An elderly Harrison Ford tries to relive his youth by joining a young woman on an adventure to find a time travel device. We have been dreading seeing this movie but were we wrong? Is it actually great? Watch and find out!

Also, the Mutt in Vietnam jokes were hysterical Tony & Johanna! 🤣🤣🤣
How was that funny?
What saved Hitler from the bomb in Project Valkyrie was someone moving it a couple of feet away from where it originally was placed. Also the bomb was under a big heavy wooden table so the table took the brunt of the blast.
If I remember right, the concrete bunker would have like amplified the blast. Idk I need to rewatch that movie.
I like to think Mutt was hanging around with Elias and Barnes . Then him and Richard Pryor get captured and become POW’s
It would've been fun if, instead of the paramount logo turning into a mountain, we would've gotten the disney castle turning into the nazi castle. Not sure why Disney didn't do that...
Tony is so Famous his personal call to Vito is a spoiler
Spoiler: Vito called me while I shot this.
@@HackTheMovies Keep this bit going, it will make you even more famous!
@@Jay828__ More famous than Crystal?
Only time will tell.
While it would have been too late to do this now, here's an idea. They should have combined the search for a holy relic with one of the last great conquests of the heroic age of exploration. In other words, if the final Indiana Jones movie had taken place in the 50s, they could have had him retrieving or finally hiding a relic on Mount Everest before passing away. The Asylum knockoff could have set it on the moon. Also we need Mutt 'n Nam.
Brendan Frasier's Journey to the Centre of the earth should have been an Indy Movie if they did it in the 90s they could have even used the dinosaurs from the Lost World.
@@mesicek7agreed
Need more Space Cat...she's magnificent!
Space Cat is so floofy and cute!!
Space Cat is S-Tier panelist.
It worked best in Tron Legacy where the "young version" was a computer program so it looking computery worked.
It would have worked perfectly if they didn't show the young version of Flynn in the real world at the start.
General consensus that I've gotten so far is that it's "okay." The fact that Shia is just dead is kind of amusing tho.
I'm just hoping it's at least better than crystal skull.
Best part I've heard
I found Dial of Destiny to be "fine and fun," and also unnecessary. But Harrison Ford's love for the character does come through in a few scenes.
When I saw the movie in a packed theater it was so silent even the crickets shut up. Not one laugh, not one audible comment. Not even cell phones being turned on. Everyone was as bored and zoned out as I was from this utter piece of garbage of a film.
At least John Williams never disappoints with his score
He's one of the greatest composers of all time for a reason lol
mini-episode with space cats hisses and meows edited in as commentary
Tonys channel be thriving,
Whilst james channel be dying
The difference between the CGI Chase Scenes in Indiana Jones & the practical Chase Scenes in Mission Impossible are night and day. More studios should be doing these things practical.
No hack the movies on Threads?
I don't even like regular twitter. Why would I join a twitter run by facebook?
@@HackTheMovies To spite Elon. C"mon! You're so famous now you can make a difference.
@@Alfador42Oh, so you’re one of those people. 🙄
The de-aging shit has to stop. It never looks good. And when you put deceased people up there it’s several steps past distasteful and disrespectful. These actors are dead, Disney. You don’t have the right to put a uncanny valley peter Cushing on screen. At least you shouldn’t. I’m practically to the point of not watching anything past 1987, that’s how sick I am of cgi. Movies suck now.
The only time I'm okay with it is if the actor died while filming a movie and they need a stand in to finish it.
I did not know the new spider-verse was two parts until I started wondering how they were going to wrap it up due to length
I thought it was gonna three parts
I can't believe anyone found this enjoyable. Are modern-day expectations just THAT low?
We don't have inherited knowledge anymore so people don't seem to know what quality is and accept the worst of everything. Or I'm just getting old 😅
People have been raised on social media. Do you expect them to be smart as a result?
As James Cameron said in that South Park episode about the bar being lowered, "How do you explain all the fat people on mobility scooters?! How do you explain... Honey Boo Boo?"
Yes. Modern day expectations are really that low.
The Sonic movies made bank actually doing Sonic stuff....yes the bar is that low.
The ending could have been better. Indy could have used the Dial to go back and see his son Mutt, before he went to Vietnam to fight for his
country.
Before leaving, Indy gives his son a hug and tells Mutt that he loves him very much, knowing that Mutt will die as a hero, helping evacuate a Vitnamese village from the VC.
🥲
He’s not really dead unless we see a gravesite bc alot of soldiers went mis in vietnam. It’s entirely possible that he went awol and went on Indy type adventures. In fact, he could become the new Indy that way if Disney wants to revive the franchise.
@@tigertank06 even if they do revive the franchise I doubt Shia will come back.
