Captivating piece of adventure cinema

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2003)

Most great films happen by accident, at least that's the way it used to be. Films like this just don't happen anymore, simply due to the overhyping world of marketing and what-not. But even to this day, the film still resonates with cool action sequences that were well ahead of its time. Adventure never looked so fun and realistic when comparing this film to the many action films that have come out since. To this day, the fact this film made 250 million seems downright unbelievable, and they didn't have the benefit of overpriced movie tickets and overwhelming hype machines. Definitely one of the coolest film series ever.
