Honestly, at what point do shareholders and stakeholders look at the poor performance of Lucasfilm since Disney acquired it? This is one of the most mishandled acquisitions in history.
Unfortunately I think they were able to dine out on the box office of The Force Awakens for a long time. That film broke a lot of records, so out of the gate Kennedy and co were smelling of roses. Then Rogue One and The Last Jedi made over a billion, so the money men were able to turn a blind eye and think about the money. Since Episode 9 came out it's all been streaming shows and of course it's much harder to determine the success of those. The thing is (as we know) the sequel trilogy could've been absolutely huge financially and culturally if it had been well made.
Remember when in Indy 4, Mutt made fun of Indy being old, but then Indy continued to upstage Mutt in every scene, showing us he still has it. Now that we have a chick, she has to upstage him because chicks only identlify themselves my how many guys they step on.
And not just any chick, but a smug, full on feminist piece of s*** who has no relevance to anyone in the world other than the out of touch elites (and their dipshit followers).
@@axiss5840 Yeah, it's called Aliens. Ripley has to learn how to use a Pulse Rifle from Hicks. The first time she uses it in battled she struggles with the kickback.
She’s not just an empowered woman, she perfect in every way and can do amazing things with zero training. I’m so sick of this crap. I miss old school female heroes like Ripley and Sarah Conner.
Watch Arcane if you haven't yet, it's a great example of that. It also has a bunch of fantastic characters (male and female) and great writing overall. But yea, I sympathize with you..
Indeed. This is just another occasion for the wise cracking female to mock the supposedly borderline moronic(older) male.What else is new in the media and entertainment world for the last 25 years ?
Before the Crystal Skull, Indy had Short Round. This franchise already had an adventurous, likable, established character, full of wit, humor and guts, who could carry Indy's legacy forward. Ignoring him was a massive mistake.
He lived in India and Indiana Jones only had him aound a very short time which is why his not in Radiers or Last Crusaide Mutt tho his SON Mutt?? Short round was in a Prequal
The capitalism line alone tells everything about this movie There was a chase scene leaked from the Disney event, phoebe waller bridge essentially leads indy into things, she's flawless and constantly berates him
The Nazis’ were pure Evil and Power driven that didn’t care who they stole from or what they stole as they left nothing behind but ruin and death. Indy stealing an artifact from a literal Nazi is saving a piece of history, and the one woman with the British accent that stole from Indiana Jones, protector of rare antiquities really wants to use the Capitalism argument really!? I still wish it could have been the “Spear of Destiny” with his son, the new shows and movies with terrible stories kill the franchises.
I hate that because I cannot relate to somebody flawless. I do mistakes and I would see such a perfect protagonist humiliating me to feel herself better.
Crystal Skull isn't a good film at all, but it did have two things I liked: Shia Labouf playing Indy's son as a 50s biker, and the ending, which essentially had Indy "walk into the sunset" but remains himself and serves as a good conclusion to the series.
Who would want to watch an eighty-year old Indiana Jones in a film not written, produced, and directed by Lucas and Spielberg? Why would Disney spend more than $100 million on this terrible idea?
They'll get to every site where there's some treasure and one of the characters will say "you can't appropriate that, that's someone's culture" followed by "The End".
Y'know what the worst thing is? Considering Indy's retirement and his age are clearly going to be big parts of the story, plus the time-travel element... I just bet the message of the story is going to be about why it's important to let go of the past, and move on from the things you used to know, and to stop being a grumpy old man who demands the world stay still for him, because we're young and new and it's our world, etc... ...in the FIFTH film from a series that began in the 1980s.
I'm willing to bet that the whole time-travel arc is motivated in the first place by Indy being killed in the modern day, which motivates his goddaughter's quest to go back and "set right what went wrong" by trying to change history. The old version is nowhere to be seen in the flashbacks.
Yeah I definitely think Indy will want to use the dial to fix or set something right from his past that at the end gives him peace of mind and he can enjoy his old age or something.
Something about the way that music just starts to melt and fall off at the end of that logo bit at the end of the trailer, it just captures the mood perfectly. It's the musical equivalent of "ughhh".
It's very fitting that the lyrics to Sympathy for the Devil start when Phoebe Waller Bridge's character first appears. Even their own trailer says she's literally Satan
I mean, ffs, the Nazis? AGAIN? You literally can't think of ANYONE ELSE to make the bad guy, besides secret Nazis? Its almost like this movie series, about a Jewish actor playing a Christian archeologist, fighting Nazis from 1936 to 1969, with Jewish hands ALL OVER writing and directing, is perhaps doing some propaganda work alongside shilling pulp trash to nostalgic gentiles.
Indiana Jones and the Dial Of A Dementia Diagnosis. Ford used to be a legend but if your already insanely rich and your earning a massive paycheck to star in a 300 million action movie that won't earn it's budget back at 80 fuckin years old and the vast majority of the stuff your character does is gonna be CGI green screen fakery you can fuck right off tbh. Raiders Of The Lost Ark is the greatest action film ever and a big part of that was because he actually did the majority of the stunt work and there is basically no CGI. This looks fuckin diabolical judging from the trailers it's basically a marvel movie.
I just can't believe how bereft of inspirational figures modern US culture is that media companies have to drag out 80 year old men to reprise roles they did 40 years ago in order to attract an audience.
It’s crazy how the past decade has had almost no iconic characters spawn out of movies, hell there hasn’t even been any successful franchises at all! The 60’s had Bond, Trek, Planet of the Apes, the 70’s had Star Wars, Rocky, Superman, Halloween, Alien, the 80’s had Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Rambo, Predator, the 90’s had Jurassic park, Matrix, Men in Black, Scream. Hell even decades before the 60’s they had Godzilla and Kong. Literally ALL of those franchises have been milked to this modern day somehow and it’s crazy. Now Hollywood has run out of stuff to bring back so they’re reaching into the only decade they have left which is the 2000’s and they made a shit Lord of the Rings show and now they’re gonna do the same with Harry Potter immediately after. Not to mentions Fast and the Furious is a 20+ year old series they still continue to bring out even though it’s meme’d to death. Maybe we’ll get some original franchises come soon because we haven’t had any for a LONG time. What did we get in the 2010’s? John Wick? Huger games? C’mon. Sorry for the rant lol
Yep culture ended in the year 2000. Its the same with music, sure young people will listen to the new stuff in social settings but eventually they discover they like older bands better when on their own.
They bring them out again, so they can tear them down and replace them. Come on, it ain't that difficult to see. Look at Luke's final appearances as an example.
@@TypeLproductions I blame a lot of it on the advances in CGI. While certainly there have been some amazing moment with CGI (LOTR trilogy as just one example), this has been seen as the "fix all" for mediocre films from around 2000 - 2012... but then movies became so bloated with special effects that the audience was like, "Oh look, here comes another massive CGI army to be destroyed..." So what else have they got now that they forgot how to write and the visual effects no longer "wow" us like they used to? Nothing... so they go back and milk the old stuff.
