I remember this

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2006)

First let me say I thought the movie was great. In fact I thought it was better than the first movie. I thought the film was able to walk the thin line between super action/adventure and comedy without going overboard (pardon the pun.) I did however in the middle of the movie forget that I was not watching Indiana Jones as big round objects seemed to always be rolling down hills, but at the end of the movie when they left us with an open door to the next installments I thought....haven't I been thru that door already? Wasn't there another set of movies that had the second installment end on bleak circumstances just like this? A movie that had a group of friends including a young adventurous man with an absent father who left for dark adventures...a young female love interest that sheds her formal upbringing to show a tough independent woman....and they are apparently headed to save their friend who has been captured and practically dead. Now Captain Jack is not frozen like Captain Solo (oops there is another similarity) but he is in need of saving and it is not sure what state he is in. If you think those are not enough coincidences here is one more...or maybe I should say 2 more. The 2 companions that seem to always be bumbling along with the stories to provide comic relief one of them short and round and the other tall and skinny....in fact the tall skinny pirate that is like C3PO even falls apart (eye popping out) like C3PO found him self often not fully assembled. I know these guys use swords and not light sabers,but did anyone else notice the copied formula?
