Dial of Destiny has received a lot of negative press, at least among CZcams critics. Does this mean the movie is bad? Or is it merely the victim of a culture war?

It’s one of those things where people are tired of their heroes being made into depressing old men, and Phoebe Waller Bridge.
hollywood propaganda on how they want men to be, sad lonely and old
This
The sooner people stop making heros out of fictional movie characters and Hollywood actors the better off they'll be.
@@KrolKaz wow it’s almost like works of fiction have always existed and used the characters to portray heroism & acts of good deeds and perseverance as a way to inspire and motivate people, crazy idea I know.

I would say his based "I'm not a reactionary fuck" side. What a suprise, media can be enjoyed despite your reactionarytoober chud screaming for 4 hours about it being evil
Adult Short Round fighting Chinese communists sound badass ngl
Honestly best idea I've heard. 1960s China with old man Indie and older Short Round.
The Last Crusade was the best ending for the franchise.
Because it was just "they ride off into the sunset to have many more adventures."
That is true. It didn't need the following two. But i do still think this one is great.
Crystal Skull, well, i loved it at 15 years of age when it was in the cinema and i haven't watched it since. But it does have all the trappings 2005+ era of overexcited, less-would-have-been-more-cinema.
This one mostly consists of a prolongued car chase, but that's ok for me. Not the best Indi movie for sure. Not one we'd have needed. But also not one i would exclude from an Indiana Jones Marathon.
"Not So bad" wow what a great movie it must be then lmao
Wow bro, real constructive, I'm certain you've watched a ton of movies you deemed "not so bad" and that not being a bad thing. Cope, seethe and mald
@@MrBooonebro your reddit mod is showing
@MrBooone project much? lol
Truly a ringing endorsement...
@@MrBooone you again? there's no "gold" here, this won't end with you posting "thankyou kind stranger!".
Lol, you know the copium is strong when the best thing you can say about a film is "it wasn't that bad".
He also endorsed the Girl Boss character for not being a Mary Sue, I hope this entire review is satire!
Glad the dude doesn't suffer from audience capture
The deaging i'll give credit too, since that worked pretty well. But that must have been where all the budget went because the rest of the CGI made this look like the Brendan Fraser mummy films.
I don't understand this thing where people say "it's good that it has a definitive ending to the character," maybe because it's better than Crystal Skull. Okay, why do we need three definitive endings? It ended with Last Crusade already. Saying it's better than the second redundant ending (which a lot of people don't even agree with) is pointless.
I dont know in Indiana Jones 4, he got married, he got a son, he made a family, and now he is so broken and without son and divorced, this movie its worse than 4 because they broke Indy s character and his legacy completly.
Fuck Disney and Lucasfilm, they deserve bankrupcy
You see this piece of shit that retreads the themes of indie aging is slightly better than the last piece of shot that did that. So applause
That's my biggest problem with the movie. It's not bad, but The Last Crusade was the ending, these two after that just feel like a stretch even if they have good traits.
"Dial of Destiny is goo-ACK"
"It has a strong, independent wom-ACK!"
The ending is so scuffed, it would not be surprising that it was a quick re-shoot from the original rumor
John Williams confirmed it
Yeah it literally is. Indy literally died in the original cut.
They basically had to re-shoot the whole film after it bombed with test audiences. As many as 4 cuts were rumored to be pre-screened. How do you think they spent $300 million dollars on it? Lol
@USSMariner That rumor is definitely fake, it got multiple plot points wrong. It claimed Helena was Marcus Brody's granddaughter which is obviously wrong.
Didn't the director state that there wasn't any test screenings?
"This pile of vomit isn't a pile of shit so it's not that bad."
Film was good brother
Exactly! Just because it “wasn’t that bad” doesn’t mean it was good. We shouldn’t be praising or normalizing mediocrity.
i saw a comment in his video about Millenial Writing that perfectly sums this up, the comment quoted Billy Joel who once said "I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary." people are so completely starved of actual quality writing in things like movies and video games that the second something has even a smudge of effort put into it they praise it as some sort of masterpiece, when really its usually just ok. For example, look at "Everything, Everywhere, all at once". Now dont get me wrong, the movie is pretty solid and I had an decent time watching it, as did many other people, solid 6-7/10 movie, but HOLY FUCK did people overhype it to death, they made it seem like it was the sci-fi equivalent of the Godfather or something.
Most of this review (not all of it) comes off less as a “This movie is great” and more as “It’s not that bad. At least not as bad as the star wars sequel movies”
SW got violated and murdered. It was a deliberetd attack. It's not surprising it's "not as bad as SW sequels".
@@nicolascamargo4514it is a bit of a bar to reach
They only did one Indie movie. Star Wars got bulldozed flat into 50 different things and then was quartered and drawn by 50 horses.
He literally said that at the beginning