In reality, the ability to seize treasures/relics from other countries ended in 1919 (post WW1, international boundaries and property had to be codified). It has literally never happened since then. That’s why Howard Carter couldn’t take King Tuts treasures to the British Museum, when he discovered it in 1922.
Makes me think of that line that Mutt has in Crystal Skull where he asks Indy, "What are you, like, 80?" At the time, it was a funny over exaggeration. Now it's just a fact.
This makes me appreciate the Young Indiana Jones chronicles even more. And although Lucas erased the ‘Old’ Indy segments from that show, I’d rather see him as an old cranky guy wearing an eye patch, telling young kids his adventure stories, than have to watch what mess will be.
We watched the first three movies with the family because the kids hadn't seen them. For some reason I think we'll move on to a different franchise next movie night. I'm not subjecting them to cinematic child abuse.
I think it's really weird how the '80s sci-fi fictional future with neon lights synthwave and cyberpunk has become the actual way the '80s is remembered in pop culture.
Nostalgia for a time period that never actually existed lol. Though jokes aside, there was A LOT of neon prominently featured in almost every episode of Miami Vice. So I can see where the root stemmed from.
When in reality it was the opposite. Everything still maintained the remnants of the 70s and TV was mostly re-runs of old shows and movies from even later, sometimes in black and white. And adults were nostalgic for the 50s.
As much as I don't like Crystal Skull, I do really like Shia LaBeouf's character. He was cocky, hot-headed. A little full of himself. But he was also brave, capable, and adventurous. He actually had to go on an arc. And was not upstaging Indiana at basically any point. If he did continue the Indiana Jones legacy, I probably wouldn't have minded that much. This chick just feels like another Rey.
It was better than him not upstaging Indy, it was Indy upstaging him most times which made light of Mutt's admonishing him for being old and supposedly no longer capable.
Rey is just as much of a "Mary Sue", as Indy was as much of a flawless character in Raiders. You can't just have that double standard just because she's a different gender.
There was an interview from a couple of years ago with Shia LaBeouf where he explained the terms of his contract with Crystal Skull and any further productions was that he was the new 50s Indy going forwards, but then Kennedy and her Wrecking Krew of feminizes came in and said *absolutely not the next Indy will be a stronk in-powered wamons* and he wished he would have sued for breach but was told no one would help him to do that within the industry against Kennedy's iron fist rule. It's definitely since been memory holed, can't even find a scrap of it on any streaming services.
If they wanted to made the Yahtzees the villains again, they could have went the 'they escaped to South America' route and had them looking for some macguffin there to create another reich with a finale being in New Swabia, Antarctica and UFO's and possibly tie it back into Indy 4 . They did the time travel story to 1) be lazy since it worked in Endgame and 2) rewrite PWB as Indy.
They can’t do that story because then people would be asking questions about Operation Highjump. They want people to forget that, how in 1946 a whole battalion got their ass kicked by “unknown ships from unknown origin”.
Absolutely, I'd actually be interested in it some. It's nearly a modern Myth that the Nazis had a secret base in Antarctica ...Add Atlantis to the mix and they might have actually had a decent plot basis.
Eh, I don't think Indy would even work again. Ignoring both Temple & Kingdom, which ranged from mediocre to god-awful, the two proper Indy films followed a very specific pattern which replicating a third time would get dull. Also, aliens do NOT work with Indy. Neither do other religions. The whole base of Indiana Jones' good adventures are Christian-based artifacts from either proper sources or extensions such as Arthurian Legend.
Honestly, this kind of made me sad. Disney only knows how to destroy anymore. Indy 3 should have been the last one. Knowing when to stop seems a lost art
I don't even want to bother with it. We've had enough icons ruined. Indy has already been degraded in the trailer. I say we just be happy with ROTLA, TOD, and TLC.
@@eternalhalloween1 I never even bothered with the fourth one and I won’t bother with this one either. The Indy movies were products of the 80s that should be left as such.
@@marvinthemartian6788 Yea. Not to get too much into theology, but C.S. Lewis said that evil is essentially ruined goodness. And we have a concrete example with how Kathleen Kennedy is using Flea Bag to degrade Indy. It's more than upsetting. It's malignant.
Indiana Jones ended with Henry Sr., Junior, Sallah, and Marcus riding into the sunset. Everything since then has been a nightmare. A horrible, terrible nightmare.
It would have been nice if we’d seen he had trained a Team of his most talented students of different ages and we’d seen him respected and mentoring them for their Adventures. They could have thrown him a party at his sons house….
There is one problem with that premise. It sounds too good and too well written. Most movies today have to have a plot that is held together by rubber bands, office staples, and elmers glue.
I want that early leak about Waller-Bridge's character going back in time and essentially erasing Indiana Jones from existence, and putting herself at the center of all his iconic scenes, to be true so bad. It'd be the perfect summary of Kathleen Kennedy's run as head of Lucasfilm.
@@fattiger6957 Right? I mean there's undeniably a "type" she keeps inserting as leads, and it's starting to look like something for a psychologist to address.
Indiana Jones is special to me. I remember watching the movies with my grandparents when I was 7, always on the edge of my seat and excitedly waiting to see what treasure he was seeking again. When Indy was on, it was always an adventure for the greatest objects known to history. Which is why the dial of Destiny just sounds like a dumb item to go after. Why not have him go after The hammer of Thor or Excaliber whilst fighting cults or even better, young blood archeologists? That would be a better time than some random dial of diarrhea
Lots and lots of reshoots, Script changes etc. Add in the costs of bringing back expensive actors, redoing CGI etc. The general rule of thumb is that marketing costs the same again. So you could be looking at $600 million it needs to make back, so the actual box office numbers have to be even higher.
Supposedly PWB got 6 million dollars from Amazon to keep her on retainer, not to actually film anything, just to keep her around in case they wanted to make a show with her. I look at that kind of idiotic spending and can easily see where 300 mill went...
Mads Mikkelsen is a wonderful actor. But he is wasted in these big budget movies. He is at his best in indie movies. I feel sorry for him in these movies. He deserves better. He should have been Oscar nominated for 'Another Round' too and 'The Hunt'.
He should stick to his home country of Denmark, he’s always great in every Danish film he’s in (Drunk, A Royal Affair, The Hunt…) but he’s wasted in Hollywood.
@@marckfabyancic4287 yeah any comment about feeling sorry for actors is so amusing. Almost without exception they're empty headed, egotistical cretins who would step over you if you were dying in front of them.
As someone born in the late 60s, as a small child I was learning how•to•think and growing older observing the 'free love' teenagers around me caused me to hate them.
Nowadays it should be extremely clear that the 60s free love movement was mostly a media creation. Just like BLM and the gay stuff today. Don't forget all the Harvard professors running around spreading drugs telling kids to "drop out" of society. A lot of the stuff we are dealing with now was started in the 60s.

