“Steven Spielberg Praises ‘Indiana Jones 5’: A Must-See Movie of 2023”

Any magician exhausts his tricks if he repeats them over and over again. That Steven Spielberg does not have bad movies is something that is easily denied when we see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the fourth installment in the franchise directed by the acclaimed filmmaker. Yet Indie is as synonymous with Harrison Ford as it is with Spielberg. That is why there are many who lowered their expectations regarding the fifth installment, Indiana Jones and the Day of Destiny, knowing that for the first time Spielberg would be away from the director’s chair. On paper, it’s hard to believe that a film is in better hands with James Mangold than with Spielberg but, we repeat, Mangold’s first is better than anyone’s fifth, even if it’s Spielberg.

Harrison Ford maintains the identity of the franchise while Phoebe Waller-Bridge promises freshness in front of the camera and Mangold in front. Little by little, the little faith in the project due to Spielberg’s absence and Ford’s age has turned into hope, into freshness. Trailers that look quite good and a rejuvenation CGI that, at least in the previews, looks more than good, have contributed to this, to a true nostalgic shot of 80s indie.

However, the most authoritative voice to talk about it is Steven Spielberg himself, the creator of the saga, the father of Indiana (no, it’s not Sean Connery). When Spielberg talks about Indiana Jones 5 The others have to shut up. Spielberg has already seen the movie, and this is what he has to say.

I had the experience two nights ago. Bob Iger did a screening for many of the Disney executives and I came to the screening with the director, James Mangold. Everyone loved the movie. It’s a really, really good ‘Indiana Jones’ movie. I’m very proud of what Jim has done with it. When the lights came up, I just turned to the group and said, ‘Damn! I thought I was the only one who knew how to make one of these.

We can only imagine James Mangold enduring the two hours of his film, which will be known by heart, with the tension of what Spielberg would say at the end. Hearing that in front of the Disney brass has to be the definition of relief. Despite the bad reviews, the fourth installment of Indiana Jones touched the 800 million box office collection. Of course, 15 years ago, without streaming platforms through. However, no one doubts that it will be one of the movies of 2023.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate It will hit theaters around the world on June 28, 2023. Meanwhile, if you want to see part of Spielberg’s master class in which he released this and other pearls, we leave it below.
