Indiana Jones with one interesting character

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2004)

This is a Saturday afternoon popcorn flick at best. Another one of the mediocre movies of 2004. An unimaginative version of the last Indiana Jones movie without a single memorable character. There were a few good lines but so many cheesy ones that the poor good ones are easily forgotten. A movie filled with plot wholes, inept villains and FBI agents. A really predictable and unsatisfying ending. In fact (my spoiler is next) I think it would have been so much better if they hadn't found any gold or monetary treasure just more history like in the Indiana Jones movies. What's treasure to an historian is information about the past, not fast car and big houses. Even the Mummy movies knew that.
