Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Finding himself in a new era, and approaching retirement, Indy wrestles with fitting into a world that seems to have outgrown him. But as the tentacles of an all-too-familiar evil return in the form of an old rival, Indy must don his hat and pick up his whip once more to make sure an ancient and powerful artifact doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

As a fan, maybe I expected too much from what should be a comical, breakneck-paced movie. But each film has a point beyond the adventure. Raiders has the romance. Temple of Doom has another romance set in the past and a heroic mission to save a village. The Last Crusade has Indiana reconnecting with his father.
Indiana Jones films have a heart behind the thrills. Dial of Destiny has a washed-up Indiana carried on an adventure while he battles the regret of past mistakes. There certainly is a heart, but not the story that is worthy of a telling.
