  • Gotta love the 70's

  • My take: Good, not great. But a solid entry. What I liked: - the two setpieces - the Venice scenes - the bombastic and loud score. Zimmer would be proud. Dislike: - the villain. Doesn't really have any truly standout moments and his dialou…

  • So - for those who have seen it - how does it compare to DOD, blockbusterwise? Which one do you prefer?

  • Love the new trailer
  • After second viewing: Is it just me, or did anyone else notice things from the trailers that weren't in the final film? This: (Spoiler) And of course this: (Spoiler)

  • Oh man.... Just when I thought I was getting too old for action movies (maybe because most action blockbusters nowadays defy gravity and are largely shot in front of a green screen), I suddenly feel all young again after having watched DOD. It remin…
  • thedove wrote: » will we ever get back to shorter run times? Avatar II (192 min) and John Wick 4 (169 min) disapproves of this message :-) Likewise, will we ever get back to a box office top 10, that isn't just sequels and remakes?
  • Creasy47 wrote: » 6. Mission: Impossible III To each his own. III is my personal favorite. Cruise in his prime, best villain of the series, many great action set-pieces and a lot at stake for Hunt. But I like them all, maybe except II and its…
  • New positive review (7/10). It "feels more like a James Bond sequel": https://www.blu-ray.com/Indiana-Jones-and-the-Dial-of-Destiny/574252/#Review

  • If 'Dial of Destiny' ends up with a lower score on RT than 'Fast X', which it looks like, I feel sorry for everyone involved!

  • Scaramanga1974 wrote: » Looks good. No character depth unlike Craigs Bond but should be fun. Which is a good thing. I don't need action heroes with family issues!
  • PDJamesBond wrote: » For example, the tank chase at the end of Last Crusade is very clearly the film's main setpiece. And in the last three Bond movies the main (biggest?) setpiece was in the PCS. Sadly.
