Over-the-top adventure.

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 1999)

If you are looking for mindless entertainment, this is the film for you. While not as intellectually stimulating as the 1932 version, this remake sure delivers the action. It plays like a poor man's Raiders of the Lost Ark. The tongue-in-cheek adventures go a bit too far at times. It was obviously designed for the younger demographic. Still, it hits its mark as non stop action. Its a shame the filmmakers didn't put a bit more intelligence into the script. This is another example of narrative sacrificed for the sake of special effects.