That character sucked and they know it. Better to leave him dead.
The dial wasn't truly capable of traveling anywhere in time other than that specific fixed point (the battle of Syracuse).
Mutt was one of John Rambo's fellow soldiers that was killed by the shoe shine boy's bomb.
So does that mean in the big speech about being covered with pieces of his friend, that friend was Shia LaBeouf?
The thing that gets me is that Helena would have been a villain in the other Indiana Jones movies. I mean, how many times did Indy say “that belongs in a museum” in The Last Crusade? Yet here comes Helena, trying to steal Indy’s half of the Dial so she can sell it and make a quick buck. They really tried to replace Indy with a character that doesn’t have his charisma or morals, and is basically his polar opposite…
In the temple of doom, he's willing to sell the remains of an emporer in exchange for some diamonds.
@@HackTheMovies Well, he was hired by Lao Che specifically to find those remains. Sure, that isn’t exactly noble of him, but we also don’t know if those diamonds had some historical value themselves or were just regular diamonds. Either way, he was fulfilling a deal he made with Lao Che prior to the start of Temple Of Doom.
But yeah, it is a bit of a plothole to show Indy trading the remains of an emperor to a crime boss, then in the next movie say that he had been adamant about preserving historical artifacts since he was a teenager.
@HackTheMovies That's true, but by the end of the movie he brings the Sankara Stone back to the village, signifying a change of heart. It's also worth pointing out that TOD is actually the first movie chronologically.
Kathleen Kennedy should be brought up on charges for what she's done to Lucasfilm.
I doubt they'll fire her though.
I hope she stays there until Lucasfilm completely burns to the ground
@Strugen. It's ashes now not much left to burn... haha
@@kdusel1991i googled her name, and see an article saying she has been fired

Space cat t shirt with a hack the movies logo please
I remember when they just announced Indiana Jones 5 saying that THERE WAS NO NEED FOR A 5TH INDY MOVIE! After watching this out of morbid curiosity, I'm glad to say that I right in the first place. Worst Indiana Jones movie. Least I can consider the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull a guilty pleasure & more enjoyable than this movie.
The bad guy was not trying to recruit the waiter; he was putting him down.
Short Round shot Mutt in Vietnam
First off, Tony looks like the sleazy boss from Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.
Second, to answer Tony's question from another review as to why people all of a sudden hate Katleen Kennedy even though she was involved with classic films like OG Star Wars, Spielberg stated that Katleen was nothing more than a assistant and not a very good one. Katleen would even interrupt conversations between Spielberg and Lucas by inputting stupid ideas like if the protagonist gets the dog instead of the girl.
Fluffy cat gets insta like
The Dial of Destiny was just as bad (if not worse) than Ghostbusters Afterlife.
Most of it was painfully slow, it recycled things from previous movies, and there was too much of a dependency on nostalgia to try to hold your interest.
It's a sad ending to a once fantastic franchise.
Life must be difficult to you.
People act like movies are life and death.
indys son as the gunner in full metal jacket screaming GET SOOOOOOOOOOOOME! GET SOOOOOOOOOOOOME!
4:42 “not that bad”?!? He must get his crack at a good price. It should be tried for crimes against humanity. Even Shia had enough sense to not star in it. Let that sink in.
Snowflake
But as they detailed, Shia seems to be getting killed off screen in all Spielberg adjacent properties because of that interview
Gotta disagree with you on the brief James Bond comment at the beginning. Frankly, I found Bond’s reasoning perfectly logical; if I managed to hook up with Lea Seydoux once, and then knew I would never be able to hook up with her again, I also wouldn’t want to live anymore lol.
…but srsly, that last stairway scene where Bond is fucking mowing dudes down was sick af.
i’ll give my money tonight to the Caviezel movie
i saw the Dial of Destiny movie a week ago and I liked it. But the end of the ended at an odd cliffhanger where you dont know if Helena time traveled to help clear Indy's name or not
Agreed.
It stinks of last minute rewrite.
I'm going to watch this, and then watch Young Indiana Jones Chapter 18 Treasure of the Peacock's Eye on vhs and know that no matter how bad it might be. It will almost certainly be better than Chapter 27 The Dial of Destiny.
Only one I ever saw was The Phantom Train of Doom.
Cancel the cancel people.
I'm here for it. The anti-snowflakes have become the snowflakes.
If I have to describe Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in one word then it would be: *lifeless*
That dudes roofie kit was prob in that school bag
I don't care what people say, I loved this movie, though I was disappointed Short Round didn't show up, he could've at least made a cameo
Your taste is awful.
