The Indiana Jones franchise is a fascinating one to talk about—primarily in that it was so good until … it wasn’t. They tried to make Indy happen again and when it did, it failed so hard that they basically stopped trying for a while. But now we’re gearing up for 2023, when we will see Harrison Ford don his hat and whip once more.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has a lot of work to do—mainly because the last movie we saw Indy in wasn’t exactly the best in the franchise, and if Harrison Ford is returning, you better make what might be his last outing a great one. I’m obviously talking about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and how the only good thing to come out of it is my own false sense of security in learning that, if it came down to it, I could survive a nuclear explosion by climbing into a fridge.
