Let's reassess this film shall we? Rather than thinking of it in the vein of Indiana Jones, let's see it for what it really was... The genesis of the 'Uncharted' video game series. And to anyone who just watched that film with a pleasant Tom Holland and a limp Mark Wahlberg, then you need to watch this instead. This is the closest you'll get to a true "Nathan Drake" if it took 15 years to bring Uncharted to our screens. Little did we know that the best Uncharted film had been made 2 years before the game. Practical effects, a swashbuckling soundtrack, humour, locations... It has them all. The plot could be a little tighter and Penelope Cruz's accent could be a little less one-dimensional but they're by the by... This film deserves reappraising. 7.5/10

Now this is your typical I-don't-have-anything-better-to-do-tonight-so-let's-just-watch-this movie. Everything about it is average: the story, the acting, the music etc. It does have a feelgood vibe about it, with suntanned people running around on yachts and beaches, so it makes for some decent entertainment.

Sadly, there are always alleged _movie fans_ who don't objectively evaluate good entertainment because they think they have to perpetuate an image-statement here... how stupid! The movie is neither a continuation of _The Mummy_ nor an imitation of _James Bond_ ! After the prequel, it has 2/3 continuous suspense, fun and a surprising twist! The actors are well known and contribute to a good overall score and nice entertainment... recommended `[7/10]` :thumbsup_tone1:

This is fun, and so underrated

On the surface, it looks like this film has the potential to be the next fun action adventure, like the Mummy. Unfortunately, it is hard to make poverty and plague sexy and fun. I'm sure the book was a fun read.
