You guys articulated everything I felt after wasting $20 and 2 1/2 hrs of my life! I was an 80's kid and grew up with Indiana Jones. Raiders remains one of my all-time favorite films, period. To see what Disney and KK did to this and the Star Wars franchise is an absolute travesty. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed!💯
Congratulations on your channel. First rate. As for Indiana, I lost interest in LUCASFILM after the Kemobi debacle, as if Rise of Palpatine wasn't enough
Thanks, dude! Glad to have you. It really is a joke. They do everything they can to dismantle what came before them as if it’s wrong. These movies are universally loved for a reason.
Shame you wasted 20$ on a ticket but hadn't you heard what the deal was?! I've been hearing the warning signs about this one for a while now -- when I heard Phoebe was being given 50% of the screentime I knew it was over.

Thank you, sir. Appreciate you sticking around and watching! Disney is just going to keep pushing forward until every film they put out loses them money. Even then, they will probably still push forward becasue the message is more important that their profits.
Great review. I just found this channel, and the studio, 3 camera setup, and editing give this a very RLM feel, but unlike RLM the review isn't afraid to call out the bad politics that were clearly injected into the script. I was subbed after only about 5 minutes into the review. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see more.
Thanks, dude! Appreciate the follow. RLM is amazing at what they do and we can only hope to be half as big as them one day, but you're right, they tend to evade any of the points that focus on agendas. We love the format of a couple guys bs'ing about films. There just aren't many out there that openly call out the nonsense.
I like the bit where Madds blinked in the hotel room when the president requested he go to Washington. I also liked the crusty socks in Indy’s apartment. In fact, it wasn’t as bad as people make out. I remember people not liking Crusade when it came out.
She punched him so hard he slept through the entire return trip back to the future in Europe and the trip back to the US. He even slept while they carried him up to his apartment bed. She should box professionally.
The fact they cut out what made india jones, indiana jones.. they even admitted it in an interview. There were a lot of tomb raiding scenes and they just threw it away.. you can even see slivers of it in the trailer.
I consider myself moderately liberal politically, but extreme wokeism pisses me off almost as much as nepotism and racists! This modern trope of castrating a cinematic legendary character (Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Indy, etc.) to prop up a 'new generation' of characters is fucking pathetic. I'm certain that Kathleen Kennedy planned for Helena Shaw to spin off this series. And although I don't agree with everything your channel stands for, I wholeheartedly support your review here. Top Gun Maverick did legacy heroes the best! And this was a travesty!
Appreciate you saying this. While we can lay on things pretty thick at times, that doesn’t mean we’re looking for movies with overt conservative messaging in them either. Quite the opposite. Neither of us want that. We just want great movies without agendas in them. There are ways to pass on the torch from legacy to new generation without taking a dump all over the legacy. Creed is the perfect example. Those movies work well and they didn’t need to emasculate Rocky to do it. We don’t care if you’re liberal or conservative. Come back any time to chat about movies.
One punch knocked him out for a week. Enough time to be dragged back to the plane, flown back through time, flown back to NY, stuck in his apartment etc etc
I thought John Williams has been alseep at least a decade now.. I remember thinking Force Awakens score was distractingly bland for a Star Wars film.. in fact, I thought Mike Giacchino did a better modern star wars score (than Williams) with Rogue One.. ..after Marvel's Phase 4 was a total disaster, for what basically came down to, "letting the girls have a turn" , youd think disney would have learned by now.. i mean, its still a bad film regardless, but probably because the whole idea spawned from "lets modernize indiana jones for modern audiences with modern women" ..what's crazy is, these entertainment products didnt have to be bad.. but all these Low T men wont stand up to bad ideas pitched by other Low T men, nodding in silence to diversity hires in front of woke executives.. must be a nightmare. No wonder these movies are bad.. Like, how many dozens of checks do movies go through before hitting the screen.. and no-one along the way says, "she an awful obnoxious character" or "this humour isnt working" or anything? Something? ..it boggles my mind how these things get made and expected to perform.. i mean, even if they live in another reality, money still talk, right? .. they still havent caught on.. and again, what's with blaming the men if movies dont perform? ..can women not buy movie tickets? ..they only ever went to the movies if guys took them so they dont know how? ..same with female athletes.. "they deserve as much as men! (but we dont want buy tickets for them)" ..
They will never understand that there needs to be balance. They swing the pendulum until it goes completely in the opposite direction. Women can kick ass in movies. They just don't understand that it doesn't have to be at the expense of every guy around them. Tons of people watched this before it was decided that it was finished and all they all thought this is exactly what the Indiana Jones fans wanted. Of course you'll get those who just love anything that exists and will defend it, but it's an uphill battle to defend this film.
