An Underrated Classic

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2015)

When this film was released in 1999 people were skeptical in how this film was going to perform, especially when going up against Star Wars Episode 1. However to everyone's surprise it became a so called "surprise hit" that took theaters by storm or curses. In my opinion this is undeniably the most fun I've ever had in a film. This is because I knew it wasn't meant to be taken seriously like Indiana Jones with that said it is a blast that also throws you curves I didn't expect. It kept me guessing and intrigued. A film that does it's job very well with a mixture of horror and comedy and a sense of adventure that feels very Indiana Jones-ish. And the acting isn't too bad either but the best performances were from Rachel Weisz as Evelyn and Kevin J. O'Connor as Beni. This is a film you must see if you haven't already that's if you don't take it seriously, just sit back, relax and let your mouth be filled with popcorn and your eyes and mind as ease. Bravo to Stephen Sommers. Acting: B+ Music: A- Characters: A Story: C+ Special/Visual Effects: C Overall Grade: A-