Back in the late 1980s or so Lucas had a Young Indiana Jones TV show. This would have been the way to go. They could have saved a ton of money while creating a new Disney+ series.
Indiana Jones and Star Wars both. Should have just made the original trilogies and everything that came before or after should've either be left to the imagination or depicted in a comic book series.
I absolutely love the contrast between the methods of TLP and Razor. TLP is completely pragmatic and lays out his view eloquently, Razor is total nuclear strike… 🤣

@@berendharmsen Yes, he's the guy who thinks that Aliens is ''not a great movie'' and that Eli Roth's crappy remake of ''Death Wish'', starring a sleepwalking Bruce Willis and that NOBODY watched or remembered, is a ''better action flick'' than John Wick. He also thinks that Stryper, the cringey 80's christian metal band is one of the greatest metal bands eva and that The Witcher is a rip-off of Elric, because both characters have white long hair, carrying a sword and wandering around in a dark fantasy world.

Forbes reported about a month ago that the filings from Disney's UK production company for this movie listed the initial production budget at 244.1 M GBP. Forbes then multiplied that by the current exchange rate of 1.2 USD to GBP and came up with a figure of 292 M USD. However, when the money was actually spent in 2021 - early 2022 during principal photography, the exchange rate was much higher. 1.4 USD to GBP. Meaning the actual production budget was 341 M USD. That's before the extensive reshoots and the Global Pints and Ads budget. Add in those and by the time this movie sees a movie screen, they will have spent well north of 500 M USD! We know that the Domestic (US/Canada) box office returns about 52% on average to the studio. International box office about 42%. So, depending on the domestic/foreign split, this movie needs about a Billion dollars just to break even. Indiana Jones and the Knob of Failure.
@@ScouserLegend Probably, but that's just guessing at what they've spent on reshoots. Based on confirmed numbers that I have available, a Billion is the number.

