I was frustrated at the start by all the cartoon physics, and somewhat perturbed throughout by the increasingly insane body count, but damned if it wasn’t a pleasure watching Ford be a crank alongside Waller-Bridge’s fizzy firecracker, and the final scene put a surprise tear in my eye. Watched it with a somewhat full house, old people who complained that coming attractions were going to be skipped for being “too loud” and kids alike, which made for a more enjoyable experience with a classic popcorn flick like this.
Mangold’s direction was fine, but it really could have used the lightness of Spielberg’s ultimately optimistic touch. Goofy as it was, we remember the fridge sequence. I can’t think of an iconic setpiece from this one that will stand the test of time like the boulder, mine cart, tank battle or yes, refrigerator.
::This baddie doesn’t want to prevent the Holocaust or World War II. Instead he wants to kill Hitler so that he can take over as the head of the Nazis.::
And here I hoped he wanted to go back in time to have Hitler's liver with fava beans...and a nice Chianti.
::I also was very angry that the filmmakers have given into the Communist agenda and made Indiana Jones “woke.” In this movie he’s suddenly strongly anti-Nazi when I’m pretty sure that never came up in any of his other adventures. ::
Haven’t seen this and don’t intend to. Like The Flash movie, the extent of the CGI gee-whizzery becomes appalling, if not so necrophiliac as in that other movie.
It’s weird, I perfectly enjoy CGI in its place. Star Wars, for instance, or City of A Thousand Worlds, which sparkled, but was ignored by the public. But in a realistic adventure movie, it just throws me off.

While being Indy's Murder Husband.