With the new haunted mansion coming out you should do a review of the old haunted mansion. And compare the 2
Well... let's hope James Mangold will make a great Swamp Thing. Also with 26:12 look at John Wick 3 or 4 where Keanu Reeves actually rode the horse
I'm intrigued by his dawn of the jedi star wars movie he's working on.
Hay Tony your looking good in this one. And glad to see space cat.
I went to this with my dad because he wanted to go (he paid). It was better than expected but it was too long and had a lot of boring parts.
I'm hoping it's at least better than crystal skull. But i don't think that this should've been made. It would've been far better if they just continued the storyline of Indy with a younger actor, like Chris Pratt or the guy from Solo and Cocaine Bear. Harrison Ford is too old.
It’s way worse. It makes CS look downright competent.
@@NinjaRunningWild I really like James Mangold's work. And I'm intrigued by his dawn of the jedi star wars movie that he's working on.
@@kdusel1991That’s fine but this is a disaster.
Honestly didn't hate it... It wasn't that great but it wasn't bad. Crystal Skull was way worse imo.
7:50 You'd actually need to get Crystal to watch and understand a movie for her to do a wrap up.
This is Tony’s best intro to a movie review I’ve ever heard. Ambulance and all!
It is not even remotely close to being the worst one.
Edit: Koepp is pronounced as Kepp (just pretend the “o” doesn’t exist).
I agree i actually didn't mind it and didn't really see what most people were complaining about. What do ya want Harrison is 80. 🤷♂️
@@conkerchimera Exactly! Therefore, the movie shouldn't have been made.
@@trekadam30 He wanted to do it and that's rare for him haha. Besides I had no problem with him as a character in it. I liked the "he's the puzzle solver rather than the muscle this time around" for me its Raiders, Crusade, Temple of doom, dial, crystal skull
idk if i will even see this movie
You should.
You’re missing nothing by not & saving your time, money, & faith in humanity by avoiding it.
12:20 The spear did not kill Jesus. John 19:33-34
Indiana Jones can still exist. Just not as the main protagonist. As a professor, they should have and still might be able, to let him play that role. My idea for a fun IJ movie going forward. His teaching students inspires a non-related person to go on crazy adventures. Meanwhile to OG Indiana Jones, keeps going to him and his reply is, yep been there and done that. 1st act, new character being inspired, 2nd act huge failure, then seeks advise from IJ, 3rd act success. Lay in all the normal tropes we expect out of an IJ movie. There ya go. The IP continues in a way that doesn't demand Harrison Ford to be the main focus.
Please review' Serial Mom'. Thank you
Dial of Destiny is waaaay better than Crystal Skull and Last Crusade (which weren´t also "not bad")
The cat needs its own channel 😂😂😂😂
I personally liked the movie more than Crystal skull…I was entertained
Lay off the crack.
That cat was incredible.
Love the whole shared universe you guys got going here lol.
Indiana Woke and the Diahorea of disenchantment is the disastrous box office of doom
Was a good movie and your opinion is 🗑 lol
@@ryandilts9654 Watch some real movies.
18:45: It's bad enough real life is depressing enough. Apparently Hollywood wants to keep reminding us of that in our favorite movies lol
The fifth movie has no rewatchability for me. It has no depth and everything can be gleaned from one viewing. It was at times interesting, but mostly just a standard adventure with little new to offer.
I won’t bother watching your video. I’ll just answer the question. It’s great!
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
Indiana jones finished with The Last Crusade these last two movies were fan films
The Dial of Destiny was all bad. The opening sequence on the train and the last half hour were great. Mads Mikkelsen is always great as a villain, and Harrison Ford was fantastic.
Bad, but not worst.
@@Alfador42 can we petition Mads Mikkelsen to play dr doom in the MCU? He'd be great! Way better than his villain in dr strange.
Now I want to see a Full Muttal Jacket movie.
I only saw ferrari vs Ford once in the pictures and what I can remember Matt Damon was great
Dial is a bad movie, it's sad that some people have no standards and will eat whatever s@@t Hollywood puts in front of them. The movie is boring and too long.
Agreed on the whole it’s the writing not the director I think it got messed up behind the scenes and yeah the pace of the movie just felt so all over the place I did slightly enjoy this movie I’m just glad I got to see him again in the outfit also Ford v Ferrari is great
KITTY!
My first thought when they took off his hood and he turned his head was "wow this looks fake". It looked about as good as a PS4 game. Decent sure, but for a feature film it was embarrassing. Beyond that I don't like the new characters that dominated the movie. They have Indy tied up inside a plane while these two other characters chase after him. If Indy can't be the one rescuing someone, just don't make the movie. And then of course they had to throw in "A British Tar" because we have to redo everything that was in the old movies for fan service. Also after everything Indiana Jones has done for the world, he asks to die in history. Seemed fitting. Oh wait, lets have this random new girl disrespect his wished and punch his lights out. Hate that character and I hate this movie.
