So now I just did watch Dial of Destiny. And it certainly is better than Crystal Skull. In fact, objectively as a single movie I might even call it better than Temple or even Raiders. But as an Indiana Jones movie it's only 4th. If Crystal Skull (and Temple, for my taste) got too ridiculous, Dial is too serious for an Indy film. It's also packed full of action, without breathers for rhythm which Spielberg used so well. More an action film than an adventure. Another complaint is that the fan service went too far, movie shouldn't be this full of references and inside jokes. And I do feel that the two previous films gave the series more satisfying ending than this one. |
The Rhythm in Raiders is wordlclass, so much so that is the rhythm/pacing exemplar in college screenwriting. I hate it when they over-do the fan service inside jokes; it's so corny and outside the tone of a good film.