@@hardcutreviews 💯 ..I was thinking, how come they never remake the movies with badass female characters that are already female? Eh? Is this ever mentioned in the board room? Obviously not.. what, they're ashamed of Sara Connor and Ripley and Leeloo and whoever! ..strong female characters are out there! .. ( they could always invent their own perfect character! ) ..naw, this might sound misogynistic but this whole trend of females culturally appropriating male characters reek of, "can I come hang out with you guys on boys night?? what?.. c'mon.. I'm cool! ..I'm funny!"
So accurate. Everything about this movie is just insulting, down to the way it's lit. I for one am looking forward to the future debates this will spark over who the gets the title of "World's Biggest Girlboss": Helena Shaw or "Rings of Power" Galadriel. My money is still on Galadriel, but Helena is a worthy adversary for the title.
Love this channel, keep up the good reviews guys, I’ll always be here for them. I hope this channel grows and grows. ……also, the new studio looks really cool.
I honestly have never understood the hate for Mutt. Shia, like him or not, is working his ass off in Skull. The movie itself is a pile of shit. It's weak script, digital-up-the-ass look... I mean, what would ANYONE be able to do with the swining on vines with monkeys and fighting the Russian chick in that CGI fever dream? Seriously. The dude did the best he could with what he had to work with. On the subject of DIal, though... I don't know why people had hope for this one, in the slightest. From the rumors to the trailer to the film finally releasing. Disney is loaded to the brim with people who hate men, hate legacy characters, and enjoy nihilistic deconstruction. We can't have manly men in leading roles anymore. Even the new Predator movie, Badlands, is supposedly going to have two "female" leads.(I put it in quotes because there is a rumor that one of them is trans or non-binary or some stupid bullshit like that.) Seriously. Men built the world we live in, but we live in a world that now hates men. It makes no sense at all. I love women, but I cannot stand feminism or post modern progressivism. They are both arms of Marxist thinking that seek to tear things down. All of these great legacy properties, with all their heart, love, and soul... and Americana! ... They've all been ground beneath the heel of these types. It sucks ass through a straw.
You guys are wrong, there is a moment where Indy is right and Helena is wrong. It's when Indy puts gum on the tuk-tuk engine and she says it won't work. It does work. +1 for Indy. Seriously though, loved the review lol
We were discussing how people like to reference the fact that filmmakers like Spielberg and other well respected creatives are praising the movie. Could you imagine if Spielberg came out after screening it and said, "Well that sucked." Disney would implode faster than the Titan.
I think Die Hard 4 is a fine addition. He still acts like John McLane, wants to help people, complains a lot, but still does the job. The villains keep telling him how he's old and outdated (the villains mind you, not his sidekick, not his daughter), but he comes out on top in the end. Die Hard 5, on the other hand, reuses footage, makes John look like a joke and a jerk, and tries to focus on his ungrateful son. Also, McLane's lived through a lot of things that should've killed him, but walking into Chernobyl is a step too far.
Oh, we’d take Die Hard 4 over 5 any day. We were focused on the aesthetics of the film compared to 1-3 and how small changes there can greatly change the tone of a series. Do love me some Timothy Olyphant though.
i know man what a badass Epic movie TOD always was ''WE ARE GOING TO DIE'' XD was watching it like 3 days ago again for like the 20th time retrospectively as usual was a way for me to say GO AND FFF'K YOURSELF DISNEYRIZED OF DESTINY cos i knew i had zero care or motivation to watch it, specially if it means me paying for it Disney can go and burn in it's worst kind of Golden hell possible do like your flat out honesty guys and sense of humor time for the Belmont to give you my Sub you guys earned plus i value the reply and the good posters in the background a long Bruce wayne's side now i am about to rewatch LAST CRUSADE is good to remember how beautiful Elsa also was that Angelic Germanic Cryo beauty :))
@@GothicXlightning Apprecite the sub! We are a far cry from the days of Elsa. Charming, smart, sexy, capable and deadly. Indy and his dad both knew what was up.
i know man love that Emma Frost look on Elsa Elsa is honestly underrated, she may seem like been the kind of treacherous stonecold backstabber but deep down she is only obsessed by the idea of a Miracle happening around her ''All i have to do is Squeeze.. All i have to do is Scream'' but she never did scream you know? that is what made her so special and unique among the list of INDY's women i know Marion is great in a similar fashion on how Ripley is also great but Elsa is my fav yeah about the Subbing, know that i don't always go around subbing everyone only do it when i get a strong and rewarding impression from a channel which does not happens often thank you guys keep the Honestly in your channel always
The mythology of Indiana Jones had to do with religious artifacts. That's what made it so interesting. Arc holding the 10 Commandments and the holy Grail are compelling topics with literature thousands of years old talking about it. Coming up with the bullshit of aliens and time travel completely fucked it up.
