Cheesy escapist fun. Very cheesy, very escapist, not that much fun.

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2017)

This film is a product of its time and some of the things are very advanced (for its time), so I can't give it a very low score. A lot of the things are very well done, better than some movies in this day and age.
Having said that, the story isn't that much interesting. It's just a series of events, action after action, hiding then running, chasing then being chased, fighting then escaping, just random stuff.
The action is fun, but it gets boring after a while. The theme song repeating 12+ times in the span of two hours is pushing it. I had often wondered why the song was so memorable and how so many people remembered it. It is catchy, but the fact that it loops makes it stick in your head.
I don't understand the target demographic for this. There are murders, a man's head getting blendered by a propeller, people being burned alive and other things that is not really appropriate for children, yet this film has a PG rating. It's too childish for adults but too scary/gory for children.
The first scene (the idol) is also forgotten very quickly. He tries to get an idol from the jungle, it gets stolen, and that's about it.
Parents of young children, watch out, there are graphic deaths in this film. Adults, watch out, this is a very childish film that gets boring and repetitive after a while.
