The latest installment of the Indiana Jones film series faces a dismal opening in theaters and a withering response from a variety of film critics.
published a review slamming the film for ending the series with"more of a whimper than a bang."
It noted that the character portraying Jones’ goddaughter, which has been suggested that she might lead the series in future installments,"consistently undermines any likability" she has with the audience by having"unfunny quips left and right" and"often takes center stage in a film that should by all accounts belong to Indy, meaning Dr. Jones ends up feeling oddly secondary in a story that’s supposed to be his grand finale.
"The only reason for this film to exist, then, is as an exercise in intellectual property propagation. Indy already got his sendoff in Crystal Skull; they even nodded at the passing of the torch to come. But now the character’s owned by a new distributor with new priorities," Bunch wrote."And so, Indiana Jones is pressed into duty once again at the behest of the raiders of the lost IP.