They had to bring in new characters because Indiana Jones is a dinosaur now. Indy can't be old. This type of hero and action star doesn't work with an elderly man. The movie shouldn't have been made.
@@HackTheMovies Disney should have taken the money and invested it into their animation department and made a traditional fairy-tale feature and get back to what actual Disney fans liked about the company in the first place. And then sell all these LucasFilm properties that they have no business touching. And also stop with all the remakes and make new animated movies like they did with Frozen.
@@mikematei Agreed.
They really should have recast Indy, the movie bombed because nobody was excited to see an 80 year old Indy. Harrison Ford is barely in it anyways because he can barely do anything in front of the camera, lmao.
Toni calling there podcast was so funny I listened to it 20 times
The opening felt like a classic Indiana Jones film, but the rest of it simply didn't work. It should have just been the original three, but I wonder what it might have been like if they kept making them and recasting Indy like James Bond...
The return of Space Cat!!! & side note: all you need is a Hot Topic and a GameStop.
Space Cat loves Johanna.
The worst.
that spiderverse movie was way too long and couldn't wait for it to be over. I was ready to fall asleep.
2:30 😂😂😂
Tony Munching on a Slice: what's the commotion over there at the stir fry hut? 😅
The cat is a nice accessory
I liked this one a lot more than Crystal Skull.
Right on.
Mutt was killed going up river to kill colonel Kurtz
What they should do with Indy is to re-cast with a younger actor and reboot the series in 10-15 years. And have it maybe take place in the 20's or 30's. Indy(I think)works best in that time period.
There was a 90s show that did that.
I just watched this on disney plus, thought it was fun and i enjoyed every single one. Went back to this to see what yall thought at the time... i dont get the hate...this kind of hate should directed at the jurasic world series lol. They are all fun and enjoyable. I loved them going back in time with nazis. It was interesting
Tapped out once you had Vito call in.
When is Space Cat going to get a Twitter account?
Fleabag is overrated.
Can your cat be in every episode? Lol
Yeah. And Simon kinberg was the person to try the phoenix saga again.
Right.
I guess failing upsets is a thing?
Not a profitable thing, but, cool..?
I personally felt it’s was way better then crystal skull. It’s not as good as the others but it’s pretty close and on par with the original trilogy and all the tropes we want to see in the Indiana Jones movie. I personally liked the movie and it had me entertained from beginning to end. There is some slow scenes but it’s still entertaining to watch. I’m happy it didn’t fall into the same trap as Star Wars did.
Agreed. But to be fair, there was no way this movie could equal, let alone surpass, the original three. No one was expecting that. I think they did good. Especially compared to the previous entry.
No.
@@Alfador42 that's why I hope its better than crystal skull. Crystal Skull sucked.
@@kdusel1991 Well, you need to rejoice but it is. It really is.
@@Alfador42 thank goodness for that.
We, as a society, really need to stop dealing in the absolutes of good/bad, horrible/great.
Most entertainment is and has always been in the gray of ok, because most people and most artists that create are mediocre to ok. And all of that is ok.
23:13 I think you’re _way_ off base there Tony. I’m pretty sure he was just taunting him.
Sounds like seeing Asteroid City this past weekend instead of this was the right call.
I saw it at the drive-in and because of the so-so image quality I could not really see the flaws of the CGI so I guess it helped the experience. Ok movie 6/10
Please for the love of God - MORE Spacecat reviews please
Soon as they claimed Fleavag wasn't terrible I turned the review off
Johanna's annoying as hell anyway
They call it Indy 5 because that’s what it is out of 10. The film is a 5/10. Just very average. The McGuffin isn’t fun and is actually retarded. There’s no logic begin how it works at all. It detects rifts in time? But nobody in 2,000 years with modern tech was able to detect them by any other means? Why do the Nazis think that rift would take them to 1939? And why would it conveniently be that one rift right near them at the exact moment they retrieved the dial? Why did the portal open to 213?
I've said this before in discussions about elderly reboots, they just need to switch focus a little bit, if Indiana was still a badass, but cognisant of his physical body failing because he's ancient, kind of like what Clint Eastwood did in Gran Torino but less of him beating people up, and more using his head. Yes, it wouldn't be a classic Indiana Jones movie like the good ones, but it might actually be a good movie on its own. Trying to shoehorn a geriatric actor into a movie with lots of excitement and action but having to add a younger actor to pick up the slack because the primary is fucking old backfires almost always.
Edit: They also always have these old people down in the dumps for whatever stupid reason, why can't they be successful, do the writers really hate boomers so much that they want them to be miserable.
