I don't understand people ripping other people for liking things. What does it have to do with you? So what if people like it? God forbid you form an independent opinion on something that goes against what the posters on TD think.
it has nothing to do with the movie.
their youtube critic told them it was gone be full blown wokeness and the movie would fail because of it.
when people say the movie is actually decent they take it as an attack against their critic and the agenda that they push/follow.
this movie couldve been a 10/10 and they would still try to nitpick it to point out it sucks because disney=woke.

you should be happy then haha its a box office failure so who cares if the movie is good or not? you won ur battle against disney.
i'd be fine with disney going bankrupt and getting bought out by apple, they will definitely go less woke then.

Yes, it is. You’re using an entirely separate metric in an attempt to make a point. Box office numbers measure how many people are going, not whether the people going liked the movie or not—which is what the other posts are debating. We already know a large number won’t go see it because of what they read on the internet.

Reality is that most of you have allowed the assholes in Hollywood to completely destroy your value of what is a good movie.
Make an atrocious film like Crystal Skull and anything after it would be seen as “good”.
What has happened is that it wasn’t as bad as many expected l, so now it is somehow “pretty good”. That is why they will continue to shove mediocre to bad shite to all of us because many have just accepted their garbage as okay.”
The ratings across the board are all bullshite (good and bad). There is no legitimacy in them because they are bought and paid for in most cases.

It’s a decent movie, man.
Despite every rumor coming out of Cannes being 100% accurate and a miserable, broken down Indy isn't what ANYONE wanted to see?
Good grief.

I enjoyed it. Doesn't hold a candle to the first 3, of course, but it's better than almost every other movie released this summer. Then again, I'm >50 yrs old, makes me feel good to see an old timer as a leading man. The last bit with Indy and Marion was a tear jerker.

You’re using an entirely separate metric
And again - loudly and clearly - no movie of this scope and marketing, based on an established property, could possibly bomb like this if it was an objectively good movie. You cannot get around that no matter how hard you shill out.

Old timer pulling for the older guys is fine, if it's Tom Cruise. Or Michael Keaton as Batman. But 80 yr old horse riding and wall climbing Harrison Ford crying about his aching knee and back?
Please. From the very first movie, 40 yrs ago, he was beaten and battered.
"It's not the age, it's the milage".
No one's buying that he's running around like a freaking action hero now. Want context? Sean Connery was about YOUR age (58) when The Last Crusade came out. He wasn't tumbling around & fighting Nazis mano a mano.
Sure, he may have been playing a man in his late 60's, early 70's, but that's STILL about a decade younger than Ford is currently.
DV all you want, KK fans. She's still not going to frick you.

you’re telling a guy he shouldn’t like a movie he saw because of the rumors you heard?

The rumors are true.
All of them.

hasn’t everyone who saw it said there is no “hat snatching” at the end? that was a pretty big rumor.

And Bud Light is a decent beer.
C'mon, the story is out now. It's a disaster of a script, makes no sense, and never needed to be made.
And PWB isn't selling anyone that she's 'the bestest evar!'. Her character had 1 job only - to neuter Indiana Jones and act as KK's personal insert as a FU to Spielberg.

I have no doubt they filmed that, but test audiences gave it a big thumbs down. That's about the only thing she DIDN'T do, after she one-punched Indy all the way back to 1969 New York.
And since then, KK has already stated that PWB 'might very well' continue on her own adventures. She wanted so badly to overwrite Indy continue on with a better FEMALE version.
Good luck with that one.

I thought it was quite enjoyable. The ending left a bit to be desired and overall it could’ve been 20 minutes shorter, but it was a fun movie.
If actually watching the film and having an opinion on it that isn’t negative makes me a simp, so be it.

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?
OK then, this movie is for you.

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.
