REVIEW:
Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny... will it be more like the awesomeness of Raiders or more like the comparative mediocrity of the Crystal Skull...
This is a race against time in this 2 hour 22 minute feature as Indiana Jones attempts to retrieve the dial of destiny, an artifact that can change the course of history.... Getting on in years and struggling to fit into a world that's outgrown him, Indi has garnered assistance from his goddaughter for this adventure.
There's plenty of stunts, including whip cracking, new characters, NASA is involved, as are the Nazis and it's got loads of familiarity to keep fans of the franchise feeling great.
But the question we are all asking is, did it live upto the hype? I'd say think of it as a homage to the Crystal Skull rather than an apology for it.
It's Indiana Jones. Of course, we will all watch it no matter what!
