Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

 No no no no no, they should've ended the series with the excellent The Last Crusade, because if The Cystal Skull was bad, this one is downright bland and boring.

And considering a cast with Harrison Ford, Antonio Banderas and Mads Mikkelsen, I would say that is quite an achievement on it's own.

It starts in 1944, when nazi's (really, I lost count how many times that word has been uttered by Indy in this movie) capture Indiana Jones and Oxford archeologist Basil Shaw in the hunt for the Spear of Longinus.  The spear is a fake, but the german astrophysicist Jurgen Voller claims to have found Archimedes Dial, which is rumoured to allow for time travel.  It is lost in a river though during the escape, but Indy has managed to claim a piece of the dial never the less.

Twenty five years later, as he retires from his college job, he is visited by the late Shaw's granddaughter Helena.  He tells her her grandfather became obsessed with the dial, but as they go and retrieve Indy's half, associates of Voller attack them.  Helena runs of with the piece, and turns out to be an antiques smuggler trying to sell it off at a black market auction in Morocco.  Indy intervenes at the auction, but Voller and his men also appear and take the artifact with them.  

They chase them to Greece and guided by Shaw's research go dive for the second piece of the dial, but as Voller arrives they flee to Sicily where Archimedes resided during his lifetime.  With the instructions found in the shipwreck, they locate his tomb and as such the second part of the dial.  Voller though takes the second part and activates the dial, causing a time fissure to open.  Following them in, they end up at the siege of Syracuse.  They learn Archimedes has created the dial to have visitor's from the future come to that moment and aid in the siege, and as the fissure starts to collapse they return to their own time, where Indy reunites with Marion.

So yeah, this was a bad movie, period.  The magic of Indiana Jones really has ran it's course, so please stop diluting it with making more of this type of things...
