A hilariously clever/meta setup for an Indiana Jones-esque adventure story that I enjoyed more than the most recent blockbuster that attempted a more straight forward take on the genre (looking at you Uncharted). Combine the great premise with the comedic chops of Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, and you've got a recipe for success. Beyond the two stars, Brad Pitt's role was also a hilarious surprise and Daniel Radcliffe has a lot of fun as the villain. Now, all of that said, the movie is far from a masterpiece. The actual archeological adventure side of things is token at best, and the entire final act fell flat for me. Additionally, the humor doesn't all land, leaning on juvenile elements more often than I would like.
