No idea where the first reactions are. I'm assuming the premiere started late.

James Mangold directs a modern masterpiece that will sweep the box office, just as much as it’s about to sweep the Oscars next year. Congrats to the whole cast & crew!#IndianaJones #DialofDestiny #Cannes

Thanks for the notice.

No spoilers, but it does get into the story a bit…

Same here…

Harrison Ford's last stand as #IndianaJones is "a terrific thrill ride". Here's the Total Film review of The Dial of Destiny: https://t.co/xFarORglsN

Also...Ethann Isidore is a star, and I can't wait for this kid to win an Oscar for best supporting actor in the next 30 years.

This film must be incredible. I’ve never seen Harrison Ford like this before #Indianajones https://t.co/5mcxQQyfKs

— Sam Cook (@SCook_TV) May 18, 2023

That gets me in the feels seeing him like that even. I guess this is pretty much his last movie ever?

He hasn't retired. He'll be in both Captain America: New World Order and Thunderbolts next summer, season two of Shrinking at some point next year, and then I'm sure more movies after that.

Ah forgot about the marvel stuff.

Again, proceed at your own risk…

We're so lucky that John Williams returned for both Star Wars and Indiana Jones. His new score is another masterpiece and Helena's Theme is his most precious piece of music since Rey's Theme. Williams never disappoints. A master who moves with elegance and ease - just incredible! pic.twitter.com/PK0kV6iyts

Reading more about the story involved has me pretty pumped. I had no idea what to make of it because the plot was mostly unknown. It sounds incredible.

Mads Mikkelsen is going to wind up in the cinematic bad guy hall of fame.

It’s still very early on and the negative reviews are from the usuals who hate pretty much dislike anything mainstream. Expecting this rating to change soon. https://t.co/KrXY9obgBa

Damn. Disappointing.

I would definitely wait till more American press/critics see it, seeing as the Cannes audience can be pretty weird. That said, personally, I've still seen almost exclusively positive reactions so far.

This one is just laughably positive and effusive. I really want it to be great, but come on.

Agreed. It was unfortunately the very first one, so I went with it.

I'm more likely to enjoy it if I go in with low expectations, so I kind of hope folks trash it a bit

there's hardly anything i could read on twitter or the internet that would keep me from seeing an indiana jones movie in the theater. the bar was set so low with the last one, that i cannot imagine one with james mangold not being a dramatic improvement.

The trailers looked really bad, so I'm not surprised this film is getting throat punched.

Has Kathleen Kennedy ever done anything other than double down again? The amount of hubris that she has from having to fetch coffee for Spielberg and Lucas is crazy.

Edit: I really want this to be good as I love the old serial send up and Indy is one of my favorite characters of all time in fiction but man my expectations are incredibly low.

INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY retains the action, humor & spirit of the franchise even if James Mangold can’t measure up to Spielberg’s cinematic brilliance. Harrison Ford gets the dignified ending his iconic character deserves but Phoebe Waller-Bridge steals the show! pic.twitter.com/Dd264igQGS

High praise from this usual curmudgeon…

For what it is — a vigorous, unabashed reboot with all the necessary beats and flamboyant diversions that fans of this 42-year-old tentpole actioner will require — “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is fine as far as it goes. Last night’s pans were unwarranted. A good ride.

#IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny is a thrilling homage to Steven Spielberg's original films. It's an entertaining swansong for Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, he kills it once again. Its a fitting ending to the series. #Cannes pic.twitter.com/xoOS9HTxR5

It’s 30mn too long, some ideas are not fully realised and Mads Mikkelsen isn’t given enough to do but some of the film really is lovely and there are some fun nods to the old films that aren’t cheap or distracting. I’d give it 4 stars #Cannes2023

— FilmLand Empire (@FilmLandEmpire) May 19, 2023

The best thing about this is that we finally get the National Treasure movie we never got AND the REAL fourth Indy movie we've all been waiting for. It delivers and doesn't overreach either - exactly the wonderful archeological adventure it should be.

I can also absolutely 100% say that Dial of Destiny is not at all a "waste of time". I am already wondering how many times I'll go see it again in theaters. The action scenes are all fantastic and it's the most exhilarating big screen experience I've had so far this year.

— Alex B. @ #Cannes2023 🍥 (@firstshowing) May 19, 2023

Some of you are overreaching to, like, four reviews from a snooty audience in France. As I said, give it some time before more common folk see it. Reactions are getting better and better…

I am going to go see this movie. I'm excited to see it. I love the first 3 and the 4th is bad when Shia Labouf is on screen (which is much more than I'd like) and enjoyable otherwise.

BUT

I don't think its reaching to say this is probably not a home run when Owen Gleiberman at Variety doesn't even like it. He isn't a snooty critic by any measure. I don't agree with him often, but he is one of the more populist critics (although he hated Avatar 2, which I quite liked so \_()_/ ).

It sounds like this is better than #4 but still doesn't really feel like anything but a retread of greatest hits from the series that may or may not stick the landing depending on how much the rest of the movie does for you.

Expectations adjusted.

That's not going to be a problem for me. I am one who found Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to be as entertaining as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and actually better because it didn't feature a screeching blonde and an annoying brat, well, it had an older annoying brat.

Ever since I read some jackhole's evisceration of John Carpenter's The Thing back in '82, I have been able to take any critic's opinion and punt it into the Grand Canyon for all I care.
