Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Please, please don't suck. You're an odd-numbered Indiana Jones movie. Please be good.

It involves him punching Nazis, albeit in a flashback. Nazi-punching Indy is always the best Indy.

It does, however, have a shockingly lame title in a series that has always had great titles. Even the Indy video games have better Indiana Jones movie titles than the "Dial of Destiny". I thought it was a joke title made up for this thread.

The Dial of Destiny is the timer on how much longer we're going to make an 80-year-old stagger around adventure movie sets.

That title is bad. And the movie looks like it'll be dripping with nostalgia. I wonder how much of it will feature a digitally de-aged Harrison Ford as well.

 

[Davies]

I wonder if this is the one where he finally loses that eye.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

A lot less would be riding on this if the Uncharted movie wasn't so terrible. (Just watched it this past weekend. It's like wet cardboard.)

 

[MarkB]

I kinda hate the music in the trailer. Feels like they were aiming for nostalgia and majesty, and just hit 'overwrought'.

I do like the last part of the trailer where he pulls his whip and swings it around to scare people and then they all pull guns to shoot at him. Nice twist from the classic scene in the first movie.

Dial of Destiny is a bit Lara Croftish and meh. I guess Pill of Geriatrics and Loss of Lebeouf was already taken off the table.

They should change the title to "Indiana Jones and the Next Sequel"...

I heard a snippet of an interview where they said they intend that as a sign to Indy that the world is passing him by. The whip just isn't going to cut it in the present day of the movie.

Indiana Jones and the Question of Whether We're Willing to Really Kill Him Off

 

[jdrakeh]

Not a fan of the title, but the trailer itself looks good. Looks like there's also some contemporary Nazi punching in there (I presume Holbrook is playing a Nazi from the looks of it).

Indiana Jones:Yet Another insult?

Trailer looks ok. Damnit might go to the theater to see it. Damnit.

 

[Stalker0]

Another thumbs down for the title. Dial of destiny....ug.

Crystal Skull was a garbage fire of a movie, but at least the title was decent.

 

[Deset Gled]

I am cautiously optimistic. I'm willing to forgive the blunders in Crystal Skull if this works out.

 

[phuong]

omg I assumed from the title this was a corn movie, but

Jesus Christ... that's Joe Biden Harrison Ford.

I guess its nice to know that John Wick has decades to go before he is too old for an action movie.

 

[delericho]

I particularly enjoyed the shot of the Millennium Falcon entering hyperspace. Nice to see him at the controls one last time.

Otherwise: it's a trailer. It looks fine, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

 

[MarkB]

The title sounds like a Tintin book.

 

[Levistus's_Leviathan]

This is the last movie that John Williams composed music for.

Hopefully it's good. I'm cautiously optimistic based on the trailer.
