Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)

‘Dial of Destiny’ is an uninspiring ending to the Indiana Jones franchise. While better than 'Crystal Skull,' 'Dial of Destiny' is a convoluted conclusion to Indiana Jones' story but features a strong performance from Harrison Ford.

‘Dial of Destiny’ is an improvement from ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,’ but still not a great ending for Indiana Jones’ story. The screenplay is confusing and convoluted, while the pacing is slow at times. Director James Mangold does an efficient job but the “Indiana Jones” magic is still missing from this installment. Harrison Ford gives a strong and emotional performance, while Phoebe Waller-Bridge breathes some fresh air into the franchise, but ultimately the film feels like an epilogue rather than a definitive final chapter.
