    You forgot that one :

    Well, there was already a crossover between Indy and Han Solo (of sorts, they didn't meet). So these ones seem plausible enough. Especially since GI Joe, Godzilla and the Alien/Predatorverse have been part of the Marvel Universe at one time or another in the past.

    Exactly.

    This is good, Lucas and Spielberg are big video game players.

    Also, I think it's time to rename this thread to just Indiana Jones. Dial of Density is over a year old now.

    It has looked impressive so far, and is coming to PS5 as well. I hope it might kick off a bit of interest in Indy.

    Yep, GL pretty much had a say in what happened in both SW and IJ games. Spielberg has been playing since Jaws at least. He reportedly is always updating to whatever the current generation of consoles are there.

    It has looked impressive so far. I think the interest in Indy is there. Disney really didn't do as much for DOD as they should have. A novelization, for one thing. I enjoyed it for what it was. As for The Great Circle, I noticed that we're going to Egypt. Could Sallah be making an appearance? We know that Marcus Brody is, and maybe Marion as it takes place after their separation. This could be the comeback that Indiana Jones needs!

    What do you think of Indiana Jones and the Ancient Skull Kingdom instead of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

    I rather like the Ancient addition. This title seems to not fit with the others. I have struggled with what was missing and you may have hit it with the Ancient addition and the removal of Crystal.

    Now how could we improve Dial of Destiny? That sounds to me like something Chat GPT came up with.

    I thought John Williams' soundtrack had the right idea: I'd go with
    Indiana Jones and the Call of the Crystal Skull

    'Kingdom' was just one syllable too many for me.

    Indiana Jones and the Date with History.

    I like all these alternative titles for Indy 4 and 5, @mtm @Mendes4Lyfe @thedove I’m just happy that Indy 4 wasn’t called The Saucermen or Attack of the Giant Ants (George Lucas’ suggestions) or The Son of Indiana Jones (David Koepp’s suggestion). Date with History would have worked as well @Mendes4Lyfe interesting suggestion.

    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Skull would have been a strong title - not too much of a mouthful and a bit of bite to it.

    Indy 5 Indiana Jones and an Adventure too Far.

    I’ve loved every Indiana Jones film, and the harsh criticism directed at the latest installment feels completely unfair and frustrating.

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny delivered an exhilarating experience with its thrilling action sequences, stellar performances, and engaging storyline—far surpassing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Under James Mangold’s direction, the film provided a fitting and satisfying conclusion to Indiana’s journey, seamlessly tying into the original series. It captured the nostalgic essence that fans cherish, and the writers deserve praise for bringing Jones back for one final adventure.

    Dial of Destiny is a standout in the adventure genre, and those who criticize it should take a second look.

    I agree with you. It's a fine send off for the character and Ford was excellent.

    I'd love to agree but it's the weakest output in the series for me and not one I've had the slightest interest in revisiting. Maybe I'll re-assess it in a few years' time. I'm happy some found something to love about it but I don't think one needs to feel frustrated that others didn't love a movie they did.

    Right on, man! I watched it about five times by now, and enjoyed each viewing immensely.

    Just purchased The Temple of Doom soundtrack on CD, why I never bought this years ago is beyond me its right up there with Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    My ranking for the Indy scores is in order of the films release dates...

    ROTLA
    TOD
    TLC
    KOTCS
    DOD

    Indiana Jones and the Call of Destiny would've been a better title for Dial imo.
    Indy 5 Indiana Jones and an Adventure too Far.
    Indiana Jones and the Crystal Huckle?
    ...
    Nah.

    +1. Give me Helena and Voller over Mac or Spalko any day.

    This is pretty sweet: a tomb packed with 12 human skeletons and artifacts estimated to be roughly 2,000 years old was recently found underneath a filming location that was used in TLC in Petra, Jordan:

    I don't hate the movie but it pisses me off that it has more CGI and has a sillier ending than the previous one.
