Die ersten zehn Kritiken verpassen dem fünften Indy bei Metacritic einen Wert von 51 – und somit startet er dort mieser, als es damals Teil 4 ist. Auch die ersten Stimmen anderer Festival-Gäste auf Letterboxd sind insgesamt arg durchschnittlich. Die Reaktionen im Überblick:
Empire: 8 / 10
"Indy’s final date with destiny has a barmy finale that might divide audiences — but if you join him for the ride, it feels like a fitting goodbye to cinema’s favourite grave-robber."
Total Film: 8 / 10
"A terrific thrill ride. With Ford in fine form, Indy’s last stand is a highly satisfying blend of action, humour and emotion."
The Independent: 6 / 10
"The movie consists of a series of chases and fights linked by ever more improbable plot twists. The action is often very inventively staged. James Mangold, who has taken over directing duties from Steven Spielberg, sets a breakneck tempo."
The Guardian: 6 / 10
"This one has quite a bit of zip and fun and narrative ingenuity with all its MacGuffiny silliness that the last one (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) really didn’t."
The Irish Times: 6 / 10
"Nobody with a brain in their heads will compare Dial of Destiny favourably to the first three films. There is a sense throughout of a project struggling to stand beneath the weight of its history. But Mangold, director of Logan and 3.10 to Yuma, knows how to keep his foot on the pedal. The recreations of the 1960s vistas are gorgeous. The agreeable cameos keep coming."
Variety: 5 / 10
"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a dutifully eager but ultimately rather joyless piece of nostalgic hokum."
Vanity Fair: 5 / 10
"Now 80 years old, Ford still glows with that unique charisma. It’s a shame, then, that Dial of Destiny doesn’t do right by its heroes—both Ford and Dr. Henry Jones, archeologist adventurer."
IndieWire: 4 / 10
"Not only is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny an almost complete waste of time, it’s also a belabored reminder that some relics are better left where and when they belong. If only any previous entries in this series had taken great pains to point that out."
Screendaily: 4 / 10
"This iconic archaeologist has spent his life digging for the treasures of the past — sadly, Dial Of Destiny does the same thing, pillaging our collective fond memories of a once-great franchise."
The Telegraph: 4 / 10
"It ultimately feels like a counterfeit of priceless treasure: the shape and the gleam of it might be superficially convincing for a bit, but the shabbier craftsmanship gets all the more glaring the longer you look."
Das wird sich Disney mit dem frühzeitigen Cannes-Start anders erhofft haben …
