Harrison Ford in a scene from the movie"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."For me, there will never be a moment when watching Harrison Ford rock a fedora and crack a bullwhip on a giant screen will be anything less than a movie must. But "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," now in theaters, doesn't do many favors for the iconic star.
"What are you, like, 80?" asked Shia LaBeouf as a punk kid -- and maybe Indy's secret son -- who likes needling the old man until he gets schooled in what a real action hero is.Now Ford is 80 for real, and he's still showing the kids how it's done. You may be thrown by the opening sequence, a flashback featuring Ford, uncannily and unnervingly de-aged, taking on the Nazis at the tail end of WW2.
It's no-go, even when "Fleabag" wiz Phoebe Waller-Bridge shows up as Indy's goddaughter Helena. Waller-Bridge seems less of her livewire self, perhaps burdened by the chore of explaining the plot about Helena's search for the lost dial of destiny created by Archimedes. Despite the efforts of four screenwriters, "Indy 5" never works up the narrative steam to hold us in thrall. Mangold can be a solid director , but he lacks Spielberg's genius for blending emotion with visuals built to wow.The wow factor in "Dial of Destiny" comes totally from Ford, whose humor and humanity cuts through digital effects that look wincingly tacky for an epic with a budget of $295 million.
