Silly entertainment

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 1999)

Why get serious over this movie? I finally saw this movie on DVD and I have to say that I was thoroughly entertained. The story-line was no better or worse, or less accurate than Raiders of the Lost Ark (one of my all-time favorites), and I thought the dialogue was very tongue-in-cheek. I rather compare this movie more towards "Army of Darkness," but less filling and over the top. In fact, I would have liked to have seen Bruce Campbell as Rick O'Connell rather than Brendan Fraser, although Fraser was fine in the role. Needless to say, this movie won't make the AFI's big list but it was no less entertaining.