You are correct. Each of the original focused on a different world religion. It would have been great to see that tradition carried over into the new ones but instead we got inter-dimensional aliens. It’s not like there was a shortage of religions out there to choose from.
@@hardcutreviews If I could just say one thing about Halloween Ends its that the movie reminded me of the old Universal horror movies where it wasn't uncommon that the monster showed up at the last ten minutes of the movie and instead the focus was on the mad scientist. Personally speaking that's why I liked it because it reminded me of movies like Ghost of Frankenstein but I could see why many didn't.
@@bw3230 That’s a totally fair reason for liking it. That style is a massive departure from the series though. Not counting Halloween III of course. There is an expectation that is set with a series dating back over 40 years. Some people liked how far outside of the box they stepped and others didn’t. You’re never going to make everyone happy.
Just like you guys are saying movies, these days aren’t planned out years in advance with someone’s creative vision and passion. They’re made moment by moment on the spot, and then pieced together with ideas from dozens of diversity hires.
They could have fixed his voice to sound younger with a free iPhone app. It just bothers me that they did this to Indiana Jones. I saw Raiders in the theatre when I was 8 years old. I feel like I sold my childhood home to Disney, and they tore it down to build a strip mall.
Good catch. Our rating scale is out of 10. We usually specify this in every review but we were too distracted by our disdain that we missed it. 3.5 out of 5 would be far too generous.
OK then, will someone please tell me how is it that an iconic archeologyist end up at the end of his (teaching life) and point that having had his hands on so many one offc antiquities then be living in a shitty apartment esp when the "mcmuffin," at the beginning of the film ,end esp being kept from dying until the time travel ending where "Somehow brown short round steals a plane "so HE flies now!" And he a Fleabag save the day (and Indiana Jones ) in the last time we will ever see this last hurrah of this Icon of the silver screen...what a shameful waste of this character imo !
I agree with everything yal said. They should have shot the movie with practical effects and the same lightning and like the 80s, and they should have re cast with Chris Pratt or aron Taylor Johnson.....he'll anyone! We have had Harrison ford's trilogy, time for a new actors take on Indy WITHOUT changing the character from a writers perspective
Ford has said when he goes, the character goes too. Kind of ballsy. At this point though, a recasting and a competently told story would be more welcome than this garbage.
Loved the review! Kathleen Kennedy has single handedly - dismantled Lucas Film and Disney Film over the past ten years. I would go as far as to say, she has personally lost both companies over $5 billion dollars in scripted revenue. How is this ever possible with a pedigree so deep in modern film history, Disney have stood by and watched this woman take fan driven legacy franchises to the nearest cliff and then throw them off. Kennedy has said the fans don't matter - it's important to bring on a new fan base, try telling the Disney bean-counters - that's your plan. Seriously this woman has been out of her depth from the very beginning, as stated by Steven Spielberg 2008. With her IQ of limited creative ability - Hollywood politics from the "Me Too" movement; woke ideas and nonsensical narratives, she is truly the grim-reaper of Executive Producers. I do feel sorry for James Mangold and Harrison Ford who tried every day to make this pig's ear of a script into something - any thing - but this film was in production for months - with endless re-shoots and script changes - it must have felt like working for the Taliban! Production companies aren't designed around throwing hundreds of million at a film with no audience support - even the test audiences hated it - they needed success! Indy has instantly become KK's most unwatchable movie to date - and is sure to bomb across every market! Of course Disney will say it made it's money back once they hand it on to Disney + for $500 million company roubles - by that point no one will care. NB I have heard KK is producing season 4 of The Mandalorian and season 2 of Andor - such a tragedy as Andor was a step out from Star Wars; with a truly cerebral script - great heroic characters and believable off world locations - okay Scotland! If she gets her hands on season 2 - GOD help us - in fact GOD help us anyway!
She’s a glorified production assistant. She lived under the shadow of talented filmmakers for years and now she’s dismantling everything they built. One character and franchise at a time.
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 8/10 Great Adventure! TEMPLE OF DOOM 10/10 Comedy, Romance, and Horror! LAST CRUSADE 8/10 Great Father's Day Special! CRYSTAL SKULL 2/10 Well, I THOUGHT It Was the Worst! DIAL OF DESTINY ZERO! Suddenly, CRYSTAL SKULL doesn't seem so bad.
@@hardcutreviews Well , as the great Shakespeare said in his KING LEAR: "Not being the worst, stands in some rank of praise!" Congratulations KOTCS! You are no longer the worst!