Is this video some sort of out-of-season April Fool's joke?
he sounded pretty genuine in the video
No, this is for the people who are not feeling as if they have no choice but to agree with a popular opinion on the Internet that is wrong.
@randallrutherford1384 hey, some people like the taste of shit.
You deflected about the reshoots and leaks debacle but failed to mention that this movie has been in production for like 6 years and has been set back for release multiple times... Because they did have negative feedback and did have to reshoot. They wouldn't have without the prior pushback from the leaks. Bro way to hand wave away a huge part of the film...
Very funny you makes this in 'Oh well it's just nerds getting upset over media made for kids lol!'... dude your whole channel is about Halo: A video game franchise that is mostly played by teens/kids... believe it or not those are the ones who have the time to invest in stuff like games.
It's also a contrived film with a very humorless secondary actress that is supposed to carry the torch. Many issues get resolved because 'Oh I remembered the important bits' or because of some other stupid coincidences from her. And there's a lot. You admit it wasn't a very funny film but there's too many times where things are delivered as a joke and they fall absolutely flat.
Your thesis is that this movie is actually good. But it's not. It has some good parts maybe.. but it's filled with terrible humor and plot issues. Just admit you're a fan and that it. You don't care about any actual fucking 'good' or 'bad' things nor what makes said films either option just your first watch through opinion of the film.
Unconvincing and contradictory evidence bucko. Video: 4/10 not a huge cope but still an effort was made. You try to hedge some bets with some weasely words 'its a good movie with some flaws'... Ok how many and how important are they? If the main character beats the bad guy with a weapon that he pulled out of his ass in a serious movie where he never had the weapon nor was there one mentioned the whole time - then that's a pretty huge flaw and ruins an otherwise good movie. It becomes mediocre or even bad depending on how big of an ass pull it was. Please think more about this.
To be fair, delays might imply reshoots, but it doesn't necessarily prove the existence of reshoots. Without further information, there could've been any reason for the delays. For all we know, they could've been stuck in pre-production for much of that time, I guess it just depends on how much faith you'd want to put into these leaks. Like he said near the end of the video, he thinks that the drama of Indy being shot might imply a change in the making of the film, and I myself would say that the resolution where Helena drags Indy back to the present makes me suspect that there was a rewrite. Even still, I don't think any of this is per se nota, we're still in the realm of guesswork.
@@TharcThuncBa but if you know how Disney does films and how they started making them recently you'd know they do what's called 'scrap booking' which is essentially like making 5 different movies to stitch scenes together from anyone of them according to audience approval. I bet that maybe if not reshoots heavy scrap booking was involved in this project
Well, at least your video game takes are based. Speaking of which you haven't had a based take since your iron sights video. What gives?
Do you reckon he can keep his Based card for now?
@@nicolascamargo4514as I just edited into my comment. He hasn't made a based take since his iron sights video. He spends more time live making commentary podcasts with his friends. I come here for game reviews and commentary on why video game suck now. I never thought about a based card in general
@@Gator159 fair enough
@@Gator159
To be fair, "based" just means sticking to your own opinions and being true to who you are, despite what the greater public would think. I don't agree with a single thing he said here, but it is rather "based" to have such an unpopular opinion. With that said though, I still downvoted the video, cause I just think he's letting his fanboyism blind him to an objectively bad movie. It'd be like defending The Rise of Skywalker because you've seen the original trilogy 18 times.
@@MarvinPowell1 looking back he has had good videos after the iron sights thing. Like millennial writing video and the downfall of Halo. I found the Halo killer video to be boring (maybe that was the point lol)
But yeah, my mistake I just am distracted because how much I don't care for his skills as a level modding person like when he made the Doom layout in Halo. I said it looks like shit and his fanboys come in to defend it so then I get tempted to unsubscribe because fanboys who love a CZcamsr makes that CZcamsr look worse off like they don't need me anymore
I've heard here and there that the movie isn't as bad as what some people have said, but Disney/Lucasfilm hasn't exactly been endearing itself to the public for the past several years. Also, one of the major questions I've heard people bring up about the film is, who was it made for? I think its failure at the box office isn't so much a case of people being actively against the studio, so much as simply indifferent towards the characters and premise. How many young people did they think were going to want to see an 81-year-old man hobbling around in front of a green screen for three hours? The film's budget clearly depended on more than just old-school fans going to see it, and therefore it was doomed from the very start.
Well, considering America "elected" and has been fine with an 80 year old man hobbling around the white house while he's supposed to be representing the country, I think people will be fine with an 81 year old hobbling around a green screen for a movie...
As sad as it I feel like less than half of the people in my generation either like or honestly even know a lot about Indiana Jones, which is fucking bad given that I'm a zoomer. Indiana Jones just isn't really culturally relevant anymore, at least not in a way that warrants the inflated budget the movie had.

