Can't say I agree with that take, I thought it was one of the better Indiana Jones movies, maybe even better than Temple Of Doom. It ticked all the boxes for me.
"Maybe even better than Temple of Doom"
They should put that on the posters.
Damned with faint praise, indeed.
Same here, I enjoyed the film. It portrayed Jones well as an aging person who is past their prime giving it one last shot. The action was good, the plot was enjoyable, the Nazis got a kicking. What's not to like?
Basically all the chase scenes were camera glued 10 cm from the protagonists and shaky cam for 15 minutes at a time.
Oh noooooo! I was just rewatching Raiders the other day and thinking about how good the camera work was, and how if they shot it today half of those fight scenes would be incomprehensible shaky cam. Sad to hear that Dial has fallen to the shaky side.
Same, I don't understant all the hate. It had all the ingredients to make a good Indiana Jones movie
