Yeah. that's with many of these.
A hommage here and there is nice, but some movies just feel like a remized Frankenstein best-of and feels so artificial.
Yup, and at that point, you may as well just re-watch the originals.
On the positive side of things, Dial of Destiny at least kept the memberberries to a minimum and felt like a genuine new Indy adventure, not a remake of a previous movie. Even so individual aspects are sometimes pretty heavily inspired by what came before, it has enough new stuff to stand on its own (unlike say StarWars sequels that didn't have a single new memorable location or spaceship).
