Weak Rehash Of The First Movie

Rating: 3/10 (24 August 2013)

Basically this is a remake of "Raiders Of The Lost Ark": Indiana Jones must beat the Nazis to obtaining the holy relic. The main differences are a lack of strong villains, and the inclusion of Indy's father in the story. Unfortunately Sean Connery and Harrison Ford are not convincing as father and son.
The original film was an exciting roller-coaster ride, a remake of 1930's- style exotic adventures. This is the same without the excitement, or any good characters. Even the sword fight which takes place here to make up for the lack of one in the original (because rumor has it that Harrison Ford was too ill at the time to perform it) is tired and unexciting, as is the rest of the movie.
The only good thing I can say about it is that it was better than the hideous "Temple Of Doom"-but that is a weak compliment indeed.
