Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Actors: Harrison Ford, John Rhys-Davies, Karen, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, Mads Mikkelsen

Rating: 8 out of 10, A truly fitting send off to an old friend. Harrison Ford is still a bona fide movie star and effortlessly carries this action flick despite his age. It was so fun to root for him again, especially since he gets to take on his old tormentors, the Nazis. The first part of the film features Indy back in World War 2 and the de-aging process was amazing. In a few years they won’t even need actors any more if this is where digitization is headed. They followed the tried-and-true formula assigning appropriate references to earlier films while still pursuing a fun adventure in the late 60’s. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is fantastic as the female lead, a goddaughter to Indy and every bit as watchable as in her earlier roles. A very fun film that will serve as an entirely more worthy send off to this iconic character. Loved it.

MVP: Ford, who else, as the indestructible Dr Jones
