Dial of Destiny




Dial Of Destiny is a blast. The action scenes might be the best in the Indiana Jones saga since Temple of Doom, they happen often and feel like old school action sequences. For a film over 2 hours, it moves at a quick pace. The cast is great, Harrison Ford plays Old Man Indy in a slow and disgruntled way, Phoebe Waller Bridge plays her tweener role with a dash of seduction and a wink of sarcasm, even bit players get time to shine. The final act takes a big left turn and while contrived it is quite bonkers. The ending is a bit Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but wraps up everything nicely. James Mangold has now given swan songs to Indy, Professor X(well at the time) and Wolverine(see Professor X).
