They needed to adopt the British detective series model where the protagonist is some dusty librarian looking old guy with halitosis yet is idolized by his colleagues and community for his tenure of brilliance. [Reply]

4 years in that dusty old British detective turns into Jason Bourne, though.

Just...shit on 'em. Make sure that what you learn, 30 years after you cheered for the good guys to win, was that none of it matters and everyone hates themselves in the end.
Just a home run approach, really.
I don't get it. It's really not that hard to sideline a beloved character respectfully instead of what Disney keeps doing. [Reply]
Epic. All of it. #TheRiseofSkywalker is a terrific finale that is just stuffed with so much of everything. Action, adventure — answers!! — humor, heart, love, and grit. I spent the entire second half with tears in my eyes - a wonderful way to end the Skywalker story pic.twitter.com/K2NhHSGWzM

Le Figaro: "This fifth and final film, lively and lively, brings to a brilliant close a legendary saga that began 42 years ago with Raiders of the Lost Ark, signed by the creative duo George Lucas and Steven Spielberg."
Le Monde: "At 300 million dollars (against 18 for the first episode), Mangold could have afforded to miss the funeral, but he gets away with it with honors."
Le Parisien: "We saw the new Indiana Jones... and we loved it. Spectacular, funny and very spirited, he made us capsize."
20 Minutes: "History and history intertwine in a very funny way and the superb action scenes often give way to beautiful moments between the characters. We even wiped away a little tear from time to time."
Premiere: "If the film never reaches the heights of Steven Spielberg's first three in terms of action and comic timing, James Mangold elegantly appropriates Indiana Jones, between great spectacle and very clever modernization of the legend. "
Le Point: "The 5th film in the saga partially redeems the disappointment of the previous one and the aging myth regains color."
La Voix du Nord: "Credible or not, it's jubilant. (...) However, this generosity also has its downside. A litany of references to the saga that turns into self-quotation, even copying."
Sud Ouest: "Spectacular, funny... A sometimes implausible farewell but one that has panache."
Oof. Seeing a lot of reviews that make me believe the plot synopsis I read was legit. Welp, on the bright side this may finally be what gets KK ousted, although I doubt anyone that would replace her does any difference [Reply]

Should have happened YEARS ago; she is utterly incompetent. KK must have pictures, video, and DNA evidence on Disney execs... [Reply]

You don't understand. She is doing what she wants to do and her brand of beliefs are in vogue. [Reply]

This is the beginning of the end of woke films pushing agendas and ignoring profits [Reply]
