  Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 2023

  ★★ Rewatched 05 Jan 2024

  My God, why did I watch this? The pacing was abysmal, the runtime is so long, the scenes are protracted. The action just sucks and the VFX is wonky.

However, it doesn't resonate with me that much now that I think about it. The blatant and horrible racism of the film is what really soured the taste of it for me. It takes a lot away from my enjoyment. Not to mention, there was…