I actually had fun watching the movie, trying to forget all the bs. But then the ending has been in my head for days. Fleabag actually had to save an old man, from staying stuck in the past and punched him in the face to bring him into the present. Little on the nose for the woke movement. I actually put aside all the nonsense until that point and then everything bad about the film started to stand out. PS... I should have prefaced this by saying I pretty much enjoy every movie the first time through just because it is something new. I even liked Thor Love and Thunder, which is one of the worst movies in the last ten years.
you may feel a small sense of hatred and feeling your senses CUCKED At the beginning by this 2 if you are not paying attention of the fact that they are just been full mode TrollyFFFYUNGAround and Bless them for that
Bravo Gentlemen.. you've nailed it.. every point you've made here resonates my own feelings about this steaming turd of a movie and the "cucking" of all these great male characters.. best review I've seen out of dozens! 👌
Not to sound like a cuck but you guys honestly are the best movie reviewers on RUclips. Great production value and set and super elaborate and entertaining commentary. We need more people to call out woke BS!
And while Im watching your video, I need to point out the major plot hole (you will probably bring it up) Why would Indy think that finding Fleabag with the dial would clear him of murder? And what happened to those charges??? Oh, and I cant believe you didnt mention the 70S BUSH under Fleabags arms in the scotter scene. It was a little horrific.
Hahaha, dude there was so much to mention. Our original video was an hour long and we cut it down to 30 mins as to not bore people to death. But yeah, massive plot hole where he gets back to NY and the murder charges are magically dropped. Nice eagle eye on the bush, lol.
Why resurrect the old green witch from the Wizard of Oz to play Indie? An old hard nosed Plain Jane , really ?that's the best you could hire? Feeble Wally?
There were no new catchy main themes on the music , I heard slight renditions of jaws, like recycled older John Williams maybe he’s too old to come up with new themes the only thing I got out of that were his playful motifs that you can tell were him . Also , if they had brought back short round instead of her that would’ve brought back people in droves everyone loves short round. I would’ve brought back him and begged Shia labuff to come back and made it a trio and have him banter and dad then around, have them carry the heavy action stunts
That K K used the whole movie to spawn more spin-offs that’s what she had in mind and to get him to move on , this shit ain’t pirates of the Caribbean these are unique movies made in a very unique way. When you guys talked about the camera being at ground level that spot on that is the difference to old style movies to these modern movies . You need to feel like you are right there with the actors , I feel like I’m watching a video game with good graphics
@@diehard7153 Nothing takes me out of a movie faster than seeing the camera break every physics law simultaneously. It especially sets it apart from the original films.
I instantly subscribed after that intro, hilarious! Gosh, the og trilogy was so... Problematic. So, crystal skull he got graped, and now he's cucked. What a time to be alive...
Haha, thanks! It's so sad seeing this happen time and time again. How many times in a row do they have to lose money before they realize nobody wanted this?
I think that Mangold thought he could pull off what he did for Logan. It's never fun or inspirational to watch the disintegration of a once beloved hero.
Mangold is a decent director and he's had some great films but the plan from before he was even involved was to deconstruct Indy down to nothing and slot in the agenda. It's all they do now.
The only thing I disagree with is when they said the beginning scene had a crappy deep fake. The deep fake was done extremely well. Fully on same page otherwise

Creed is the perfect example. Those movies work well and they didn’t need to emasculate Rocky to do it. We don’t care if you’re liberal or conservative. Come back any time to chat about movies.
Subscribed. Excellent review and l especially appreciate that you discuss the film and don't shout and get over excited like so many reviewers. 😂
Appreciate the follow! We’re just a couple guys who enjoy talking about movies. Especially movies we grew up with that are now being dismantled.
Oh man, this opening is just hilarious 😄😂🤣
One punch knocked him out for a week.
Enough time to be dragged back to the plane, flown back through time, flown back to NY, stuck in his apartment etc etc
That punch also wiped out his double homicide charge. She just had a quick word with the cops and cleared that right up.
I thought John Williams has been alseep at least a decade now.. I remember thinking Force Awakens score was distractingly bland for a Star Wars film.. in fact, I thought Mike Giacchino did a better modern star wars score (than Williams) with Rogue One..
..after Marvel's Phase 4 was a total disaster, for what basically came down to, "letting the girls have a turn" , youd think disney would have learned by now.. i mean, its still a bad film regardless, but probably because the whole idea spawned from "lets modernize indiana jones for modern audiences with modern women" ..what's crazy is, these entertainment products didnt have to be bad.. but all these Low T men wont stand up to bad ideas pitched by other Low T men, nodding in silence to diversity hires in front of woke executives.. must be a nightmare. No wonder these movies are bad..
