Jack Hunter et le Trésor perdu d'Ugarit

So it isn't Indiana Jones. It's entertaining enough and I don't have to put up with the f this and f that and the political correctness that they want to foist on us constantly.

Totally derivative of Indiana Jones, but then, Indiana Jones is totally derivative of earlier films and radio programs. Taken on its own merit, the Jack Hunter series is a fun and adventurous romp. While that's pretty much it, that's more than mainstream media has been giving us for some time. The acting is passable. The writing is decent. The special effects are dated and sometimes cheesy, but again, passable. My favorite part of the films is the dichotomy between Jack and his nemesis, Albert Littman. The actors play well off of each other, and it provides a sense of tension and danger that has been sorely lacking in Hollywood films of late.

I watched this series last night, and I was actually surprised to find an adventure series with a rather engaging plot.Even though it had some flaws here and there which are rather difficult to pass, the story-line was interesting. They had some problems with the special effects in some part of the movie but mostly it was enjoyable. I was expecting some " American treasure hunter movie" and I was right, it has many clichés. The actors acted pretty well, still it could have been better... The story resembles "Indiana Jones" movies, and you would probably like this series if you are a fan of "treasure-hunter" movies... My vote is 8 out of 10, as it was a nice, relaxing movie.

Have seen all three in the series, very like Indiana Jones, but the sound on speech is very low, used Speaker Bar and just able to hear it with Subtitles.

This series certainly - and shamelessly - lifted the Raiders of the Lost Ark for base material, but it does give enough of a twist on events to make it legal, and somewhat serviceable.

I like this genre so I enjoyed watching it for entertainment's sake. Of course it has as much "cheese" in it as a Green Bay Creamery, and the dialogue is not Oscar material, but I watch documentaries if I want something deep.
