Summary - Bad 1.0 click to collapse contents 

My overall feeling after watching this movie was, “Really? That’s just too bad.” I’ll be honest in that I was expecting to dislike this movie. What I was expecting to dislike and what I actually disliked, though, was two different things. I didn’t think Harrison Ford could pull it off. Much as I love the guy, I don’t think of him as a great actor. All his characters are variations of the same guy. Overall, I love that guy, but it is pretty much the same. We love Indiana but how different is the character from Han Solo? Not very. But I thought Harrison actually pulled it off. He’s an old dude, but he did it. I thought I would like Cate and Shia. Didn’t. Hated them. Good actors wasted. And the story was terrible. It felt more like a bad – well worse – sequel to the Mummy than it did an Indy movie. So it ended up being a tragedy not an action film for me. They had a great cast, Harrison can still pull it off, but it just fell flat on its face and leaves you hanging your head.