Remember when the last one had a decent scene about Indy being older and lamenting that fact because his friends and family were gone because he had outlived them all? Remember when there was that one insulting person who mentioned Indy’s age in the last one? Remember who it was actually justified as something the film needed to acknowledge so they had the immature character make a flippant comment? Remember when they cared about respecting the established character by having the insults coming from the insulting characters rather than directly from the director and producers?
@@kaczan3 Exactly. That movie was crappy because the plot was terrible, there was too many characters and A FUCKING ALIEN?! but it actually treated Indy himself pretty well, all things considered.
@@TheGodOfGravy for the time period crystal skull was set in and the background of the actual crystal skull? The premise wasn't that bad. I do think there was an over reliance on CGI but I would say the CGI was better than the marvel stuff we get today
@@Linkman247 Too much CGI was definitely a problem. Unnecessary too because a lot of it looks fine but is pointless. The prairie dogs is a perfect example. Why are they in the movie? The central premise is… a choice. Aliens is always going to be difficult for an Indy film but it could’ve been accepted if the rest of the film was excellent. However, everything else feels undercooked. Too many characters, to the point where a lot of them just stand around. Not enough grittiness which isn’t helped by the overuse of CGI. There’s maybe only 5 onscreen deaths and they’re all CGI related. Yes, they are horrible ways to die but you usually save the spectacle death till the end as the most horrific of them so that it really hits as a shocking death. It’s like the film just goes through the motions and never really really treats the acknowledgment of life on other planets as a big deal when really it should be the biggest discovery of all time.
With capable and not agenda-driven executives and writers, that could be an Indiana Jones film, where Indy has retired from teaching but still has that itch to go on that one last adventure. Maybe bring along Mutt, his biological son, who has learned the ropes of doing his own thing with experiences by the time of the setting, making him a competent heir to continue Indy's work, where he actually earns the hat Indy wears and his respect, like Indy had to do with his father in Last Crusade. But ultimately, this series ended with the Last Crusade. I would take this kind of story over Phoebe Waller-Bridge's self-insert, trying to upstage an 80+-year-old Indy in his own film, good job, you upstage a man far from his prime and probably riddled with arthritis, probably senile, if not more tired, to push Indiana Jane to replace him; so inspiring, so brave. Clearly, the writers at LucasFilm thought this through. 😏😂
It honestly feels like KK is intentionally trying to undo her predecessors work. Considering the rumors of her input being ignored when the movies were made it's probably along the lines of: "Your stuff sucks! I'm now going to make it the way it always should have been!" And when there's backlash from fans it hurts her pride, causing her to double down.
Some years ago, Mike from Red Letter Media made a passing joke about how KK is getting revenge fro all the years she had to get Speilberg his coffee lol.
@@mrconroy4672 If it's anything like Tom Rothman, they'll give her a cushy job at another production house, and she can continue her "legacy" unabated.
This is why franchises need to be allowed to end. The longer you drag them out, the worse they become. ESPECIALLY today with the woke running Hollowweird.
Stallone making a "do-over" of Rocky 5 with Rocky 6 (and to a lesser extent, the "Creed" movies) might be the only example of a franchise *saving itself* froma bad ending by having a long delayed sequel where the character is too old but proves they've still got it.
I actually got in an argument over returning artifacts to cultures once. The library of Alexandria was a hub of knowledge and fact in the ancient world and when it burned, we lost thousands of years of history. The same thing occurred in large parts with WW1 and 2 when hundreds of museums, libraries and architecture were destroyed. By consolidating history in one single area, you risk the destruction of that culture should the worst happen (whether natural or man-made). Such consolidation also limits next generations from experiencing it in person vs seeing a picture in a textbook. There is more benefit to sharing in museums than harboring treasures where only the locals and tourists can see it.
Same applies to concentrating too much of one culture/era in any one geographic location. Too many eggs in a single basket. Spread them around, rotate them around, more to see and experience, lower damage when something happens. (Because given sufficient time, something will happen.)
Except that the Library of Alexandria one is kind of a myth. When one uses that term, which library are we talking about? There was more than one, even in ancient Ptolemaic times. And all the knowledge of the ancient world was never stored in just one place. Whatever scrolls were found on ships coming into port, they made copies of and those copies were returned to the ship while the originals were retained in Alexandria, the information wasn't lost. Even the famous Museum of Alexandria wasn't really a cache of artifacts it was more like a think tank. The fire oft cited as evil Christian bigots destroying all knowledge of the ancient world in Alexandria is highly exaggerated. It's debatable if they had any scrolls at all by then, or if it was just a waning pagan shrine. Not that any deaths in that incident are justified, just that it's morphed into a kind of neo-atheist myth, perpetuated by agenda films like Agora. Bottomline, preservation of knowledge isn't a bad thing. Western civilization is right to do so.
Harrison Ford is a legend who made a great series of films, female cultural vandals get their feet under the table and have nothing to contribute but to steal his legacy and tear chunks off him for being an 'old white man'
_"Indiana Jones and the frame of Dr Zimmer.."_ _Perhaps the reason why Indy says 'God-daughter' is so that the bartender is left in no doubt whatsoever that he just has very poor luck when it comes to extended family members, rather than him having excruciatingly poor taste in women._
I miss the days when you had to be attractive, talented or charismatic before they'd point a camera at you. I could look at my big toe and then at Waller-Bridge and feel the same. Although I'd miss my big toe if it wasn't there.
She wrote a play (Fleabag) which became a TV show which resonated with a particular crowd of upper middle class, Russell Group metropolitan types (predominantly women), who are largely over represented in media circles. Cue silly amounts of hype.
What? You don't like it when multi-million dollar movies, made by multi-billion dollar corporations, and featuring millionaire actors, tell you that capitalism baaaad? 🙃
Fits quite well in with the pseudo marxist ideology they spout - capitalism is bad 'well for you plebs it is' but we love it and will embrace it. Roughly translated more for us, less for you and be happy - idiots.
While I have no doubt there will be a line in the new film that says Indiana Jones should be in a museum, Panama Hat already told him that in Last Crusade.

Remember that era where Disney made like, Little Mermaid 2 and Lion King 1 1/2? Remember how parents pretty much ignored these movies and just kept showing their kids the classics while ignoring the cash-in junk of the same franchise? That's gonna be this era. Everyone will remember this time as the era of beloved movies getting garbage sequels 20 years later.
Yeah, i remember those awful straight-to-video sequels to Disney's animated classics like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. Disney nearly tarnished their legacy with that awful decision but then they came to their senses and put a stop in it. In this case, it isnt that simple. They refuse to accept that most people don't want anti-male, fem inist, SJW crap in their movies. Despite fan backlash and ample evidence of "Go woke, go broke," The Message is too important and MUST be forced down our throats.. whether we like it or not.
@Crunch630 That movie will forever be goated for the ending with the silhouettes of all the different Disney characters showing up to watch the movie, and the payoff of Pumba's crowds joke
Indiana Jones and the Dial Of A Dementia Diagnosis. Harrison Ford is a bellend for doing a 300 million action film at 80 years of age I don't care how many people think he's a legend.
I will say James Mangold has a stellar repertoire. Walk the line, 3:10 to Yuma, Logan, Ford V Ferrari.. I have hope it’ll at least be competently made, regardless of the agendas
You just know the trailers are very selectively edited to make it look like a normal Indiana Jones film. But watch it and there will lots of messaging.
It's baffling why they don't just recast a new young actor as Indy and get the IP back to its original setting in the Hollywood version of 1930s-40s to tell more adventure stories from his younger days.
2:35 "Why would you say that to a bartender..." Well, if I were 80, and a regular, and buying a drink for a 30-something - I'd say that to avoid the "sad old man hitting on someone" vibe.
This whole time I was pissed off at the idea of her being the daughter of Marcus Brody, but I am happy that she is the daughter of Toby Jones, who is a new character. At least they're not messing with Marcus's legacy.
Brace yourself though, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a line in there implying that Marcus was gay, since Denholm Elliott was bisexual in real life (and died of AIDS).
They could've had his son, still played by Shia LeBeouf, have a legitimate reason to search for Atlantis and along the way also discover Amelia Earhart's preserved body and plane with the necessary item to locate Atlantis. That might have been cool. However, Disney is now creatively bankrupt and with a woke agenda of misandry.
They didn't even need to waste that amount on the budget. All you need is Harrison, a desert and a good story. Usual Lucasfilm mismanagement where they don't know what they're doing at the outset so have to throw huge amounts of money at it for reshoots and alterations.