Bro, touch grass, the old movies still exist, sad characters CAN exist
@@MrBooone lmao exactly
Honestly my only real problem with the ending is that Helena knocks him out when in other movies she would have had to convince him or have him come to his own realization
To play devils advocate he is like geriatric so its not as bad as if she ko'd young indy lol
@@Ares_gaming_117 it's almost like female characters that understand their physical limitations and rely on things like intelligence and hard work would be awesome for women to see, as opposed to 50kg women simply replacing men. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series broke my suspension of disbelief. A 5'2, 47kg woman beating the shit out of 3 bikers (who are assumed to be brutes who've killed men with their bare hands) just made me cringe and zone out... and that was BEFORE the modern Captain Marvel 🙄
@@alyssarichardson2544 Oh yeah, i couldnt agree more. Havent seen girl with dragon tattoo but yeah these modern movies where these tiny girls are easily bashing multiple huge trained men, taking their hands and flipping them around like they are rag dolls are totally rediculous lol. And yeah it takes you out of the movie because we all know how those fights would go. But yeah its also sad that women dont get to see more realistic and intelligently portrayed female characters and role models. Ones that use intellect, cunning, manipulation or stealth to compensate for physical disadvantages. Why show a competent but realistic female heroine stealthing around and dealing with threats in very creative ways when she can just easliy bash thru multiple guys 2x-3x her size without breaking a sweat? Its lazy, uninspired and, essentially, its misleading propaganda.
THATS the real problem?
Indy is not in control in the finale…. like Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’s not anything new.
The movie WAS bad. Trying to get some newbie to take over the Indie mantle will never work. I rather watch Crystal Skull than Dial of Destiny.
There’s a ton of criticism about the actual movie, how does the bad guy teleport from place to place when the movie needs them to be there lol
If you watch it again, there are many very obvious explanations. For example, there’s a speed of attached to Renaldo’s fishing boat, which is what Voller and his crew use to get to Sicily
@@astropictures4396 no I mean literally the bad guy just turns up & is in the exact right place at the right time every time, just because the plot needs to move forward, it’s ridiculous and sloppy.
@@Thedinosaurman923 in every poorly written movie perhaps, maybe you should watch better movies that aren’t just plot convenience after plot convenience.
If they replaced Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character with Ke Huy Quan as an older Short Round, I would have liked the movie way more. People like Short Round. Nobody likes Helena Shaw.
Waaaaaaah waaaaaaah women takes the lead
I liked her.
@@MrBooone A wild Male Feminist appeared! Ever thought women want to see women using their femininity - intelligence, charm, seduction (you know, the "powers" we actually have?) and that we find depicting women as men as patronizing at best? It's outright insulting, yet here you are, the classic male feminist cheering on the "strong-woman" despite women actually despising that nonsense... Femininity isn't depicted as strength, it depicts women simply being men that suck at pull-ups or absolute Mary Sues.
@@MrBooone for real, don't be a male feminist. *It's not going to get you laid, it's just creepy...*

