I really really wanted to like it.Sounds like a flop then
I appreciate your honesty
And to be clear: I wanted this to be good. But there was no reason to expect that at all. Bad management.
But the fact that towards the end of the movie I thought that I was hallucinating says a lot.

…sadly…”disbelief” is a familiar feeling in a theater with an LFL movie on the screen…I can think of at least 3.5 times for me
And I’m not talking about Tucker or Howard the duck

Having just watched it, I would question the sanity of the reviewer. I'd place it above Crystal Skull but that's all. Personally, I found it disappointing and a sad unfulfilling farewell to the Indiana Jones character. I'd say stick a fork in it, the franchise is done.

This is the equivalent of Force Awakens, only a more plodding version of that kind of remake/reboot. So I guess it’s better since there’s no Rise of Skywalker here.

This is going to be a complete financial disaster.

I would take this over the Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker, not Force Awakens

TFA made over $2bn 8 years ago.
Indy will be lucky to make a 1/4 of that not adjusting for inflation.

I was ranking it in terms of preference of movies. no money talk here.
Indy 5 will probably make less money than it cost to get Harrison back in Force Awakens

One of my friend saw it last night at 9pm in San Diego and here are the bullet points from his Facebook review…
1) 6 people in the theater
2) He rated it 3/10
3) The antagonists were all over the place
4) Phoebe Waller Bridges character was smarter, faster, stronger, and younger than Indy, he questioned why she’d even keep him around as he just slowed her down. He felt it “betrayed” the character of Indians Jones.
5) He said they overused the theme song to the point it lost its effectiveness.
6) The ones compliment he said is there’s a good misdirect, he didn’t say what though to not spoil it.
Overall he said he’ll remember Indy as ending after the last Crusade.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement that has me itching to run out to see it.

So that's twice that Harrison Ford has been treated identically by Disney Lucasfilm. Fleabag gave Indy the Rey to Han Solo treatment.
