What bad reviews? Harrison Ford and giddy wife Calista Flockhart laugh off critiques

Harrison Ford and his wife Calista Flockhart were a picture of happiness as he signed autographs for fans in Cannes on Thursday.

The fifth and final installment in the Indiana Jones franchise made its highly anticipated premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, after which the film’s star, 80, was greeted by adoring fans.

The star, who had a deep tan, and his TV star wife, 58, looked happier than ever, despite the film receiving lukewarm reviews from critics.

A host of critics rushed to review the film after Thursday’s release, but some less than flattering opinions have been published, including The Time branding the film, “A meandering, often enthralling yawn.”

The reviews didn’t seem to faze the couple as they stepped out of the event with beaming smiles and elegant waves for admirers.

Harrison looked sun-kissed as he emerged with his wife of 13, who was dressed in a pretty floral dress with sky-high heels.

Harrison is joined on screen by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who also co-wrote the film, while the rest of the cast includes Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore and Mads Mikkelsen.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny, which has a budget of 0 million, is scheduled to hit theaters in the US on June 30, but it doesn’t seem to hold much excitement.

Some of the more cutting reviews include The Telegraph’s two-star stance on the film, reading: ‘It ultimately feels like a forgery of a priceless treasure: its form and gloss may be a little superficially convincing, but its shabbier workmanship becomes the brighter the longer you look.’

With an additional two stars, The Times reviewer wrote, “A meandering, often exhilarating yawn, this fifth and most expensive Indy outing to date (approximately $300 million) is a curious demonstration of how a Hollywood studio spends nearly a third of lay off a billion people. gives money to late 20th century nostalgia and so misunderstands it.”

Robbie Collin, the chief film critic at The Daily Telegraph since 2011, was more blunt in his review, writing: “Oh God, sorry y’all, it’s just a bit lifeless and rubbish.”

Collin added to his review in a Rotten Tomatoes Editorialto write: “Ultimately it feels like a counterfeit of a priceless treasure: its shape and sheen may be equally superficially convincing, but its shabbier workmanship becomes all the more striking the longer you look.”

Set in 1969, against the backdrop of the Space Race, Dr. Jones, renowned archaeologist and adventurer, is concerned about the US government’s recruitment of former Nazis to defeat the Soviet Union in the battle for space reach.

For this go-around, Indy’s goddaughter, Helena Shaw (Waller-Bridge), accompanies him on his new journey, while Jürgen Voller (Mikkelsen), a NASA member and ex-Nazi involved in the moon landing program, takes the world to a better place as he sees it. deems necessary.

The franchising started more than 43 years ago with Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981).

Directed by Stephen Spielberg from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan, and based on a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman, Raiders was a huge hit with fans, grossing $389.9 million on a $20 million budget.

The Temple of Doom (1984) served as the first sequel and again scored big at the box office, grossing $333.1 million against a budget of $28.17 million.

It would be five years before The Last Crusade (1989) shut down, and the fans responded by surpassing the previous two versions to earn $474.2 million on a $48 million budget.

It took more than 19 years for the fourth part, The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull (2008), to premiere in theaters.

It slaughtered all three episodes at the box office, grossing a whopping $790.7 million on a budget that rose to $185 million.

Indiana Jones movies are about fantasy and mystery, but they’re also about the heart. “We have a great story to tell, as well as a movie that will give you a thrill,” he said after the screening.
