INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY To Rival "John Carter" As Disney's Biggest Bomb

[Paul MacLean]

Mangold does speak glowingly of John Williams tho, and admits he has tried to cajole the composer to release as long an album as possible...

No question there's a huge tonal shift between Fleabag's snark in the Super Bowl ad and this overall "Heroic Indy" advertisement that all but confirms they've been reshooting and reshooting and trying to release something that isn't a total embarrassment for fans to poop on.

I just find it confounding some people think James Mangold is a "great director" because he made a hugely overrated, downbeat super-hero movie that dared to kill off its lead. I guess maybe that's why they hired him here too -- only to find out nobody wanted that for Indiana Jones. Guess we'll find out for sure soon enough.

A little more info on Williams' contribution.

Apparently, the initial plan (according to the director) was for a "Superman IV" approach -- i.e. some new themes and someone else writing the actual dramatic score, but...

Another Disney bloatothon at 142 minutes. THE LAST JEDI of INDIANA JONES movies...Lol

[Monterey Jack]

Two out of the previous four Indy movies were under two hours (and the others were just barely over).

[AndyDursin]

Missed the leaked material that came out -- and sadly it confirms EVERYTHING we've been hearing about for months/years.

Watch the bottom video FIRST

It looks lame. Nothing really unexpected though.

[Monterey Jack]

That head at the bottom should belong to Crow T. Robot or Tom Servo.

[AndyDursin]

That's going to be the only way this is worth watching most likely

[Monterey Jack]

Ford's gimpy running is SO embarrassing to watch.

[AndyDursin]

It looks like an Elderly FAST AND THE FURIOUS. Just as cartoonish and even more absurd on its own level.

The Slow & The Lumbering.

[AndyDursin]

A gut busting 154 MINUTES, just what a film like this doesn't need.

I didn't see the last one. I'm not going to see this, either.
