  • I stand by my opinion that The Mask of Zorro is one of the greatest adventure movies ever made. It's so beautifully filmed and lovingly crafted, with wonderful performances, a sweeping score, stunning landscapes, a vivid sense of place and time, an…

  • Not having seen Oppenheimer yet (I plan to this weekend), I've been sitting on the sidelines for this discussion. But it does raise some very fascinating questions about the nature of opinion vs. fact, especially when it comes to art. There are so…

  • I enjoyed the film quite a bit, but I'm having trouble loving it. After thinking back on it, I think I may have figured out why. (Spoiler)

  • I saw it Monday night and enjoyed it very, very much. I'll need to see it again to collect my thoughts but overall I thought it was great fun. I would definitely recommend it and I would also recommend seeing on a big screen for maximum effect.

  • From what I have seen from the Indy fans posting reviews, you have to lower your expectations and understand that this movie was never going to be on par with the original trilogy. Just go in expecting a later-day Ford on one last fun adventure - a…
  • At the moment, DoD is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, for those who care about such things: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/indiana_jones_and_the_dial_of_destiny

  • I love KOTCS but AMEN to "needing more script passes." There are some good reasons mentioned here already but I would add my own: What happens to either the FBI subplot or the KGB subplot? They're both completely dropped after the Marshall College…

  • I love Bond more than anything in the world (pop culture-wise, at least) so I hate to talk bad about it...but this seriously looks like Cruise and McQ watched SPECTRE and said, "Oh, that's cute...but can we make a REAL car chase in Rome now?"
  • I really like the set in the clip, and I absolutely love the lighting. I hope this might alleviate some concerns that Helena takes charge of the movie from Indy; here it's pretty clear that Indy is solving the puzzle and taking the initiative.
  • Also a great review from Germain Lussier, a pretty reputable critic: https://gizmodo.com/indiana-jones-5-review-harrison-ford-dial-of-destiny-1850518708
  • 9/10 review from this YouTuber. Do we know anything about him? He has a lot of content and seems to be a pretty positive guy, so maybe he's the type of fan who's more generous upon first seeing a movie than they should be (cough cough, me when I g…

  • Michael Giacchino's score for M:I-3 is one of my favorite film scores of all time. I've listened to it all the way through literally hundreds of times. Definitely my favorite of the series, although they all are good in their own way.
  • The majority of the reviews for Indy 5 are saying that it's somewhat episodic, formulaic, globe-hopping, and jammed with perhaps one too many setpieces. Ironically, this is pretty much all I want. I have said this before but these are supposed to …

  • Amazing trailer. Although let's be honest...our butts were already going to be in the theater the minute that M:I Fallout ended.
