Good at the time

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2003)

Well, when I was young I thought this film was the bees knees, but now I'm older and wiser and I can see it's just quite good. Harrison Ford & Sean Connery are great actors with tons of charisma, but the story is rather weak and shallow. The production values are very good, as you would expect with Spielberg behind the camera, but it's just a Hollywood adventure story. Give me Michelle Yeoh in Magnificent Warriors instead any time.
The frivolity of the film is summed up in the amazingly anticlimactic ending. **SPOILER** Can you imagine how p*ssed off you'd be if you'd been guarding some holy artefact for 700 years, and the first American that comes along loses it after 5 minutes :p **END SPOILER**
