Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny is the final instalment in the franchise. I grew up watching the previous films. I didn't watch Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull in full. The white supremacist neo nazi conservatives were already triggered by the interview and will be by this film. An action adventure. Pheobe did excellent. She was of the writers for No Time To Die and Fleabag. A few cast members have been involved with Star Wars and James Bond. The rightwingers don't like her. She is talented and attractive. You get to see action kick off nearing the end of World War 2. The spear of destiny is on being placed on board a train by the Nazis. They have gathered more treasure. Indy and Shaw are there to get what they can. Happen to run into trouble. I liked the action, stunt work and comedy. There is an artifact that is only one half of a larger piece. The user will have the ability to travel through time. Over in 1969 Indy has been teaching at a university and is due to retire. Helena needs Indy to help her get this treasure. She has her own motives. Voller is over in America and has a team. The US government did harbour some nazis after the war. They would work on projects. Great filming locations. You get to learn some things. This franchise did inspire Nation Treasure, Tomb Raider. You have the iconic theme. Indy is a pensioner and he is pretty active. References to older films. Bringing back legacy characters. You might like Timeline, Timeless and Outlander. Thinking of the ending I would have liked it to go one way. Shia Lebouf's character died during a war. Spielberg and Lucas were involved with the film. Classic Indiana Jones adventure. There is the TV series Young Indiana worth looking into. See the trivia on Imdb. I did see a continuity error. Helena holds these cards up to Indy. It changes and the camera pans to something else and then back on the cards.
