The two biggest questions I had going into Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny were: will it be fun and will the film stay true to the character of Indiana Jones. The answer, I'm pleased to say, is yes on both counts. It's a ton of fun. I had a blast.

Dial of Destiny is a solid Indiana Jones adventure that ultimately dodges the giant boulder of expectations. But as a franchise closer, it’s an anticlimactic affair that, while not a memorably rousing last crusade, at least bids Indy adieu in an emotionally satisfying fashion.

Does not disappoint....a truly archetypical Indiana Jones experience. A better job could not have been done in rounding out the beloved characters and series. The storyline did exactly that, gracefully, and with respect and dignity from start to finish, giving us everything we could want for Indy's last adventure. Harrison Ford is perfection as an older version of his iconic character, and I love that they did not shy away from but rather embraced his age with charm and humor. The appearances of Sallah and Marion nearly brought tears to my eyes, and the casting of the new characters was inspired. The special effects are as wonderful as always, in particular Indy's digitally-enhanced younger self. The cornucopia of sets and costumes are amazing in their authenticity, detail and diversity, and the score is, of course, everything we've come to expect and then some. The icing on the cake is the reenactment of the "where doesn't it hurt?" scene. It was emotional and heartwarming seeing the two characters come full circle from the very first film; I can't think of a more perfect way to wrap up Indy's adventures and to pay tribute and say goodbye to the characters we've come to love. Harrison Ford said he wouldn't miss Indy because he had "fullfilled his purpose." I agree with him on the latter but not so much the former. I will miss Indiana Jones very much. It was hard knowing I was watching the final adventure. I honestly didn't want to watch to the end because if I did it would all be over. But if Indy's story had to end, it couldn't have been done in a classier way.

A very satisfying end for the Indian Jones series and again a wild and entertaining ride. I salute Harrison Ford, my favourite actor of all times.

The fifth and final chapter for our whip-cracking archaeologist suffers from the absence of Steven Spielberg and a workable script, but Harrison Ford—80 and still working deep and true—makes sure that Indy goes out in blaze of glory. One word: Respect.

The Dial of Destiny starts with a prologue that easily stands up against the classic trilogy, is often disarmingly poignant and never less than entertaining. Much of this is down to Ford, who has always excelled at bringing depth and charm to a character who on paper is fundamentally little more than a silhouette.

Like in "Crystal Skull,” director James Mangold’s movie aims to merge Indy’s earthy supernatural framework with science fiction, to mixed results. The love-it-or-loathe-it ending is a real doozy.

That remembrance of Saturday matinees past is there for a bit in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Until it very much isn’t, and you’re largely left with what you imagine you’d get if you programmed a 21st century A.I. program to write up nostalgia-bait for the children of the late 20th century.

"Dial of Destiny” is, if anything, even more breathless and filled with stunts than “Raiders,” but everyone’s feats look like insipid fakery.

Wife and I went into this with low expectations given the low critic reviews, but still wanted to see in theater because I enjoy the series and Harrison Ford--and both of us are glad we went. This movie had good acting, action and fast pace from start to finish, and we both can only come to the conclusion that if you didn't like the movie, then you must not have liked any of the others in the series. My immediate reaction afterwards was "this might be my favorite in the whole series". Cheers

Bon esprit
On retrouve les codes de la série
Mais la fin gâche un peu le film et les trucages (Jones rajeunit en images de synthèse, les sauts sur le train, l'exagération moto et cheval pendant la fête...) on sent la patte Disney qui... dénature tout ce qu'il touche grrrrrrr Rester authentique

I enjoyed it and it was very watchable throughout, but I do feel like the ending could have been much better and there very minuses in it. Still a nice movie, but I can't rate it higher.

Despite flashes of classic Indy energy, the movie buckles under excessive CGI and a repetitive cycle of chase sequences that quickly wear thin. The story feels paper-thin, never giving the characters or stakes room to breathe. Mads Mikkelsen is the lone standout, elevating every scene he’s in, but even he can’t save this adventure from feeling hollow.

A somehow sad experience. It tries so hard to recreate the spirit of the old films. It just does not work. We are not in the 80s anymore. I was almost bored by the many action pieces. Another failed franchise reanimation.
