Indiana Jones is one of the greatest characters in the history of cinema.
IJ DoD is just a very sad way to part with this beloved icon.
Five main issues here 1. Indiana Jokes has become an old and sad man that had lost the energy and optimism that he had in his entire life 2. The movie is clearly made to position Helena as the next generation but she lacks the gravitas, moral compass and character arc that would enable anything close to that 3. The villains are « meh » at best. How come you couldn't write something better for someone as talented as Mads Mikkelsen probably show the lack of drive in the writing room 4. The film is way too long. You could have cut 30min and still make it 5. Overall the film lacks charm and cohesiveness, the characters have no chemistry with each other, and it feels like a chore instead of a joy.
Crystal Skull felt like an Indiana jones movie even if it was the weakest of the série. DoD is just very weak and a very sad departure of a beloved character.

Three great casting choices : Tom Sturridge, Jenna Coleman and the always fantastic Charles Dance
The rest of the cast feels forced very often (Patton Oswald excepted) and does not give justice to what remains one of the best novels / comics written (Gaiman genius shines here).
The conflation of John and Johanna Constantine makes sense but why changing the rest of the characters from the book?
