The thing is the first 15 minutes imply Disney knew what they should do to please the entire fanbase. But then they veered away from the winning formula and did something different.

Disney is running out of IP to devalue.

Gary would break his monitor (again). I don't have to watch this shite so it doesn't affect me one bit.

You think a man standing at the end of a table full of men with guns can simply duck out of the way, dodge EVERY single bullet (as shown on the trailer) and escape unscathed?

If this is your nitpick, I’m sorry you’ve never enjoyed any Indiana Jones movie, ever.

One of MANY, but that's the one these idiots show in the trailer!

You haven’t even seen the fricking movie and you’re telling me, a person who saw it, that I’m wrong for enjoying it?

I’m sorry I didn’t hate the movie so you can feel justified for also hating something you never consumed.

It must be depressing and exhausting to be a Leftist or progressive in today's culture. Everytime your side produces dreck like this you're obligated to man the ramparts and defend it.



They're tribalist. They can't defend anything, they just parrot the talking points and ignore the voice of reason in their head.

Like the older white woman in Paris. Her city is literally being ransacked by 'immigrants' and she's begging the POLICE to not act out in violence, because that'd be (somehow) racist? Zero rational thought here.

Same thing here. These people will shill and defend this garbage no matter what. To their last breath.

Again you’re dishonest. You said it didn’t happen then when it was pointed out that it did you deflect and move the goalpost again. My opinion of the movie isn’t about anything like that but to say it didn’t happen at all is false. Just more proof of how dishonest and practiced your arguments are.

It is by no means this deep. Just because you’re obsessed with this shite doesn’t mean everyone is.

I saw a movie that I enjoyed. That’s about it.

I'm telling you it's a shite movie and why.

You refuse to grasp the plot holes and idiocy at making Indy the butt of jokes because doing so would make you the rube who paid for this trash.

I'd be embarrassed too if I had paid for and wasted my time. But thankfully that's not me.


Shiney object! Chase scene! Member berries!

It's always the same jerkoffs and their alts, too.

I was searching for a list of movies that had openings over 60 mil. but Google wouldn't give me a list of middling, shitty movies. Transformers 12 or whatever opened at 61, though.

Maybe one reason is shite like this going on during filming.
quote:

Wilson went into more detail regarding Mangold's script and the scene in question, "Well, I don't want to spoil too much, but my character had a particular way of exiting the film and initially I found it to be a little bit problematic and offensive," she intimated. " I was like we probably don't need to say these words or have it done this way, and this something I am uncomfortable with,"
I'd say poor Mangold, but he fricking deserves it.

You haven't seen the movie?



eta: Never mind, just read your post below this one. Accusing others of tribalism and "regurgitating talking points" when you haven't even seen the movie is fricking idiotic and fabulously ironic. You're either a decent troll and bored on a Sunday or a massive dipshit.

Not even a little. But I have watched every other Indiana Jones movie, from 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark even to Chystal Skull. Like many, I grew up watching these movies.

I won't be watching this one.

I don't think people are defending the movie as much as they're defending their right to have enjoyed it without having their worth as a person called into question.

You haven’t seen the film. Your entire opinion about it is what you’ve been told. And I’m the one being accused of tribalism and regurgitating talking points?

It was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday. How you weirdos have twisted this into some political statement just shows you’re poisoned with this shite.

I love how you have to invent stuff I never said as a means of coping because you can't respond to specifics.

No one is questioning anyone's 'right' to see any damn thing. Good grief. I'm just telling you this isn't a good movie, and why.

You don't like hearing contrarian views, even if you secretly know these things are true. You've made your mind up, and won't be swayed.

A movie you haven’t seen.

You’re telling us why someone else told you it isn’t a good movie.

And I never will. I don't need to. I know the story and it's garbage. I've seen the previous 3 Indiana Jones movies, plus Crystal Skull, and I know the character. I know the on-screen story.

This isn't Indiana Jones. Period.

Same reason I won't see Rings of Power on Amazon. I know Tolkien, this isn't anything he wrote. It's not worth my time.

I never saw Captain Marvel, ANY D+ Marvel show, Willow... again, I never will.

I ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S COME BEFORE, I DON'T NEED TO SEE THESE STORIES/ CHARACTERS RUINED TO FIT AN OBVIOUS AGENDA BY TALENTLESS HACKS.

So please, shove this 'you've not even seen it' crap because it means nothing.

Prove them wrong. Point to the parts they didn't get right. And be specific.


Thanks.

No, you’re quite literally telling us someone else’s opinion of a film you haven’t seen.

Sort of sounds like talking points.