Like, how many dozens of checks do movies go through before hitting the screen.. and no-one along the way says, "she an awful obnoxious character" or "this humour isnt working" or anything? Something? ..it boggles my mind how these things get made and expected to perform.. i mean, even if they live in another reality, money still talk, right? .. they still havent caught on..
and again, what's with blaming the men if movies dont perform? ..can women not buy movie tickets? ..they only ever went to the movies if guys took them so they dont know how? ..same with female athletes.. "they deserve as much as men! (but we dont want buy tickets for them)" ..
They will never understand that there needs to be balance. They swing the pendulum until it goes completely in the opposite direction. Women can kick ass in movies. They just don't understand that it doesn't have to be at the expense of every guy around them. Tons of people watched this before it was decided that it was finished and all they all thought this is exactly what the Indiana Jones fans wanted. Of course you'll get those who just love anything that exists and will defend it, but it's an uphill battle to defend this film.
@@hardcutreviews 💯 ..I was thinking, how come they never remake the movies with badass female characters that are already female? Eh? Is this ever mentioned in the board room? Obviously not.. what, they're ashamed of Sara Connor and Ripley and Leeloo and whoever! ..strong female characters are out there! .. ( they could always invent their own perfect character! ) ..naw, this might sound misogynistic but this whole trend of females culturally appropriating male characters reek of, "can I come hang out with you guys on boys night?? what?.. c'mon.. I'm cool! ..I'm funny!"
@@StayFractalesque It’s been done successfully many times. When they cram an agenda behind it, you can always tell.
My new favorite critics. Goodbye Redlettermedia
Damn. Thanks dude. We’ve got a long way to go to get anywhere near their level but appreciate the support!
The Wilhelm at 25:22 cracked me up.
Haha, it seemed appropriate. Indy 5 had one in the opening sequence.
So accurate. Everything about this movie is just insulting, down to the way it's lit.
I for one am looking forward to the future debates this will spark over who the gets the title of "World's Biggest Girlboss": Helena Shaw or "Rings of Power" Galadriel. My money is still on Galadriel, but Helena is a worthy adversary for the title.
There will need to be a head to head with those two to see who takes the title of most insufferable.
Haha, great intro guys.
Fucking LOVE that opening intro. 😂😂😂
Thanks, lol. The ladies will return...
i love the introooo
Is it just me or every actor/actress in this movie is charisma challenged? Yes, including HF.
All of them. This film is entirely devoid of charm.
Intelligent, articulate & accurate review. Also very funny. Great channel, fellas. I've subscribed.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
That's so weird. Disney typically does such a good job. Can't wait for the next Star Wars.
It’s gonna be lit for sure.
Love this channel, keep up the good reviews guys, I’ll always be here for them. I hope this channel grows and grows.
……also, the new studio looks really cool.
Thanks, dude. Appreciate you sticking around.
I honestly have never understood the hate for Mutt. Shia, like him or not, is working his ass off in Skull. The movie itself is a pile of shit. It's weak script, digital-up-the-ass look... I mean, what would ANYONE be able to do with the swining on vines with monkeys and fighting the Russian chick in that CGI fever dream? Seriously. The dude did the best he could with what he had to work with.
On the subject of DIal, though... I don't know why people had hope for this one, in the slightest. From the rumors to the trailer to the film finally releasing. Disney is loaded to the brim with people who hate men, hate legacy characters, and enjoy nihilistic deconstruction. We can't have manly men in leading roles anymore.
Even the new Predator movie, Badlands, is supposedly going to have two "female" leads.(I put it in quotes because there is a rumor that one of them is trans or non-binary or some stupid bullshit like that.)
Seriously. Men built the world we live in, but we live in a world that now hates men. It makes no sense at all. I love women, but I cannot stand feminism or post modern progressivism. They are both arms of Marxist thinking that seek to tear things down. All of these great legacy properties, with all their heart, love, and soul... and Americana! ... They've all been ground beneath the heel of these types. It sucks ass through a straw.
You guys are wrong, there is a moment where Indy is right and Helena is wrong. It's when Indy puts gum on the tuk-tuk engine and she says it won't work. It does work. +1 for Indy.
Seriously though, loved the review lol
You sir, are correct. Indy gets to play the broken clock in his own movie.
It's amazing how the reviews and comments on Disney make this sound so awesome and everyone loves it.
We were discussing how people like to reference the fact that filmmakers like Spielberg and other well respected creatives are praising the movie. Could you imagine if Spielberg came out after screening it and said, "Well that sucked." Disney would implode faster than the Titan.
