I like her! She's got spirit!
Indiana Jones 5. It's official.
- Thread starter Kelthaz
- Start date
Oof, that hit at the end.
Ahead of this film's release, all four films and The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones will be available on Disney+ on May 31.
I'll give you one guess why certain people hate her.

Just looking at the YouTube comments
“it’s a typical Kathleen Kennedy character”
“yes. Let’s have a normal speed conversation during a chase sequence. It’s like they’re not even there”
“ Indy looks like the side character in the movie. No thanks”
Most of the chase is Indy-centric, and they released that clip of a segment where Helena's centered. Not the best idea.
Reminded me of The Last Crusade on the boats. Bothered me very little.
People just need reasons to be angry. It's tiresome, predictable and annoying.

The first review I’ve seen and it’s positive. Please let them not be wrong https://www.gamesradar.com/indiana-...K3V3-UV69xnS2EwJjgkLIAcfE#lhtkpjh8vq8qgq2586r
Edit: Donald Clarke in the Irish Times enjoyed it less but he doesn’t seem to have hated it either

A fun behind-the-scenes featurette:
She kinda falls into the Brie Larsen category of women who are too tough and smart for certain people to like.
I should add that I had a hugely negative reaction to this film up until we started seeing some actual trailer footage, and now I am aching to see it. I remember crying at the end of Last Crusade (silently because I was with my friends and it was the 80s) because Ford said 'read my lips. No more Indiana Jones.' Crystal Skull was a huge disappointment when I saw it on bootlegged DVD, but now it feels like an adventure again.

It’s odd, a lot of press outlets are reporting on the movie’s 6 minute standing ovation but Variety described it as “lukewarm.” Their review isn’t a lot more favourable though broadly positive it’s detail-heavy so I stopped reading halfway in). https://variety.com/2023/film/revie...l-of-destiny-review-harrison-ford-1235617471/
Did those morons not see the very first Indiana Jones movie?
Standing ovations at Cannes are meaningless. Unless it's utter garbage you're going to get one.
All the reviews I've seen so far can basically by summed up with the word "Meh."
If they released Last Crusade today there would probably be some butt-hurt people on Twitter talking about "look at that book-burning scene! You know those woke Hollywood libs are taking shots at us by doing it!"
How the hell did people survive the 80s?
Yeah - PWB is the new breed of smart, witty and independent women that many men can't handle and so they lash out impotently on the internet.
As to your second part - do you mean Ford said that in the movie because i can't recall that and i've seen it again a couple of weeks ago. Crystal Skull really was/is a disappointment, so i am completely in your boat. The trailers are wonderful but so did the ones for Phantom Menace for example. I am really anxious to see it because i want this character to leave us on a high note and not fizzle out.
Is PWB really any different than Marian Ravenwood was in Raiders as far as being witty, smart, tough, etc.? Marian was universally well regarded as far as I can tell.
Or in today's online world do we just know more about PWB and Brie's politics than we knew about Karen Allen's or, say, Sigourney Weaver's politics back in the day. We are so much more 'tribal' and divided these days that I wonder if that is more of the dynamic at play as opposed to 'some men just can't handle strong women'. Strong female characters such as Marian Ravenwood or Ripley did not seem to receive the reaction that PWB or Brie have received. Is it less about strong female characters and more about the political divide in our world?

I think.its more the negative bias towards Hollywood than the actual character.
But, I'm a male who grew up with strong women in my life as well as characters. I find this as inoffensive as water.

Another Variety article bashing the de-aging process of this and other movies and takes another swipe at the movie in general.
Mangold must have really pissed someone off at Variety.
