Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny marks the end of an era, with an older and grumpy Indy ready to retire, but Harrison Ford's performance remains charming and charismatic.
The action sequences in Dial of Destiny are thrilling and take Indy and his goddaughter Helena on a globe-trotting adventure, with director James Mangold never holding back on the fun.
While the story may be formulaic at times, the chemistry between Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Harrison Ford shines, even though Helena's character development feels lacking.
