Did he say it in the movie? If not, who cares?
I haven't even seen it yet.
The theatre near me is full for almost every showing.
False
Germans are white, so it's OK.
I don't trust the accuracy of any movie "based on a true story." This movie is no different.
The OP asked if it's a good movie, not if it's a good depiction of real events.
Either way the film's plot has nothing to do with it.
It's totally not about that
It really isn't.
Check it out and see. It will likely be free to stream in a few months.
Except its not....
Sound of Freedom had a sensible budget with a creative, effective, and economically sound marketing strategy.
DOD had a bloated budget and ridiculously expensive marketing, almost guaranteeing a flop.
She's fine. Not everyone can match ScarJo, but Florence isn't fat or ugly at all.
I don't think they all hate it. Most who take the time to watch it will probably rate it fairly, as many Youtubers have.
The thing is, it's been conflated with the QAnon thing by people on both sides. This only gives the movie more publicity so no harm there.
I'd say it's accurate but incomplete. It leaves out the bit where Indy saves Helena and Teddy.
Lol
Yeah. The real issue was thinking dropping $300 million into a dormant franchise was a good idea.

If the games are canon, he finds it a year later (from the opening of DOD). Basically, it ends up with the US government like the Ark.
It's a similar setup, but done better.
First, Helena is a flawed, selfish character. Indy is older and depressed, but he goes on the adventure with her to reclaim an artifact that meant a lot to his old friend.
His willingness to sacrifice himself to save Helena helps her arc to basically not be such a shithead. She, in turn, helps Indy to realize how much his friends and remaining family still care about him.
The older/depressed Indy may be a hard pill to swallow if you're a fan of the happy ending of KOTCS. But this movie doesn't do to Indy what TLJ did to Luke.
What's infuriating about TLJ is Luke has the Force, can wield it effectively, and chooses not to. Indy is older, can't fight as well as he used to, but he does it anyway.
