Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

I've only seen the first three, I think. I've always wanted to watch them all, as an experiment
It's worth a laugh, it really is incredible to me that they've kept it going so long and ao hard.

The 2nd really was the nadir of the series, and 3 was not a particularly good movie, but honest to goodness 4 picks up a bit, then it becomes actually, truly a series of good movies for a bit.

Two stopped my wife's very tiny interest.

We saw it this weekend. It is #3 with a bullet -- nowhere near as good as Raiders or Last Crusade, but vastly better than Temple of Doom or Crystal Skull. (Which is #4 and which is #5 for me is harder to determine: Temple is much more technically accomplished, but is wildly problematic, whereas Crystal Skull is mostly just mediocre.)

I am looking forward to whatever Phoebe Waller Bridge does with Tomb Raider over on Amazon, as I thought there was a real sense of humor and fun in this film, as well as a willingness to question tropes more than previous Indy films had.

The biggest issue with the movie, for me, was the opening, which was thrilling, as it should be -- I suspect opening sequences are the most fun part of making Indiana Jones and James Bond movies -- but the de-aging CGI was only successful about half time time, flickering back and forth between "wow, that looks great" to "dear god, what am I looking at" from second to second. Weirdly, it was worst on Mads Mikkelson, rather than Harrison Ford, which was surprising to me.