I cannot watch this trailer and then associate it with Raiders. I cannot make the connection.
Wait poor people like you who get abused by their authority chef seriously supports capitalism? Damn. Like unironically?
The Nazis’ were pure Evil and Power driven that didn’t care who they stole from or what they stole as they left nothing behind but ruin and death. Indy stealing an artifact from a literal Nazi is saving a piece of history, and the one woman with the British accent that stole from Indiana Jones, protector of rare antiquities really wants to use the Capitalism argument really!? I still wish it could have been the “Spear of Destiny” with his son, the new shows and movies with terrible stories kill the franchises.
That line doesn't even work. "It's called archaeology" would've still been a shitty line but it at least would've made sense.
I hate that because I cannot relate to somebody flawless. I do mistakes and I would see such a perfect protagonist humiliating me to feel herself better.
Crystal Skull isn't a good film at all, but it did have two things I liked: Shia Labouf playing Indy's son as a 50s biker, and the ending, which essentially had Indy "walk into the sunset" but remains himself and serves as a good conclusion to the series.
I have a feeling that Indiana Jones 5 will make the fourth film look like a masterpiece
Not sure how you came to that conclusion
What fourth film?
@@RabbitShirak …The Crystal Skull
I actually I don’t think the fourth film is that bad.
And some insist people should watch it again. Once was enough for me.
Who would want to watch an eighty-year old Indiana Jones in a film not written, produced, and directed by Lucas and Spielberg?
Why would Disney spend more than $100 million on this terrible idea?
Try $300m plus $150m for marketing
Because they have their marching orders and their government stipend to make this trash
Because Donald Trump and white men probably
They must have thought there was a market for it. Which means out of touch Boomer execs in control.
Laundering money is the only explanation I can think of.
They're going to turn the franchise into Lesbiana Jones and the Temple of Poon.
Noice.😂
😂😂😂
That actually sounds interesting
O'h what the hell! I'd watch it. You know, take one for the team?
They'll get to every site where there's some treasure and one of the characters will say "you can't appropriate that, that's someone's culture" followed by "The End".
Y'know what the worst thing is?
Considering Indy's retirement and his age are clearly going to be big parts of the story, plus the time-travel element... I just bet the message of the story is going to be about why it's important to let go of the past, and move on from the things you used to know, and to stop being a grumpy old man who demands the world stay still for him, because we're young and new and it's our world, etc...
...in the FIFTH film from a series that began in the 1980s.
"let the past die. Kill it if you have too" -Some emo dude
Yup they tried the same with Star Wars
I'm willing to bet that the whole time-travel arc is motivated in the first place by Indy being killed in the modern day, which motivates his goddaughter's quest to go back and "set right what went wrong" by trying to change history. The old version is nowhere to be seen in the flashbacks.
Yeah I definitely think Indy will want to use the dial to fix or set something right from his past that at the end gives him peace of mind and he can enjoy his old age or something.
And the early 80s at that (1981)
Something about the way that music just starts to melt and fall off at the end of that logo bit at the end of the trailer, it just captures the mood perfectly. It's the musical equivalent of "ughhh".
It's very fitting that the lyrics to Sympathy for the Devil start when Phoebe Waller Bridge's character first appears.
Even their own trailer says she's literally Satan
Satan is at least complex and interesting. I don't think PWB could pull off playing Satan.

Its almost like this movie series, about a Jewish actor playing a Christian archeologist, fighting Nazis from 1936 to 1969, with Jewish hands ALL OVER writing and directing, is perhaps doing some propaganda work alongside shilling pulp trash to nostalgic gentiles.