Why were you pretending?
Blud is the pretender
Contrarianism and clickbait.

How many times was "Anti Disney Sentiment" printed in your contract before the sponsorship?
I can't agree that the bomb noose and the ark are simmilar
Throughout the movie the ark is hyped up and there are warnings about tampering with the supernatural, powers you don't understand, the villains even mock it as superstition and then get their comeuppance while indy and Marion are spared because they believe it and close their eyes, it's not a deus ex it's a payoff
The bomb is pure dumb luck, from it not exploding on impact to indy somehow surviving the explosion or being flung around with a noose on his neck like a ragdoll
I'm still under the idea that, if no body on-screen, he ain't dead.
The movie is trying to not be "woke" but it seems someone at disney (cough cough Cathleen) wanted to disneyfy the movie. You can see her magical let's kill off people's favorite and replace them with Phoebe touch all over the movie.
Whose favourite did the movie kill off?
@hakimehamdouchi7468
I'd say shitting on the main character for a strong, independent female character, is the epitome of woke. I know ShreddedNerd doesn't agree that Indy is disrespected throughout the movie or that PWB isn't a girlboss "modern female" character, but I and many other people, would have to disagree.
I'd just ask people one question regarding this movie: "Could you see this getting made exactly the same way it is, back in 2003?" It REEKS of "made to appeal to modern audiences" crap. Did we all watch the same movie here?
@@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation he got off easy this time yes. But sometimes death is better than a lot of other things.
@@MarvinPowell1 yeah but It's better than what it could have been. At the very least there's some semblance of a character arc with PWB and send off to one og character.
@@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation there is such thing as character assassination, which is what they did to Indy a thousand times over
The only thing I didn’t like about the movie is that they killed Mutt. It just makes it depressing when the hero has no offspring to pass the torch to. Not that Mutt should be the next Indy but it could have been implied that he grew up to be like his dad.
"Star Wars will never be deep"
Oh boy, even pre-2010s era of Star Wars medias would prove you wrong, especially in video games and some better bits of Extended Universe departments (take it there's some dogturds yet it have a lot of cool stuffs for Star Wars lore)
This.
Star Wars explored a lot deep philosophical issues, just not in the movies.
I will always remember one of my favorite quotes from the books, when Han Solo's son (the real one, not the Adam Driver knockoff) is in a situation where he doesn't know what to do because his Jedi teachings don't apply to a moral grey area:
“When you always know what is right, where is freedom? No one chooses the wrong, Jacen Solo. Uncertainty sets you free."
Maybe he meant itll never be subversive like rian johnson tried making it
Nobody gives a shit about the EU other than gay nerds
@@Ares_gaming_117No, the most subversive thing in Star Wars being of The Ancients (which one of their members eventually become Abeloth) and Kreia tried to detach as much as humanity and sentient beings in her Galaxy from the grip of The Force's influences itself
Rian Johnson only flawed pale imitation of subversion of Star Wars only on superficial level without in depth understanding of its Cosmology, Chronology, History, Anthropology and ultimate metaphysics of Star Wars
The older "Legends"/Extended Universe lore tries to explore these aspects of Star Wars in various media yeaaars before Disney acquisition and views it from multiple perspectives in somber, darker and not holding up with the fantastical aspects, while mercilessly grounded if both violence and philosophy being questioned akin to Clone Wars to KOTOR2 (back then Star Wars lore has things going up to toe to toe with current entanglingnmessfest of Warhammer 40k lore, which have their own problems with consistency yet the authenticity somehow are more preserved than whatever the hell Disney's Star Wars does in the past 7-8 years to this day)
So basically it's not that it's a bad film, merely a somewhat mediocre one that has few if any real redeeming qualities.
A significant portion of this review highits something important: a lot of your "praise" for it essentially boils down to "here's how the movie could have been way worse, but thankfully they didn't do that" which is pretty telling. I'm not suggesting that's wrong to point out but it does speak volumes of how little in the film is actually noteworthy and worth praising, and instead it's pretty much just "not as bad as it could have been."
Yes, it could have been worse. Thankfully it wasn't a terrible film that forever tarnished the legacy of Jones as a capstone to the series, as yet another property that Disney ruined. But it also could have been a lot better. At this point if Disney didn't make it an absolute knockout that would genuinely surprise people with real quality that they honestly liked, then people were always going to hate it. Audiences are done giving Disney any money for anything less than a stellar product. People and reviews have gotten sick of it all, and a movie that's "just okay" is not going to win them back.
The point of the video isn't really to sell the movie as much as it is to argue much of criticism making rounds is in bad faith.
@@TrappedInFloorAnd the video is inherently wrong for doing that
Mediocrity should not be normalized 🤦♂️
Is this the moment when ShreddedNerd becomes The Joker, or when he kills Critical Drinker in rage and resentment in the future? You decide!
I actually thought this was an ironic video. But no, you're actually being serious here. No; the film ITSELF is dogshit. It's poorly written, has a crap story, and treats Indy horribly. It's bad completely independent of the Kathleen Kennedy hate.
Many people who really like a certain book/movie etc are unable to consider its downfall. I have a Tolkien fan friend who is unable to see anything Tolkien related as bad, including Rings of Power and the recent Magick tcg thing.

