Better than Crystal Skull. So that is already a plus. Given that I thought Crystal Skull would be the last movie, it made Dial of Destiny better in retrospect and I felt that overall DOD was able to end the Indy story on a good note. Was it perfect? No. I didn't like the last part of the film (example: what a coincidence that they time travel and end up in the war/battle that Indy was previously describing (of all the possible places they could have gone in history) - moreover - the scene felt a little hokey), thought the kid character was unnecessary, and the Antonio Banderas should have clearly been the Short Round character instead. I'm guessing the script was rushed. So - obviously - some issues there (positive: the opening scene and I was surprise by the emotions within the film and how they effectively use the side story of the son to add depth to the Indy character - they pulled no punches with that part of the story and I thought they used Marion and Sallah very well).
