The Critical Drinker lambasted this movie savagely. Won't waste my time with this.
Terribly sad to see the characters/movies we grew up loving being torn up and savaged by studios who have lost the plot in failing to do the one thing - entertain us.

Drinker on a mission to thrash anything Disney.
It's been generally well received elsewhere.

I'd rather say Disney is on a mission to produce crappy series/movies. They miss the mark more often than not.

Nah I haven't seen a single proper review about it that's above "meh". They really shot themselves in the foot with that horrible Cannes opening a month before theatrical release.
The plot and writing in general is just garage, essentially the Nazi's are the good guys and Indy being in the movie is irrelevant.
I'll give it props for taking the worst Indy movie crown from Crystal Skull, which I don't consider part of the original trilogy given how bad it was.

In terms of the box office it's also doing much worse than Crystal Skull in it's opening and that's without adjusting for inflation or ticket prices.
Chalk it up to another success for franchise destroyer Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Next up Tomb-Raider.
 
Ive always wanted to learn to Scuba dive, maybe I won't watch this and it also brings memories of the Titanic Scuba catastrophe

Bottom line is that it didn't receive the critical lambasting that everyone thought it would given it's checkered history.
Remember Temple of Doom wasn't a masterpiece either and Last Crusade was basically recycled Lost Ark.

What would you consider a critical lambasting?
At this point I believe most critics must be snorting crack from a carpet given how "high" they rate terrible shows. Case and point Willow.
I trust the audience ratings more, but there you have to take into account most don't usually know much about the franchise itself so they won't be as critical.

That said, I'd still watch any of the original trilogy movies before crystal and dial. It has more to do the the general tenor of the movie than anything else.
It's honestly so easy to create decent movies with an established character like Indy, so it's a surprise this is the best they can come up with?

The last few Terminator movies were quite bad, probably worse than the Matrix sequels. Indy movies same thing.
So are most remakes.

I think Hollywood are just trying to remake and redo the old stuff because the audiences have changed over time. It must be profitable if they keep doing it.
