Better than Tomb Raider (what isn't?) but not a patch On Indiana Jones

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2002)

I enjoyed this action romp but found myself getting a little bored in the middle sections. There's simply too many set-piece action sequences that aren't quite grand enough to hit the spot, leaving me a little jaded. The beginning and ending sections are much better but still a little bland for my tastes. The effects are great, but then aren't they always in such cgi-tastic movies?
Here in the UK, the Indiana Jones trilogy was screened about a month previous, and with the memory of those still fresh in my mind (I hadn't seen them for a good while) this didn't match up in the action/comedy adventure category.
Still - it's worth a watch if you want something light. Just don't forget to leave your cynisism outside and you might even enjoy it a lot.
6.5/10
