You misspelled Indy And Da Jones.

Indeed

The back to back chase scenes in the beginning was not a good choice. There were some fun parts but this movie wasn't very good

My main issue with the movie was the end felt a little too neat. Indy gets punched and suddenly it cuts to him at home and Marion is back. Felt way too abrupt.

Also felt like it was missing one more big setpiece. Did we ever see Indy use the whip outside of the auction room? I wish there was a little more of Indy doing Indy stuff.

Still really enjoyed it overall. It felt like an Indy movie to me whereas Crystal Skull at times did not.

frankly this looks awful on so many levels

AI to make 75 year old Harrison Ford look 40 again. because we need more computers changing around reality and make believe for fake social media

CGI in every single scene- Ford jumping out of a burning German Heinkel 110. okay- that's realistic.

Nazis in the USA being a huge problem in 1969 where the bad white guy insults a black waiter, because we need more race baiting movies.

If y'all keep running out to see bad reboots then Hollywood will keep making them.

I didn't realize the TexAgs entertainment board had that much power.

He used the whip during the fight atop the train.

We just got home from seeing this. I'm still digesting it (and a huge plate of enchiladas I had right after leaving the theater). First impressions - I enjoyed the hell out of it. And I will get this out of the way - I liked it better than The Temple of Doom as well as The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

What I really loved most was that we finally got WWII Indy. That entire sequence was awesome, from Indy in a hangman's noose through to the anti-aircraft gun making mincemeat of a bunch of Nazis, and finally to Indy telling the Nazi colonel "to the victors go the spoils" right before kicking him off the train. The music in this sequence was thunderous, sounding similar to portions of The Last Crusade but with a few queues of 1941 thrown in as well.

Really enjoyed seeing Indy in the classroom one last time, although I must confess to some flashbacks to that art history class I took my first semester at A&M.

The time setting of the Apollo moon landing was nice, but kinda like F-86 Sabres and mushroom clouds, that doesn't feel right for an Indiana Jones movie. But unlike Crystal Skull, they brought in Nazis to properly ground this one.

The explanation for Mutt Williams not being here was actually perfect. But there was some real emotion when Indy said he would stop Mutt from going to Vietnam, seeing how Mutt would die and it would have such a profound effect that Indy and Marion would split up. Harrison Ford is still a great actor, and conveyed very well what his character would be feeling during that conversation.

I must have missed something, but exactly why was there a heavily modified Heinkel He-111 bomber in full Nazi livery, including the death head emblem many of those aircraft sported, sitting in a hangar ready to go in 1969? And apparently with a Nazi flight crew and armed with machine guns?

Nitpick on the Heinkel. Helena would not have gotten aboard through the wheel well, as they were closed off from the airframe. Still, had to get her aboard somehow.

Was Antonio Banderas the owner of the boat in Greece?

Loved that, once they got through the fissure in time, they didn't go back to WWII. The explanation on that was great. I can't recall the name of the guy, wouldn't be able to spell it either, but it was fun to see Indy getting to witness actual history. But that really shouldn't have surprised me now that I think of it, since they found a wrist watch in the tomb and Helena commented about propellers on the relief on the outside of the tomb.

After seeing INDY 5 a second time (in IMAX) I enjoyed the movie a good bit more.

I enjoy the first 25 min's of the movie more than anything else

I still think the character of Helena Shaw is a good one just not cast well.

Harrison Ford is still a great actor.

Raiders
Last Crusade
Temple
Dial Of Destiny
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Although, after DoD comes out on streaming it may jump to 3rd place.

I had a lot of fun.

Took my oldest two earlier today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great summer film to sit back and just be entertained. It had amazing chases, explosions, Salah, and Nazis. Good flick.

Some you guys are crazy. This movie was awesome, much better than 2 & 4.

Yes there are a ton of chase scenes, yes it hits all the old notes and isn't terribly original.

But this was a fun Indiana Jones movie and so much better than I expected it to be.

I really enjoyed it. The acting was excellent and the plot felt like an old serial with double crosses, exotic locales, and good action. The underwater scene was really well done. Definitely not perfect. I have gripes. But, like others have said, it felt like an Indiana Jones movie while Crystal Skull most certainly did not.

… it's an Indiana Jones movie. Nazis are kind of a thing in Indiana Jones movies. I'm not sure why a Nazi being a Nazi would trigger you.

Not sure this guy has heard of project paperclip

Just got back - it was fun! Exceeded expectations. We just savored the fact this would be last time we'd be going to see a brand new Indiana Jones movie in the summer. Kind of nostalgic.
The early aging CGI was very good and not distracting- our daughter said they must have filmed it during an earlier movie because she couldn't tell.
Each chase scene was probably a couple minutes too long. And agree the lead girl wouldn't have been my choice. Tunnels, secret passage ways, bugs, skeletons, codes and maps all felt like classic Indy. The wrap up at the end was a nice send off.

How were the enchiladas?

That's because the Mads character and his followers though they were going back to 1939, where they would easily fit in with their plane and uniforms.

I get that. What I am saying is that any He-111 in 1969 would not have been armed to fly into a war (operable guns with ammo belts).

---

While in normal times, yes. You have to suspend reality to think that somehow they are working in the shadows and are equipping it in a hidden situation

My wife and I enjoyed it. Could it have been better? Of course.

The throwbacks were well done, especially the ending. My opinion is they are setting up a new franchise with Helena (Phoebe) as the lead with her sidekick Teddy (Ethann).

---

Agreed on suspending reality. And I will say that I didn't let that affect my opinion of the movie. This was the most fun I have had at the movies in some time.
