THE GOOD Surprisingly fun old-school adventure movie in the line of Romancing the Stone or Indiana Jones. Good performances by Radcliffe and Tatum, especially. Interesting location / treasure (although not really fleshed out) and characters.
THE BAD Sandra Bullock's face looks like she's had surgery and it's not okay. Cher, anyone? Killed the immersion for me and made it absolutely unbeliebable that a young dude like Tatum would fall in love with her. In general, the love story between the protagonists was the weak part of the movie and completely unnecessary. Letting them become good friends would have been wholesome and a nice change - this ending is an unbelievable version of what we've seen in Hollywood movies for 80 years now. Also, some of the locations (the tomb surroundings, the beach at the end) had way too much CGI.
THE UGLY Come to think of it, the nude scene Tatum had to go through for the laughs seems like something from another era. Imagine James Bond staring at the naked butt and vagina of a woman for several minutes, making funny remarks. Feminists would BURN THE CITY DOWN. But oh well. It's just a guy.
OVERALL This review might not sound like it, but I enjoyed the movie a lot. Watch it with some friends and popcorn.
