do after would be top tier but this movie kinda proves that Disney’s army of producers can ruin any talented directors work and there’s no reason to get excited about a specific director if Disney is involved.
What did y’all think of Dial of Destiny? Do you feel similar or are my opinions off base?
