I was curious to see what Disney had in store for us in the Indiana Jones franchise with this fifth film. When I sat down to watch it in theaters with a friend one Monday, I wasn't bored. There were tons of fun moments and lots of action. I also liked the various references and Easter eggs throughout the film. At least there was an actual historical artifact instead of some weird sci-fi element. As of this review, Dial of Destiny is my new-favorite Indiana Jones film. Yes, the box office results weren't great but movies don't need to make a lot of money just to be good. It's important that we the viewers enjoy what's put in front of us. Well, most of us. Anyway, if you've seen the original three then you probably don't need to see this. Oh, and for those new to the franchise, avoid Crystal Skull and at least see Last Crusade.