I think Die Hard 4 is a fine addition. He still acts like John McLane, wants to help people, complains a lot, but still does the job. The villains keep telling him how he's old and outdated (the villains mind you, not his sidekick, not his daughter), but he comes out on top in the end. Die Hard 5, on the other hand, reuses footage, makes John look like a joke and a jerk, and tries to focus on his ungrateful son. Also, McLane's lived through a lot of things that should've killed him, but walking into Chernobyl is a step too far.
Oh, we’d take Die Hard 4 over 5 any day. We were focused on the aesthetics of the film compared to 1-3 and how small changes there can greatly change the tone of a series. Do love me some Timothy Olyphant though.
i found your channel today and i pretty much watched all your stuff
you guys are cool
i like you guys
Thanks! Appreciate you checking it all out!
Stunning and Brave
0:46 got really stunning and brave
They should’ve cast Chris Pratt as his son to take the mantle
on a more positive brighter note
got to love the poster of INDY TEMPLE OF DOOM shilling in the back by Ripley's side
He’s repping the good ‘ol Indy days next to a female lead who is actually good.
i know man what a badass Epic movie TOD always was
''WE ARE GOING TO DIE''
XD was watching it like 3 days ago again for like the 20th time retrospectively as usual
was a way for me to say GO AND FFF'K YOURSELF DISNEYRIZED OF DESTINY
cos i knew i had zero care or motivation to watch it, specially if it means me paying for it
Disney can go and burn in it's worst kind of Golden hell possible
do like your flat out honesty guys and sense of humor
time for the Belmont to give you my Sub
you guys earned plus i value the reply
and the good posters in the background a long Bruce wayne's side
now i am about to rewatch LAST CRUSADE
is good to remember how beautiful Elsa also was
that Angelic Germanic Cryo beauty :))
@@GothicXlightning Apprecite the sub! We are a far cry from the days of Elsa. Charming, smart, sexy, capable and deadly. Indy and his dad both knew what was up.
i know man love that Emma Frost look on Elsa
Elsa is honestly underrated, she may seem like been the kind of treacherous stonecold backstabber
but deep down she is only obsessed by the idea of a Miracle happening around her
''All i have to do is Squeeze..
All i have to do is Scream''
but she never did scream you know?
that is what made her so special and unique among the list of INDY's women
i know Marion is great in a similar fashion on how Ripley is also great
but Elsa is my fav
yeah about the Subbing, know that i don't always go around subbing everyone
only do it when i get a strong and rewarding impression from a channel which does not happens often
thank you guys keep the Honestly in your channel always
@@GothicXlightning You’re right about Elsa, she had more layers than an onion. Those days have come and gone. Glad to have you aboard.
Your review is so entertaining
The mythology of Indiana Jones had to do with religious artifacts. That's what made it so interesting. Arc holding the 10 Commandments and the holy Grail are compelling topics with literature thousands of years old talking about it. Coming up with the bullshit of aliens and time travel completely fucked it up.
You are correct. Each of the original focused on a different world religion. It would have been great to see that tradition carried over into the new ones but instead we got inter-dimensional aliens. It’s not like there was a shortage of religions out there to choose from.
It's better than Halloween ends. It was good not the best but still good. We should of got the last two films back in the 90s.
At least Indy was in this movie. Michael was in Ends for about 8 minutes.
@@hardcutreviews If I could just say one thing about Halloween Ends its that the movie reminded me of the old Universal horror movies where it wasn't uncommon that the monster showed up at the last ten minutes of the movie and instead the focus was on the mad scientist. Personally speaking that's why I liked it because it reminded me of movies like Ghost of Frankenstein but I could see why many didn't.
@@bw3230 That’s a totally fair reason for liking it. That style is a massive departure from the series though. Not counting Halloween III of course. There is an expectation that is set with a series dating back over 40 years. Some people liked how far outside of the box they stepped and others didn’t. You’re never going to make everyone happy.
I could imagine Kathleen Kennedy taking the 'gals' to see this movie. They'd probably look like the girls you guys played 😂
Who says we were playing girls? Lol.
Just like you guys are saying movies, these days aren’t planned out years in advance with someone’s creative vision and passion. They’re made moment by moment on the spot, and then pieced together with ideas from dozens of diversity hires.
They could have fixed his voice to sound younger with a free iPhone app. It just bothers me that they did this to Indiana Jones. I saw Raiders in the theatre when I was 8 years old. I feel like I sold my childhood home to Disney, and they tore it down to build a strip mall.
Makes you feel really good about whatever is next up on the slate.
3.5 out of 5 ? ..or 3.5 out of 10 ?
Good catch. Our rating scale is out of 10. We usually specify this in every review but we were too distracted by our disdain that we missed it. 3.5 out of 5 would be far too generous.
The intro was spot-on! LOL 🤣
Hahaaaa, Matlock..
$300,000,000.00 to make it look as bad as possible 😂
Budgets get bigger, CGI gets worse.
