Some clever bits but really bad overall

Rating: 4/10 (1 March 2006)

I always wondered why the library would have several copies on Friday evening. Yes, it's pretty bad: disjointed plot, hammy acting, over-the-top character bonding in every movie category: male-male, male-female, badguy-henchman, monster-heroine, heroes-camels.
This should probably be a 2 but there are a couple of decent effects and there's some good acting. John Hannah & Rachel Weisz are good. Hannah is awesome actually, one of the highlights of the film. Brendan Fraser tries way to hard to be Indiana Jones. The beetles do a nice job - some of the same effects as Lion King.
If you have nothing better to do and you have the fast-forward button handy, it's worth a go.
