Fairly Entertaining in a Campy, Goofy Way

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2005)

This is a fairly entertaining film that seems geared toward giving a fun time and some laughs. It does a pretty good job at creating a campy, goofy adventure tale similar in some ways to Indiana Jones, but it's less serious and more lame. I found it somewhat fun to watch, but at the same time, it just barely stays out of the realm of complete boredom, venturing every once and a while to the very edge of that precipice without quite tumbling in. Thus, it basically does the job, but it's not really that funny, is usually too silly to be really fun, and is hardly the best Brendan Fraser movie. Seeing it once was fine, but I would not bother watching it again.
