Not Mr. Big

No one remembers Spielberg getting pissed off over Shia disparaging KotCS? I honestly believe his death was probably the one holdover from when it was just Steven and Koepp on the project, if he apparently had enough power to get rid of Megan Fox in the third Transformers movie.
 
I did see the movie this weekend alongside the rerun of Pirates 1, but my thoughts about it have been spiraling so much that I think I want to make a full fledged review on that section of the website.

one thing about killing off Mutt, at least to me, it comes off too 'meta'
 
its like hey, you know that character/actor that nobody seemed to agree on?
 
let's kill him for Indy's arc in DoD.
 
I'm sure there's precedent for this (can't think of any off the top of my head), and I'm not even trying to say I'm feeling this because i didn't mind Mutt, it just seemed like low-effort, low-hanging fruit.  And purposely treating KOTCS like a poor entry in the franchise.  Too meta.
 
What's worse (KOTCS's fault, ultimately) is that we barely see Indy and Mutt establish a good father/son relationship.
 
Something about killing him off comes off as lazy, even if it does work for DoD's story.
 
If you're going to make a 'pointless' character, atleast don't make him a family member.
 
 

The Nazi theme is kind of like if Anthem of Evil was actually used in the TROS score (the melody itself is a lot more simple and effective too). 
 
Also it has a great "villain's destruction" moment that we never really got in the ST (Snoke and Palpatine's deaths were both scored with the upbeat renditions force theme)

Finally saw the movie a few days ago and I have to say hearing a brand new JW score for the first time in the theater is still a one-of-a-kind experience !
I always find myself fascinated by it all, down to the very last note of the end credits (at which point I pretty much always find myself alone in the theater since, well...practically everybody walks out before the very end, which I never do and which IMO is even more sacrilegious when it is JW music !!)
But yeah, thank you Maestro for still gifting us with these wonders 🙏

He should just retitle it Germans 1944 and be done with it

He uses it for everything in the first one

There’s a really great rendition of the theme that plays as the train is speeding along. Too bad it’s not on the album.

Maybe Helena is like a 60s hipster who loves Golden Age film music 

Its numbers were also boosted by some company buying tickets in bulk and gifting them to church groups for "free".  Essentially gaming the system 

Deadline called it "Faith-based", and apparently the distributor also financed many movies targeting religious people. 

How is a movie about real-life child sex trafficking based on a true story a "Christian" movie?
