Charming
5 December 2004
It's an interesting premise that there is a place that houses "mythical" items. Beyond that, it was just sort of amusing if you don't take it too seriously. To summarize: Rip offs of Indiana Jones everywhere, clichés every time a character opened their mouth, just awful fight scenes, and we need to come up with another word for predictable. In spite of all of this, the movie is oddly charming.

Nothing wrong with the acting though. Noah Wyle (which is why I watched this movie at all) was fantastic. You could tell he was really into the role and that made the whole experience worth it. Sonya Walger and Kelly Hu were both great as well. Plus the thrilling Jane Curtis and Bob Newhart roles.

I'd watch a sequel... (hint hint TNT).
