Sean’s movie thoughts

 The new Indiana Jones movie is too long. I liked the film but it feels long. There is a car chase that I was tempted to fast forward through. I might not like car chases that much. I feel like the last few car chases I have seen have been too long.  There is a long prologue to start the film. It has a digitally de-aged Harrison Ford, I guess it looked okay or at least better than some uses of the technology. (I wonder if there was old footage of a younger Harrison Ford included somehow.) It was nice to see John Rhys-Davies again. Phoebe Waller-Bridge was good as Indiana's goddaughter. (The prologue introduces her father.) I guess the movie is better than I expected. I am okay if this is the last Indiana Jones movie.  https://www.reelviews.net/reelviews/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny  I feel that review is fair. I have seen worse movies and will in the future but maybe this series should have ended already.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Dynasty is getting bad reviews so far.  It will be interesting to see how many positive reviews there are in the coming days.  It is okay for stories to end. Indiana Jones might not need to age but Harrison Ford ages. Unless we want someone else playing Indiana Jones, maybe Ford should not have come back one more time. People seem not to want a new actor playing Indiana Jones. At least one prominent Star Wars YouTuber wants movies featuring computer generated versions of a young Harrison Ford, Mark Hamil, and Carrie Fisher. (I don't watch his work but apparently some people I follow on Twitter do and comment on his work. I have not fallen into the Star Wars YouTube rabbit hole and I don't think I will.) I think that would be awful. Maybe some of Carrie Fisher's films after the original trilogy ended were not great but some were fun. Hamil has done some good voice over work and Ford became a star outside the franchise. I think computer generated...
