Boring, choppy, and awkward. A lot of the movie circles around Napoleon’s relationship to lover Josephine, but it is depicted very awkwardly and in a way that is very difficult to believe. The only thing I enjoyed about the movie was the battle scenes which are done quite well, and the soundtrack. Nevertheless, the buildup to the battle scenes makes them difficult to understand, the transitions in the life of Napoleon are sloppy, and out of the illustrious and unique story that is Napoleon’s life we get a glib, sorry, and morose recounting. I felt myself forced to watch the movie rather than invested.

Fantastic movie with deep moral issues of atomic bomb displayed in a personal way

Cliche, choppy, and incongruous. Came to the movie theaters very excited after seeing the amazing trailer and although the special effects, fight scenes, and action all manifested themselves with characteristic spectacularity of a Mission Impossible movie, the plot, script, and chain of events were lackluster, incoherent, and erratic. This movie felt, in a sense, forced, with the acting and diegesis a bit over the top and terribly banal. Despite a handful of well made scenes, characters, lines, and plots, the movie was surprisingly disappointing and I don’t recommend it - especially to anyone expecting to see a classic, light, action-packed movie. The overly complicated Entity that is the “villain” of the movie particularly attenuates the charisma that besets every other Mission Impossible and the spirit of a classic Ethan Hunt adventure is curtailed by characters, plots, and a script barren of the qualities so prominently exhibited in the previous movies.

This Indiana Jones is truly a master-piece and a movie I intend to rewatch many times as with the originals. I’ve seen many bad reviews given to the movie regarding its storyline being hard to follow, untenable motive from the villain, and aggravating role from Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena Shaw, but I am confident in saying this is in no way the case and such review are very misleading. This movie exhibits everything one would want from an Indiana Jones movie - it is action-packed, funny, nostalgic, and uplifting from beginning to end. The plot is developed in an understandable and compelling manner, the villain has a motive strengthened by an incontrovertible and firm belief in his convluted Nazism leading to a fanatical endeavor for power, and the character of Helena Jones is a classic, retro-styled, witty protagonist who only enhances the movie. It troubles me that so many people are discouraged from watching this movie due to its disappointing reviews, strengthened especially by the veracious and deserved reviews of the substandard Indiana Jones 4 Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which might deter viewers who don’t wish to be disappointed again. But I can assure anyone that this Indiana Jones is a masterpiece and one of my favorite from the series, analogous to Raiders of the Lost Ark, made in the same good old-fashioned style which makes Indiana Jones both character and movie such a thrill to watch. You watch the same old Indy in one final, captivating adventure, with a well-developed story, characters, and adventure. This movie should especially resonate well with Indiana Jones fans and all the bad reviews are misleading and undeserved. I strongly encourage that everyone check out this movie on their own and am sure that instead of disappointment, you will find yourself pleasantly surprised with a classic and well-done Indiana Jones movie.
