Kevin Maher, from the paper Times, was more balanced. The critic wrote it Indiana Jones and the Relic of Destiny “Not as bad as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The bad news is, it doesn’t get much better.” However, he praised Harrison Ford’s charisma.

On the other hand, the critic of place of culture empireJohn Nugent praises continuation of franchise Indiana Jones sans Steven Spielberg, which is “exactly where fans expect it to be (franchise references).” It still underlines the sober tone of the film, unusual and different from other blockbusters.
Geoffrey Macnab, da The independenthighlighted precisely the aspects that distinguish it Indiana Jones and the Relic of Destiny like a “blockbuster”.
Despite being an expansive and very uneven film, The Relic of Destiny delivers exactly what you expect from an Indiana Jones adventure: chases, explosions and an epic fight sequence atop a moving train.
