A TON of fun! Entertaining, humorous, thrilling...

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2004)

The rating (6.1 as of this writing) doesn't do this film justice. I've looked forward to this film ever since I heard it went into justice, and having just seen it I can say that the wait has been worth it. While it lacks any great depth in terms of soul-searching or otherwise meaningful issues, it IS an extremely entertaining film. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, has you laughing frequently, has a REALLY hot woman... it's just a ton of fun. Even my wife who thought it looked stupid really enjoyed it. It was about as good as an Action/Adventure gets. I personally liked it A lot better than the Indiana Jones movies, which I've never really understood why those particular films are so idolized. This film puts them to shame in terms of pacing, the thrill of the ride, the eye candy, everything. Great film. In my book a film that deserves a 6.1 is Tomb Raider (either of them), this film deserves far better. Most of the theater seemed to be enjoying it as much as I (and my wife and brother) were. See it, you'll definitely be entertained.