OK then, will someone please tell me how is it that an iconic archeologyist end up at the end of his (teaching life) and point that having had his hands on so many one offc antiquities then be living in a shitty apartment esp when the "mcmuffin," at the beginning of the film ,end esp being kept from dying until the time travel ending where "Somehow brown short round steals a plane "so HE flies now!" And he a Fleabag save the day (and Indiana Jones ) in the last time we will ever see this last hurrah of this Icon of the silver screen...what a shameful waste of this character imo !
It was definitely shameful.
Mutt could of been recast since mutt was a teenager in crystal skull but they needed Indiana Jones sidekick to be a woman🙄
It’s not even the fact that it’s a woman. It’s an insufferable woman. I’d take a Marion or Elsa any day over Fleabag.
INDIANA SIMP JONES AND THE DIAL OF SOAP.
I agree with everything yal said. They should have shot the movie with practical effects and the same lightning and like the 80s, and they should have re cast with Chris Pratt or aron Taylor Johnson.....he'll anyone! We have had Harrison ford's trilogy, time for a new actors take on Indy WITHOUT changing the character from a writers perspective
Ford has said when he goes, the character goes too. Kind of ballsy. At this point though, a recasting and a competently told story would be more welcome than this garbage.
Loved the review!
Kathleen Kennedy has single handedly - dismantled Lucas Film and Disney Film over the past ten years. I would go as far as to say, she has personally lost both companies over $5 billion dollars in scripted revenue. How is this ever possible with a pedigree so deep in modern film history, Disney have stood by and watched this woman take fan driven legacy franchises to the nearest cliff and then throw them off. Kennedy has said the fans don't matter - it's important to bring on a new fan base, try telling the Disney bean-counters - that's your plan. Seriously this woman has been out of her depth from the very beginning, as stated by Steven Spielberg 2008. With her IQ of limited creative ability - Hollywood politics from the "Me Too" movement; woke ideas and nonsensical narratives, she is truly the grim-reaper of Executive Producers. I do feel sorry for James Mangold and Harrison Ford who tried every day to make this pig's ear of a script into something - any thing - but this film was in production for months - with endless re-shoots and script changes - it must have felt like working for the Taliban!
Production companies aren't designed around throwing hundreds of million at a film with no audience support - even the test audiences hated it - they needed success! Indy has instantly become KK's most unwatchable movie to date - and is sure to bomb across every market! Of course Disney will say it made it's money back once they hand it on to Disney + for $500 million company roubles - by that point no one will care.
NB I have heard KK is producing season 4 of The Mandalorian and season 2 of Andor - such a tragedy as Andor was a step out from Star Wars; with a truly cerebral script - great heroic characters and believable off world locations - okay Scotland! If she gets her hands on season 2 - GOD help us - in fact GOD help us anyway!
She’s a glorified production assistant. She lived under the shadow of talented filmmakers for years and now she’s dismantling everything they built. One character and franchise at a time.
I just re-watched your Indy trailer review. It was prophetic.
Lucasfilm and KK are just too predictable.
I thought I was watching a JP Sears skit at first...
He may have inspired us a little…
On the thumbnail it looks like Phoebe Waller Bridge is pegging Indy
Can’t unsee that now. It’s quite fitting.
There are only 3 indy films. Lucas doesn't make films, it destroys legacies.
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 8/10 Great Adventure!
TEMPLE OF DOOM 10/10 Comedy, Romance, and Horror!
LAST CRUSADE 8/10 Great Father's Day Special!
CRYSTAL SKULL 2/10 Well, I THOUGHT It Was the Worst!
DIAL OF DESTINY ZERO! Suddenly, CRYSTAL SKULL doesn't seem so bad.
I couldn't believe we were thinking back on Crystal Skull fondly after this mess.
@@hardcutreviews Well , as the great Shakespeare said in his KING LEAR: "Not being the worst, stands in some rank of praise!" Congratulations KOTCS! You are no longer the worst!
You guys are soooooo f’ing funny
This movie made me afraid of getting old. Lets all die in our 40´s
Really not selling us on those golden years.
I actually had fun watching the movie, trying to forget all the bs. But then the ending has been in my head for days. Fleabag actually had to save an old man, from staying stuck in the past and punched him in the face to bring him into the present. Little on the nose for the woke movement. I actually put aside all the nonsense until that point and then everything bad about the film started to stand out. PS... I should have prefaced this by saying I pretty much enjoy every movie the first time through just because it is something new. I even liked Thor Love and Thunder, which is one of the worst movies in the last ten years.
you may feel a small sense of hatred and feeling your senses CUCKED At the beginning by this 2 if you are not paying attention of the fact that they are just been full mode TrollyFFFYUNGAround
and Bless them for that
I hate that the beginning skit has any merit but it does. 😞☹️
Lol, appreciate your honesty.
