Review by: Anupama Chopra - Film Companion
Watching it, I went back to the time I saw the first film and felt the giddy rush that thrilling entertainment delivers. This film needed so much more of that.

Review by: Peter Travers - Good Morning America
"Indy 5" never works up the narrative steam to hold us in thrall. Mangold can be a solid director, but he lacks Spielberg's genius for blending emotion with visuals built to wow. The wow factor in "Dial of Destiny" comes totally from Ford.

Review by: Namrata Joshi - Cinema Express
Ford is reliable and charismatic as ever. But in this case, the spirit of the film truly resides in the bright spark Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Beaming, sharp, quick-witted, perceptive, and badass to boot.

Review by: Peter Bradshaw - The Guardian
Yet the finale is wildly silly and entertaining, and that Dial of Destiny is put to an audacious use which makes light of the whole question of defying ageing and the gravitational pull of time. Indiana Jones still has a certain old-school class.

Review by: Johnny Oleksinski - New York Post
"Dial of Destiny” has wisps of that cherished legacy, but Mangold isn’t the visual humorist that Spielberg is and can’t summon true moments of magic. While Ford is scrappy and lovable as ever, Indy was never a role that should have been played for 41 years.

Review by: Michael Phillips - The Chicago Tribune
Many will enjoy the new film well enough, for the payoff of seeing Ford, the fedora, the bullwhip and the John Williams Raiders march theme one more time.

Review by: Mini Anthikad Chhibber - The Hindu
With the requisite running and jumping, the fedora and bull whip, time-travelling Nazis and eye-popping CGI, apart from the rousing signature Raiders’ theme, Indiana Jones’ probable last hurrah is a delightful exercise in unbridled excitement.

Review by: Richard Roeper - The Chicago Sun-Times
The main plot line is creaky, corny and contrived, and the final action twist lands the story in such disastrous, B-movie territory that not even Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones can rescue it from collapsing in a dusty heap of mediocrity.

Review by: Geoffrey Macnab - The Independent
Ford is the hero of the hour, playing even the flimsiest scenes with conviction and dry humour, in a film that feels like a mishmash of elements from the older movies.
