The chemistry between the leads in this movie is terrific and it is every bit as good as any Indy or Mummy movie. Light years better then most of the drivel out there these days. This is just a fun movie with some great one liners and a terrific supporting cast as well. Sure it's implausible a time or two, what adventure/fantasy movie is not?, but it's got great pace and tells a big story quite well. There's even moments of political and social comment cloaked in humor. McCaunahey and Zahn do what they do best here and it shows. Yes, Cruz can be impossible to understand at times but she is not baggage and gets well into the fray. William Macy as usual is terrific as are the villains. Just a darn good adventure romp.

I really tried to give this thing a chance. Unfortunately, whether I'm the target demographic or not, I walked out after an hour and half. Clearly trying to lift from Star Wars and Aliens, the only thing they loaded this thing with was fluff and effects, forgetting to put in the heart and soul of the ones they were trying to emulate. Too much of the script did not make sense, the dialogue was inane and star performances one note. Jackie Chan does better stunts and fight scenes. Not even a good popcorn movie.....