Indiana Jones and the Dial Of A Dementia Diagnosis. Ford used to be a legend but if your already insanely rich and your earning a massive paycheck to star in a 300 million action movie that won't earn it's budget back at 80 fuckin years old and the vast majority of the stuff your character does is gonna be CGI green screen fakery you can fuck right off tbh. Raiders Of The Lost Ark is the greatest action film ever and a big part of that was because he actually did the majority of the stunt work and there is basically no CGI. This looks fuckin diabolical judging from the trailers it's basically a marvel movie.
I giggled and had to rewind and hear it again. It is so good. 😂
Cause it wasnt good and completely mean spirited.
I like the part where Indiana drops the Chalice of Chauvinism and she turns to him, grabs his shoulder and says, ‘Let it go, Indie…’
I loved the part when Waller-Bridge breaks the fourth wall and says she's using the dial of destiny to go back and sleep with young Harrison Ford...
I just can't believe how bereft of inspirational figures modern US culture is that media companies have to drag out 80 year old men to reprise roles they did 40 years ago in order to attract an audience.
It’s crazy how the past decade has had almost no iconic characters spawn out of movies, hell there hasn’t even been any successful franchises at all! The 60’s had Bond, Trek, Planet of the Apes, the 70’s had Star Wars, Rocky, Superman, Halloween, Alien, the 80’s had Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Rambo, Predator, the 90’s had Jurassic park, Matrix, Men in Black, Scream. Hell even decades before the 60’s they had Godzilla and Kong.
Literally ALL of those franchises have been milked to this modern day somehow and it’s crazy. Now Hollywood has run out of stuff to bring back so they’re reaching into the only decade they have left which is the 2000’s and they made a shit Lord of the Rings show and now they’re gonna do the same with Harry Potter immediately after. Not to mentions Fast and the Furious is a 20+ year old series they still continue to bring out even though it’s meme’d to death. Maybe we’ll get some original franchises come soon because we haven’t had any for a LONG time. What did we get in the 2010’s? John Wick? Huger games? C’mon.
Sorry for the rant lol
@@TypeLproductions the world ended in 1999,
Welcome matrix
Yep culture ended in the year 2000. Its the same with music, sure young people will listen to the new stuff in social settings but eventually they discover they like older bands better when on their own.
They bring them out again, so they can tear them down and replace them. Come on, it ain't that difficult to see. Look at Luke's final appearances as an example.
@@TypeLproductions I blame a lot of it on the advances in CGI. While certainly there have been some amazing moment with CGI (LOTR trilogy as just one example), this has been seen as the "fix all" for mediocre films from around 2000 - 2012... but then movies became so bloated with special effects that the audience was like, "Oh look, here comes another massive CGI army to be destroyed..." So what else have they got now that they forgot how to write and the visual effects no longer "wow" us like they used to? Nothing... so they go back and milk the old stuff.
In reality, the ability to seize treasures/relics from other countries ended in 1919 (post WW1, international boundaries and property had to be codified).
It has literally never happened since then.
That’s why Howard Carter couldn’t take King Tuts treasures to the British Museum, when he discovered it in 1922.
Makes me think of that line that Mutt has in Crystal Skull where he asks Indy, "What are you, like, 80?" At the time, it was a funny over exaggeration. Now it's just a fact.
"Indiana Jane and the femple of womb" I genuinely chuckled at that one. Don't think it got the reception it deserved.
Yeah it was a goodun
you're right. it should've gotten less
This makes me appreciate the Young Indiana Jones chronicles even more. And although Lucas erased the ‘Old’ Indy segments from that show, I’d rather see him as an old cranky guy wearing an eye patch, telling young kids his adventure stories, than have to watch what mess will be.
The final Indiana Jones film was The Last Crusade.
Last, as in the end.
And it ended perfectly with them riding off into the sunset. Anything after that is a drunken hallucination.
@@DanCooper404 Or a hellish nightmare.
We watched the first three movies with the family because the kids hadn't seen them. For some reason I think we'll move on to a different franchise next movie night. I'm not subjecting them to cinematic child abuse.
Didn't even like that one tbh. Raiders and Temple are the only good Indiana Jones movies.
And you still have them. No one's forcing you to watch past that.
I think it's really weird how the '80s sci-fi fictional future with neon lights synthwave and cyberpunk has become the actual way the '80s is remembered in pop culture.
Nostalgia for a time period that never actually existed lol. Though jokes aside, there was A LOT of neon prominently featured in almost every episode of Miami Vice. So I can see where the root stemmed from.
True. The 80s looked more like Terminator where women had big hair, men had mullets, and there was trash everywhere.
When in reality it was the opposite. Everything still maintained the remnants of the 70s and TV was mostly re-runs of old shows and movies from even later, sometimes in black and white. And adults were nostalgic for the 50s.
the actual future turned up to be kinda disapointing
True, when I think of the 80s I think of wood panel walls, ugly sofas, and ashtrays
As much as I don't like Crystal Skull, I do really like Shia LaBeouf's character. He was cocky, hot-headed. A little full of himself. But he was also brave, capable, and adventurous. He actually had to go on an arc. And was not upstaging Indiana at basically any point. If he did continue the Indiana Jones legacy, I probably wouldn't have minded that much. This chick just feels like another Rey.
I didn't mind Shia at all. And he's a great actor. Disturbia, The Peanut Butter Falcon those are great performances.
LeBeouf was playing himself.
@@marckfabyancic4287How so?
It was better than him not upstaging Indy, it was Indy upstaging him most times which made light of Mutt's admonishing him for being old and supposedly no longer capable.
Rey is just as much of a "Mary Sue", as Indy was as much of a flawless character in Raiders.
You can't just have that double standard just because she's a different gender.
That CGI of them falling out of the plane instantly reminded me of Ace Rimmer in Red Dwarf chasing a Nazi out of a plane while surfing an alligator 😂😂
Smoke me a kipper
There was an interview from a couple of years ago with Shia LaBeouf where he explained the terms of his contract with Crystal Skull and any further productions was that he was the new 50s Indy going forwards, but then Kennedy and her Wrecking Krew of feminizes came in and said *absolutely not the next Indy will be a stronk in-powered wamons* and he wished he would have sued for breach but was told no one would help him to do that within the industry against Kennedy's iron fist rule.
It's definitely since been memory holed, can't even find a scrap of it on any streaming services.
Desantis is an attorney.
If they wanted to made the Yahtzees the villains again, they could have went the 'they escaped to South America' route and had them looking for some macguffin there to create another reich with a finale being in New Swabia, Antarctica and UFO's and possibly tie it back into Indy 4 . They did the time travel story to 1) be lazy since it worked in Endgame and 2) rewrite PWB as Indy.
They can’t do that story because then people would be asking questions about Operation Highjump. They want people to forget that, how in 1946 a whole battalion got their ass kicked by “unknown ships from unknown origin”.
Absolutely, I'd actually be interested in it some. It's nearly a modern Myth that the Nazis had a secret base in Antarctica ...Add Atlantis to the mix and they might have actually had a decent plot basis.
"Indiana Jones and the Lost Realm of Agartha"
Eh, I don't think Indy would even work again. Ignoring both Temple & Kingdom, which ranged from mediocre to god-awful, the two proper Indy films followed a very specific pattern which replicating a third time would get dull.
Also, aliens do NOT work with Indy. Neither do other religions. The whole base of Indiana Jones' good adventures are Christian-based artifacts from either proper sources or extensions such as Arthurian Legend.

“This scene has been shot 9 times, and once by your father.”
I want that early leak about Waller-Bridge's character going back in time and essentially erasing Indiana Jones from existence, and putting herself at the center of all his iconic scenes, to be true so bad. It'd be the perfect summary of Kathleen Kennedy's run as head of Lucasfilm.
Waller-Bridge is KK's avatar and muse, thats pretty obvious.

Indiana Jones is special to me. I remember watching the movies with my grandparents when I was 7, always on the edge of my seat and excitedly waiting to see what treasure he was seeking again. When Indy was on, it was always an adventure for the greatest objects known to history. Which is why the dial of Destiny just sounds like a dumb item to go after. Why not have him go after The hammer of Thor or Excaliber whilst fighting cults or even better, young blood archeologists?

How the hell did this movie cost $300 million?
All the CGI work to make Harrison Ford look younger, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge has secret bank accounts. 🤣
Bro you seen how much Harrison Ford asks on his checks ?
Lots and lots of reshoots, Script changes etc. Add in the costs of bringing back expensive actors, redoing CGI etc. The general rule of thumb is that marketing costs the same again. So you could be looking at $600 million it needs to make back, so the actual box office numbers have to be even higher.
Supposedly PWB got 6 million dollars from Amazon to keep her on retainer, not to actually film anything, just to keep her around in case they wanted to make a show with her. I look at that kind of idiotic spending and can easily see where 300 mill went...
Reshoots.
Mads Mikkelsen is a wonderful actor. But he is wasted in these big budget movies. He is at his best in indie movies. I feel sorry for him in these movies. He deserves better. He should have been Oscar nominated for 'Another Round' too and 'The Hunt'.