Looking at the top comments here... I appreciate how fairly you approached this. I've often seen people "go the extra mile" with their takes when I would've otherwise agreed with them, as if they needed to prove how based they are. You did not. Honesty is sufficient.
Some feel compelled to voice their opinion on every new piece of garbage media, opinions which although not incorrect aren't necessary; it's much better to avoid thinking about trash altogether. Such complaining is endemic to Twitter, and makes it easy to figure who uses Twitter based on what is brought up in conversation.
I won't watch the movie either way, as I have no need for it. But this video was good; this cool-headedness is rare nowadays.
Have a good one. Zellig is coal, I hope Amsterdam sinks under the sea and gets gumped by Atlantians.

There are definitely people who went in trying to hate it because it's woke, but on the other hand there are a lot of people who went in trying to prove those people wrong and be contrarian. Even if you're annoyed at the culture war stuff, if you went in with the objective of figuring out how it's not culture war related, you're also biased. There are certainly people in the middle like myself who were cautious and just decided not to see it because it didn't sound good, and the culture war videos were just a means to figuring that out. Getting past old depressed Indy and Phoebe, it sounded like all the action setpieces, which are what you watch these movies for, were simple repetitive vehicle chases. "Well, what do you expect? He's old!" Okay then, don't make the movie!
The movie bombed. If it were actually good, it could have generated good word of mouth and become really big, but it didn't. Anti-woke people or not.

