I would be misled if I went by most of the comments on this movie. Perhaps, if you have inordinately high expectations because of the talent involved, you might be disappointed. However, I had no expectations and it turned out to be a pretty entertaining adventure movie. Most of the time, I get a good indication from the comments on this site. This time they are wrong. It is a fun movie and certainly better than the majority of trash that is out these days on DVD, i.e. the garbage that examines the depths of human depravity under an electron microscope with no saving grace. One example is the disgusting horror movies that seem to celebrate the evil in humanity while offering a template for any twisted mind on the fringe just waiting for some excuse to "try that". I don't know about the rest of you, but I go to the movies to be entertained and uplifted if possible. Most critics seems to think movies are for moral edification and as a vehicle for their idea of the "artistic" spirit. Yes, sometimes, but I have had enough of subtitles and Greek tragedies and political statements (almost always liberal). Give me some good old fashioned adventure with positive "heros", etc. (TV is getting better than the movies at this.) All in all, I still find IMDb.com very useful; just not this time.