He should stick to his home country of Denmark, he’s always great in every Danish film he’s in (Drunk, A Royal Affair, The Hunt…) but he’s wasted in Hollywood.

Forbes reported about a month ago that the filings from Disney's UK production company for this movie listed the initial production budget at 244.1 M GBP. Forbes then multiplied that by the current exchange rate of 1.2 USD to GBP and came up with a figure of 292 M USD. However, when the money was actually spent in 2021 - early 2022 during principal photography, the exchange rate was much higher. 1.4 USD to GBP. Meaning the actual production budget was 341 M USD. That's before the extensive reshoots and the Global Pints and Ads budget. Add in those and by the time this movie sees a movie screen, they will have spent well north of 500 M USD!
We know that the Domestic (US/Canada) box office returns about 52% on average to the studio. International box office about 42%. So, depending on the domestic/foreign split, this movie needs about a Billion dollars just to break even. Indiana Jones and the Knob of Failure.
By the time it’s all done and dusted it would need well over a billion to break even
@@ScouserLegend Probably, but that's just guessing at what they've spent on reshoots. Based on confirmed numbers that I have available, a Billion is the number.

Too much CGI was definitely a problem. Unnecessary too because a lot of it looks fine but is pointless. The prairie dogs is a perfect example. Why are they in the movie?
The central premise is… a choice. Aliens is always going to be difficult for an Indy film but it could’ve been accepted if the rest of the film was excellent. However, everything else feels undercooked.
Too many characters, to the point where a lot of them just stand around. Not enough grittiness which isn’t helped by the overuse of CGI. There’s maybe only 5 onscreen deaths and they’re all CGI related. Yes, they are horrible ways to die but you usually save the spectacle death till the end as the most horrific of them so that it really hits as a shocking death.
It’s like the film just goes through the motions and never really really treats the acknowledgment of life on other planets as a big deal when really it should be the biggest discovery of all time.
@@TheGodOfGravy The aliens were from a different dimension not another planet.
from Harrisons age it should be set in 1979. Would have got to see Indy in the Disco era.
With capable and not agenda-driven executives and writers, that could be an Indiana Jones film, where Indy has retired from teaching but still has that itch to go on that one last adventure. Maybe bring along Mutt, his biological son, who has learned the ropes of doing his own thing with experiences by the time of the setting, making him a competent heir to continue Indy's work, where he actually earns the hat Indy wears and his respect, like Indy had to do with his father in Last Crusade. But ultimately, this series ended with the Last Crusade. I would take this kind of story over Phoebe Waller-Bridge's self-insert, trying to upstage an 80+-year-old Indy in his own film, good job, you upstage a man far from his prime and probably riddled with arthritis, probably senile, if not more tired, to push Indiana Jane to replace him; so inspiring, so brave.

I actually got in an argument over returning artifacts to cultures once.
The library of Alexandria was a hub of knowledge and fact in the ancient world and when it burned, we lost thousands of years of history. The same thing occurred in large parts with WW1 and 2 when hundreds of museums, libraries and architecture were destroyed.
By consolidating history in one single area, you risk the destruction of that culture should the worst happen (whether natural or man-made). Such consolidation also limits next generations from experiencing it in person vs seeing a picture in a textbook.
There is more benefit to sharing in museums than harboring treasures where only the locals and tourists can see it.
Same applies to concentrating too much of one culture/era in any one geographic location. Too many eggs in a single basket. Spread them around, rotate them around, more to see and experience, lower damage when something happens. (Because given sufficient time, something will happen.)
Except that the Library of Alexandria one is kind of a myth. When one uses that term, which library are we talking about? There was more than one, even in ancient Ptolemaic times. And all the knowledge of the ancient world was never stored in just one place. Whatever scrolls were found on ships coming into port, they made copies of and those copies were returned to the ship while the originals were retained in Alexandria, the information wasn't lost. Even the famous Museum of Alexandria wasn't really a cache of artifacts it was more like a think tank. The fire oft cited as evil Christian bigots destroying all knowledge of the ancient world in Alexandria is highly exaggerated. It's debatable if they had any scrolls at all by then, or if it was just a waning pagan shrine. Not that any deaths in that incident are justified, just that it's morphed into a kind of neo-atheist myth, perpetuated by agenda films like Agora.
Bottomline, preservation of knowledge isn't a bad thing. Western civilization is right to do so.