I will never see Dial. Don't have to see everything boys.
Indy can remain whole and intact in your memories. If you ever want to change that, watch Dial.
HC?
Watching cinema getting the HIGH CUCKED treatment ?
Bravo Gentlemen.. you've nailed it.. every point you've made here resonates my own feelings about this steaming turd of a movie and the "cucking" of all these great male characters.. best review I've seen out of dozens! 👌
Thanks, dude! Appreciate it! It was only a matter of time before they got Indy in their crosshairs.
Not to sound like a cuck but you guys honestly are the best movie reviewers on RUclips. Great production value and set and super elaborate and entertaining commentary. We need more people to call out woke BS!
You could never sound like a cuck when complimenting us. Appreciate you taking the time to check out the channel and let us know.
What a great new (?) series guys!
Thanks! Newish. Started the channel last October.
I'll watch it when it streams.. hopefully my expectations will have been lowered to the point that I'm pleasantly surprised.
It is possible to enjoy the film if you're starting with the lowest of expectations.
And while Im watching your video, I need to point out the major plot hole (you will probably bring it up) Why would Indy think that finding Fleabag with the dial would clear him of murder? And what happened to those charges??? Oh, and I cant believe you didnt mention the 70S BUSH under Fleabags arms in the scotter scene. It was a little horrific.
Hahaha, dude there was so much to mention. Our original video was an hour long and we cut it down to 30 mins as to not bore people to death. But yeah, massive plot hole where he gets back to NY and the murder charges are magically dropped. Nice eagle eye on the bush, lol.
Feminists and woke people, please stop destroying my childhood Heroes!!! 😡
They will never stop until they are all destroyed, lol.
Nothing about this movie is woke.
@@saintsrobbed6450 Really… you don’t see the difference between this one and like… any of the others…
@@hardcutreviews In terms of woke? No Indy movie is woke. I've watched them all plenty of times and didn't get that vibe at all with Dial.
@saintsrobbed6450 Indy is basically short round in this movie.. They turned him into a little soy boy,. And the woman is in charge... It's a joke!
These guys are hilarious
The bright-colored feminist wigs lol
Appreciate it! We felt it was time for our better halves to make an appearance.
Why resurrect the old green witch from the Wizard of Oz to play Indie? An old hard nosed Plain Jane , really ?that's the best you could hire? Feeble Wally?
Lol. Gotta be the best description I’ve heard of her. An old hard nosed Margaret Hamilton.
James Mangold should be embarrassed
There were no new catchy main themes on the music , I heard slight renditions of jaws, like recycled older John Williams maybe he’s too old to come up with new themes the only thing I got out of that were his playful motifs that you can tell were him . Also , if they had brought back short round instead of her that would’ve brought back people in droves everyone loves short round. I would’ve brought back him and begged Shia labuff to come back and made it a trio and have him banter and dad then around, have them carry the heavy action stunts
Having him meet up with Short Round again would have been great. This movie would have instantly pulled in more people.
That K K used the whole movie to spawn more spin-offs that’s what she had in mind and to get him to move on , this shit ain’t pirates of the Caribbean these are unique movies made in a very unique way. When you guys talked about the camera being at ground level that spot on that is the difference to old style movies to these modern movies . You need to feel like you are right there with the actors , I feel like I’m watching a video game with good graphics
@@diehard7153 Nothing takes me out of a movie faster than seeing the camera break every physics law simultaneously. It especially sets it apart from the original films.
I instantly subscribed after that intro, hilarious!
Gosh, the og trilogy was so...
Problematic.
So, crystal skull he got graped, and now he's cucked. What a time to be alive...
Haha, thanks! It's so sad seeing this happen time and time again. How many times in a row do they have to lose money before they realize nobody wanted this?
Great review!
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Is that a insect under her skin ?
I think that Mangold thought he could pull off what he did for Logan. It's never fun or inspirational to watch the disintegration of a once beloved hero.
Mangold is a decent director and he's had some great films but the plan from before he was even involved was to deconstruct Indy down to nothing and slot in the agenda. It's all they do now.
Harrison Ford looks low-key embarrassed of the movie in the interviews
The only thing I disagree with is when they said the beginning scene had a crappy deep fake. The deep fake was done extremely well. Fully on same page otherwise
It looked fake AF. And that scene sucked.
Scientology's starting to look not so bad compared to woke-ism these days. At least Tom Cruise doesn't emasculate his hero.
Tom would never let that happen.
Why do they keep doing this if it keeps losing them money
Oh it’s ain’t about money.
