    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    ★★

    Spectacularly dull. After two hours of boring, meandering set pieces, an absence of stakes and toothless villainy, Mangold's grip on the fedora finally feels real in the third act, hinting at a genuinely fun twist and fitting resolution for a protagonist who's desperately ready to sunset a half century of globe-trotting, swashbuckling, politically fraught grave-robbing. But no. Instead, all sense of tension and narrative progression is instantly evaporated in a punch and a pinch, clumsily wrapped up in the most…

    ★★★★

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    I don't know about y'all, but when that insanely tense build-up to the white-hot blast of the Trinity bomb test and the resulting dazzled brilliance of a Promethean mushroom cloud was intercut with audio of Oppy getting sloppy from a moaning Florence Pugh while reciting that famously prophetic passage from the Bhagavad Gita, I felt Nolan enter full-blown sicko mode. A move that's so gloriously perverse but one that also manages to retroactively justify the entire first act feeling like a prolonged movie trailer complete with near-constant, heavy-handed score. Also, Tom Conti's Einstein for MVP.

    Is there anything that more embodies that turn of the millenium, post-Y2K triumph of The Year of Our Lord 2001 than a bunch of steamy-eyed, muscle-bound rev-heads cruising around in suped-up Honda Civics, listening to Ja Rule, drinking Coronas and trying to get that all-time, life-changing score of DVD players?