I miss the days when you had to be attractive, talented or charismatic before they'd point a camera at you. I could look at my big toe and then at Waller-Bridge and feel the same. Although I'd miss my big toe if it wasn't there.
Yeah i don't know why Hollywood keeps trying to make Phoebe Waller-Bridge a thing. Especially on- screen. She has the face of an English pudding.
She has the correct politics and she will bludgeon you over the head with them as hard as she can. That's why she gets work
@@hv3115 And the jaw line of a horse.
She wrote a play (Fleabag) which became a TV show which resonated with a particular crowd of upper middle class, Russell Group metropolitan types (predominantly women), who are largely over represented in media circles. Cue silly amounts of hype.
@@frankspeakmore7104 Maybe Indy’s her godfather but she looks like her real father was MR ED.
Indy 5 is gonna make Crystal Skull look like Raiders of the Lost Ark
Bait and switch is the only thing KK has in her quiver of sorrow
I remember watching Raiders as an 8 year old thinking, what this story is missing is an image of Indy asleep in front of the tellie.
The capitalism line (possibly) ruined any hope I had on this movie!
What? You don't like it when multi-million dollar movies, made by multi-billion dollar corporations, and featuring millionaire actors, tell you that capitalism baaaad? 🙃
Corporate hollywood refuses to let beloved franchise die to squeeze every last drop of nostalgia money from it.
"Capitalism is bad m'kay"
@@dragonforks93 "See, that's why our movies suck - to prove the point!"
Fits quite well in with the pseudo marxist ideology they spout - capitalism is bad 'well for you plebs it is' but we love it and will embrace it. Roughly translated more for us, less for you and be happy - idiots.
Capitalism and Communism are both sides of the same coin, same tribe behind Communism controls Hollywood and pretty much every major institution.
"Same for the character exposition..."
Embarrassing that this level of scripting is now just accepted.
While I have no doubt there will be a line in the new film that says Indiana Jones should be in a museum, Panama Hat already told him that in Last Crusade.
This movie is just going to be absolute sadness on every level.
Every time I watch a video of peeps reviewing the trailer, when Helena says the line "Take chances, make mistakes" I half expect Miss Frizzle from The Magic School Bus to finish with "Get messy!" XD
The best use of Sympathy for the Devil I know of was at the end of Interview with the Vampire.
Facts
So overly used
Remember that era where Disney made like, Little Mermaid 2 and Lion King 1 1/2? Remember how parents pretty much ignored these movies and just kept showing their kids the classics while ignoring the cash-in junk of the same franchise? That's gonna be this era. Everyone will remember this time as the era of beloved movies getting garbage sequels 20 years later.
Yeah, i remember those awful straight-to-video sequels to Disney's animated classics like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. Disney nearly tarnished their legacy with that awful decision but then they came to their senses and put a stop in it. In this case, it isnt that simple. They refuse to accept that most people don't want anti-male, fem inist, SJW crap in their movies. Despite fan backlash and ample evidence of "Go woke, go broke," The Message is too important and MUST be forced down our throats.. whether we like it or not.
Lion King 1 and a half was great though... It was animated and authentic. Fun to relive events from the first movie in a different perspective.
@Crunch630 That movie will forever be goated for the ending with the silhouettes of all the different Disney characters showing up to watch the movie, and the payoff of Pumba's crowds joke
@@DepravedCoTApologist oh Yeah! Thank you for reminding me about that. That was fun.
hey 1-1/2 was good, i'll die on that hill.
Dial of Destiny has an Egg Timer of Dinner feeling lol
😂
"You belong in a museum," is inevitable-- kudos.
Can't wait for the sequel- Indiana Jones and the search for the Irish Spring.
He is older than Joe Biden. Would anyone go to watch an action movie starring Joe Biden?
@@phonepunk7888 If it features him falling down or up stairs for 90 minutes, I'm there in the theater on release day.
Indian Jones and the quest for the remote
Indiana Jones and the Dial Of A Dementia Diagnosis. Harrison Ford is a bellend for doing a 300 million action film at 80 years of age I don't care how many people think he's a legend.
i swear film makers just have a list of songs to put in movies and nothing else,
Like The Marvels, this film has had so many reshoots and postponements I’m guessing it’s going to be a train wreck
I will say James Mangold has a stellar repertoire. Walk the line, 3:10 to Yuma, Logan, Ford V Ferrari..
I have hope it’ll at least be competently made, regardless of the agendas
-Phoebe, we're home..
-Oh, shut up old man!
You just know the trailers are very selectively edited to make it look like a normal Indiana Jones film. But watch it and there will lots of messaging.
The trailer is mostly a rich British woman scolding Indy. If this was selectively edited then she must spend 100% the runtime belittling him.
@@phonepunk7888 Didn't she woke Bond as well? 😂
Old Indiana Jones in the 1960s will meet a CGI James Bond and say 'dad!'
Indiana Jones the Godfather Part IV has all the excitement of Terminator Dark Fate.
Shia Lebouf as Indy Jr. sounds pretty good right now tbh.
It's baffling why they don't just recast a new young actor as Indy and get the IP back to its original setting in the Hollywood version of 1930s-40s to tell more adventure stories from his younger days.
2:35 "Why would you say that to a bartender..." Well, if I were 80, and a regular, and buying a drink for a 30-something - I'd say that to avoid the "sad old man hitting on someone" vibe.
😂"sad"
But if you were a regular, you probably wouldn't call him "bartender" because you'd know his name.
Good to see the Critical Doggo joining in on the discussion
Him sleeping through it makes it much better
Critical Doggo has made sure his butt is in the centre to show what he thinks. 😄
That dog is probably smarter then every person in that video.
They could not look more like a dudebro incel.
This whole time I was pissed off at the idea of her being the daughter of Marcus Brody, but I am happy that she is the daughter of Toby Jones, who is a new character. At least they're not messing with Marcus's legacy.
Brace yourself though, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a line in there implying that Marcus was gay, since Denholm Elliott was bisexual in real life (and died of AIDS).
I wanted her to be the daughter of Martin Brody, .. and I wanted the son of Jaws to swallow her whole.
Honestly the 4th had a cool message of how knowledge was the true treasure
They could've had his son, still played by Shia LeBeouf, have a legitimate reason to search for Atlantis and along the way also discover Amelia Earhart's preserved body and plane with the necessary item to locate Atlantis. That might have been cool. However, Disney is now creatively bankrupt and with a woke agenda of misandry.
They didn't even need to waste that amount on the budget. All you need is Harrison, a desert and a good story. Usual Lucasfilm mismanagement where they don't know what they're doing at the outset so have to throw huge amounts of money at it for reshoots and alterations.
Drinking gabe for Indy 5: Whenever the goddaughter says anything, you say "Shut up, Meg" and take a shot.
That's not a game, that's suicide
Equally valid option upon experiencing this movie…
the world could use less incels... drink up
11:15 There's a nice cross section of why *I love Little Platoon.* Glad to know the insight and dry wit can be summoned on command.
The Critical Doggo: "I'm gonna continue slumping over here and sleep."
Critical Doggo continues to provide the best takes. 🐶
Madds Mikkelsen as the villain. How original.
I know, its because he is now generic Western European actor for hire for all your bad guy needs. He is so much better than that.
Still gonna watch the movie for him alone
Americans just love making foreigners the bad buy.
Usually it's Germans but Madds is close enough.
@@didinx8417 True, watch Another Round, Madds' dancing is something to behold.
@@didinx8417 He really is lowering himself lately. From Grindelwald stand in to whatever the hell this is, he can do much better.
