And I can't understand why anyone finds "DoD" to be exciting or thrilling, so we're at an impasse! ;)

Meh. I just find "DoD" to be "DuLL".

"Skull" is undeniably the worst of the 4. But it still "feels like" an Indiana Jones movie in ways "DoD" doesn't. I didn't call the whole movie "charming" but there's a spark and charm in it that I feel "DoD" lacks.

I don't hate "DoD". It's a watchable movie. But it lacks the charm of the prior 4. It feels like an AI generated Indy movie.

The NYC parts are pretty good, but I find the prologue to be gratuitous, too long and too "rote" - it feels like a jumble of ideas from earlier movies and never delivers much excitement. Same goes for the whole movie, really. Which kills me, because "RotLA" is a top 10 - maybe top 5 -...

Yeah, "KotCS" is unquestionably flawed, but it's still fun in ways "DoD" isn't. I hoped I'd like "DoD" more my 2nd time but nope - it's still just a drag too much of the time. It feels like an AI attempt to make an Indy movie - just none of the original magic.