With Indiana Jones, I think the potential could be there if Harrison Ford were a little younger and the movie were more ambitious. The originals being from the 80s clearly doesn't matter. It's not a big stretch to say that people who like Ghostbusters, Top Gun, or pieces of new Star Wars would also show up for Indiana Jones if their coworkers or friends or family told them it was good.
@@TheMinskyTerroristit's definitely a stretch to think just word of mouth can save every good movie. There are many important factors related to the success or failure of a movie, not just quality. The video above actually talks about some of them, you should watch it.
Havent seen the movie yet but i think id already prefer shia over shaw. No, I dont have any good reasons other than im mysoginistic.
Its good to ignore negative reviews and just go to a movie with a open mind. It was actually really good. I loved it! Too many people are politicizing it too much, and read into every detail too much. Its just a movie. Its a damn shame since it was a good film. For real! Just give it a chance and don't get stuck in other peoples negative reviews. It was a fun film the entire time. Worth seeing in theaters and I am looking forward to try to see it again on the big screen before it leaves. I liked it better then Crystal Skull. Although the goddaughter character wasn't like-able at first she grew on me near the end.
@@SaraNorman-lv6cu yeah i was being a bit facetious lol. I actually wouldnt be opposed to seeing it. And im sure it can be enjoyable. I just dont know if im invested in indy enough as a series to have the will to go see it, esp if i cant get others to see it with. And considering the other movies out id rather see first like mission impossible & barbenheimer. But I might give it a shot then, thanks
@@Ares_gaming_117 LOL yeah I get it. Different strokes for different folks.
11:38 shots fired at Critical Drinker? Why, because his review was spot on? C'mon hoss, the movie was garbage
WOAW I award you no updoots for not following the party line.
Havent seen the film so I cant give a full take, but I will say the Ark in the first Indiana Jones film was built up over the course of the movie as something that could be potentially dangerous.
Ex: near the middle of the film when they’re in Egypt, one character says that the Ark was something that “mankind was not meant to disturb”
True that xister 😍😍😍
It was a critical and commercial failure for many reasons. Even Crystal Skull was better imo.
Just admit you hate women, nothing is worse than Crystal Skull
I know Halo is dead, but this is a really bad way to branch out for a channel.
No idea when i subscribed but i regret that now. Byyyeeee
“Did I mention she has a short round?”
I didn't watch Crystal Skull or this one and basically consider the franchise done after the trilogy, so I can't say I have any dog in the fight. I do respect the dedication to making a 29 minute video essay and taking a devil's advocate position on reviewing the film though, so I hope the dislike ratio and comments don't get to you too much.
I did not like this movie, and this series needed to end with Indy riding into the sunset.
I don't think the people who made this or crystal skull understood Indiana Jones.
The people who made crystal skull created the character, so…
The only video of yours I don't like,I even disliked it.
Same it's a damn shame he's blind to everything.
you make a good point. Your controversial opinions are always the most interesting.
I know this isn't related to the main topic of the video but "Star Wars shouldn't be deep" is such a bad take. Look at Revenge of the Sith, Clone Wars, Rebels, and of course ANDOR
But of course you probably haven't seen most of those so....
how do they get back to the 60's?
I appreciate the attempt at breaking the mold. I think the review could have used some more organization. Much of it feels like a response video to no one in particular. I've seen several critical breakdowns of this movie that cover the issues with its writing in great detail, so I've feel like I've got a good point of reference after seeing both sides. To describe the experience, it's like reading a few reviews of a table that go over how its legs are uneven, its surface gives people splinters, and it collapses under more than 10 pounds of weight. Then you read this review that says, "I've seen people saying this table has fewer than four legs. It's just not true. The legs might be uneven, but there are four of them." The number of legs on the table isn't what convinced me it's a bad table, and the review even partly agrees with the reviews that convinced me. It makes it difficult to be convinced in the other direction.
I also find it unconvincing that people who review the film poorly were simply hoping for it to be bad. Bulverism aside, the example CZcams title in this video stating this movie was destined to flop was from The Critical Drinker, who has reversed his perspective several times after watching a movie or show despite expecting it to be bad or underwhelming. It happened with Prey, Arcane, Andor, Picard season 3, and House of the Dragon, to give the most recent examples. This is also true for many in Drinker's circle, which is why I find it hard to believe.
I don't take issue with the claim that the movie is good, and I'm sure you're responding to arguments you've actually heard. The main issue I see is that the arguments you are attacking are weak, which make your counterarguments feel weak. The most convincing "actually this movie is good' videos I've seen are the ones that tackle the strongest arguments.
critical drinker is anything else, but a reviewer he is not.
You went from making a banger video about terrible writing to this garbage video defending an objectively terrible film. The pacing, the editing, the plot contrivance, the bad cgi (lol young indy with old indy voice), the nostalgia bait, that ending... It's all terrible.
Jeez. Ill just pretend like this video doesnt exist lol

