One of the greatest movie characters of all time is back on the big screen, but is it a good thing?
"Dial of Destiny" is a globe-trotting adventure like earlier Indy entries, and they are looking for the next clue on each continent. This isn't the most clever hunt of the franchise but it has fun elements and puzzles to work out. It was enough of an adventure to find the dial. It kept me interested and guessing as we met new characters, faced challenges, and encountered a bullwhip once or twice.was too old to play Dr.
Whether the movie is good, or not, there is something special about watching this movie star don the fedora and crack his whip. Indiana Jones is one of the greatest movie characters of all time, and that is thanks to Ford. It is fun to see him doing it again."Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" is two hours and 34 minutes long, and it sometimes feels like it.
After a fun epilogue to the movie, we hit the brakes and catch up with Dr. Jones in the 1960s. I understand the need for the story's setup, but it went on much longer than needed — and we had some speed bumps throughout the film.I did not dislike "Dial of Destiny," but it's missing that magic of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Last Crusade." There is something inherently wonderful about those movies; this one just doesn't quite have it.
I saw the film with my three kids, ages 12, 10 and 7. All of them handled it just fine. The 12-year-old girl liked it but didn't love it. My 10-year-old son thought it was fantastic. My 7-year-old daughter fell asleep and got lost, but gave it a drowsy thumbs up when it was all over. "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, language and smoking.
