Campy comedy

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 1999)

People seem to either love or hate this movie. It is a decent summer flick, and saying that, you ought to know to leave your brains at the door and just enjoy it. No, it's not Indiana Jones, but I don't think it pretended to be. No, it isn't as creepy as Karloff's Mummy. Karloff's Mummy was, surprisingly, a sympathetic character. No, it's not historically accurate, but it doesn't pretend to be a history lesson. It is a comic book come to the screen. But I think it gives a broad nod and wink to those great (cheesey and otherwise) adventure/action flicks of the 30s and 40s.
