Many people were hating on this film a month in advance and as much as they tried, the audience rejected this film. With Phoebe Waller Bridge getting second credit, I didn't have much faith in this film myself despite really liking every clip I saw.
And it turned out to be a good film. Sure, it had its flaws but I saw it with my nephew who whispered to me how awesome that first twenty minutes was. Also, even though her character is nasty, Phoebe's Helena didn't bother me as much as I thought other than I question how this kind of character can progress pass this film but if audience indication is anything, she's not going far.
Personally, I don't care how old Harrison Ford is, it's always a treat to see him with the whip and hat. Even though I liked the film, I still feel like he deserved better. Sallah should have came on the journey and Short Round should have at least made a cameo.
Voller could have been a better villain but forever he will be known as the teleporting villain. His goons were memorable and I wish they had a better end for the film. Speaking of the end, well, it's not that great but then again, I didn't have high praise for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's ending either.
Unfortunately, as of this writing, Indiana Jones has been defeated at the box office by Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning part 1. I enjoyed the film for what it was but I get why people are getting tired of Disney turning out heroes into broken losers. See Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Buzz Lightyear, Willow.... you get the point. Time to stop hating on your characters and respect the fans, Disney!
