Title: Don't expect Indiana Jones and it will be good
Review: I watched this movie for the first time after a friend told me it was just like Indiana Jones. With that in mind I watched and hated this movie. It took me several more attempts through the years to get that mentality out of my mind and watch this for what it is.This is more akin to Pirates of the Caribbean than it is to any Indian Jones movie. Where Indiana Jones is 90% archaeology and history and 10% Sci-Fi / Occult this is probably the exact reverse. The dialogue, though not great, is decent and funny at times. The protagonists are a motley bunch that stumble into success and find trouble easily. All in all it is a good film to watch.The basic story is that a historian/ librarian with her pocket picking brother and a wayward adventurer manage to unleash a curse that was put away 5000 years ago. Now it is a race against time and supernatural demons to save the Earth.
