Way over-rated

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2002)

I read before seeing this movie that it was the next Indiana Jones so I was really excited. Lets face it Speilberg has done some great work with Close Encounters, ET, Indiana Jones series, ect, and this they said was as good as his best. I was very disappointed. It was not at all action the whole way through. There was one action scene where I was like "THis is Awesome" but apart from that it meandered on and on, especially at the end. It was very much like AI - you thought it was going to end but it dragged on for 20 more minutes. At least Indiana Jones relied on simple good story telling instead of a totally convuluted plot. However the special effects were good and the future looks kinda cool. Some parts of the movie were neat, neat ideas, but it was hard to follow, or maybe I was getting bored. This movie gets 1 star for being able to dupe me into believeing it was going to be a great film, and it wasnt.