Dial of Destiny is bad because I don't like Disney. No, I have not seen it, and no I'm never going to.
I've seen it and didn't like it. Now what?
@PickledKong64 even if you did like it, you'd never admit it which makes any of your statements worthless, lol
@phil7144 the movie was boring, had poor writing and unlike able characters.

this really constitutes a good argument in your mind, you muppet?
You don't have to hate it, but bruhhhhhhhhh
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Biggest issue with this movie and Crystal Skull is that they "ignore" tv series in which Indiana Jones has a daughter, grandchildren and Greatgrandchildren.
Tv series is about earliest days of Indiana Jones and Indiana tells that to his granddaughter.
I just will never care about any of these mainstream, franchise-milking, superfluous movies. Seeing 3 of Disney's movies in the last 15 years (Iron Man 1, Guardians 1, and the first Disney Star Wars movie, plus RLM reviews for most of everything else) was plenty to get the gist of all of them. They're soulless, cynically-made, politically correct, mainstream-approved products made for the sole purpose to make money and to be propaganda. If you want genuine and creative movies, most movies from 1950 to 2005ish are infinitely better.
Disney bought Marvel on Dec 31, 2009. Iron Man was made (and released) before the Disney deal with Marvel comics/Marvel studios and is actually a Paramount Movie, not a Disney Movie. On top of that, most movies are made with mainstream appeal in mind. The majority of movies are usually made to appeal to a largest amount of people (even in niche films). And test screenings have been a thing since 1928. And even movies like First Blood, and Bram Stoker's Dracula were changed due to test screenings.
You know, I have the same feeling like you do here in your video. With The Matrix Resurrections. People unloaded so much shit on it, that I was thinking it is the same trash as the third Star Wars Trilogy is(of which I only seen Episode 7) and I was pleasant surprised how good Matrix 4 actually is. Considered the fact that the storyline of the Matrix Trilogy is finished, there is nothing you could add to it, save the fact that the fate of Neo and Trinity was left open in part three. The Matrix Resurrections makes it look like the whole Matrix Trilogy is made up, a story in a Video Game of all things. Seeing it's ending I felt like they might have been put into the matrix in order for the physical damage both sustained at the end of Matrix 3 being healed, and while in there their minds experience another adventure, which was fine for he most part. The movie was not a "waste of time" to watch, though it didn't have had much to do with the original Trilogy.

i fell asleep in those hoyts recliner chairs while watching this movie cant say much about this movie but uh yeah chairs were comfy
The movie is completely Era accurate in depicting Phoebe Bridges character as some pretty lady who steals the attention of a whole room of men. 60's beauty standards where insanely 4/10. She'd cook in that Era, as a femme Fatale
they liked twigs so they could pretend she was a twink lol
Yeah, no. 60s era beats many eras afterwards.

Good review. I am more interested in seeing it now. I don’t agree on some things though, specifically indiana jones being represented as old and washed up, and that being ok because it’s representative of the current generation attitude twords the character. Angry joejak isn’t the best example for a disney hater also, because he’ll shill literal trash if it gave him goosebumps.
