poor substitute for Indy — 17 weeks ago
The treasure hunting would’ve made for an exciting movie if it weren’t sullied by a half-baked patriotism angle and that undeveloped “proving my ancestor’s honor” tangent. Nic Cage makes for a poor Indiana Jones substitute. Granted, Indy’s professor by day / adventurer by night was well thought out and properly executed – in the first three movies anyway – but Nic Cage lacks Harrison Ford’s depth and charisma. And without its lead actor to anchor them, the rest of the cast resort to hamming it up every chance they get. Voight and Mirren are wasted in this flick. If what you’re looking for is adventure treasure action, Indiana Jones is your man. Go rent the trilogy, and nevermind this one.
