Jack Hunter and the Lost Treasure of Ugarit (2008)
Indiana Jones and the predicable rip-off
Aren't all heroes named "Jack?" Yep, this one is too ... and it goes downhill from there.
Score:
2 .... plot development
1 .... character development
6 .... Indiana Jones character rip-off
8 .... Location set up shot (some of the visuals are nice)
You don't care about these characters and their back stories, because they are not introduced with any skillfully written narrative. They are one dimensional, predictable and completely unsympathetic.
The modern time period lacks the charm and danger of the 30s and impending world conflict. But somehow, when "Jack" heads out to go on his mission, he is suddenly adorned in the Indiana Jones uniform of the 1930s era.
Seriously? Can't these rip-offs at least have better writing if they are created by people who you assume went into the craft to use their creativity?
