As ringing endorsements go, this is the chimes of Big Ben peeling out across the city as Steven Spielberg lets the world know that not only has he seen Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but he likes it – he really likes it.

“I just had that experience two nights ago. Bob Iger had a screening for a lot of the Disney executives, and I came to the screening along with the director James Mangold. Everybody loved the movie. It’s really, really a good ‘Indiana Jones’ film. I’m really proud of what Jim has done with it.”

“When the lights came up I just turned to the group and said, ‘Damn! I thought I was the only one who knew how to make one of these.”

With Spielberg on Executive Producer duties along with George Lucas – has the Maker seen the film yet, we need to know! – it would appear that mangold has managed to find that illusive magic that Indy needs to bring us a whip-cracking adventure.
