Just to clear this up, I wasn't saying that it wasn't a good movie. It had a lot of good points. But compared to the wealth of other great films by him?

I think I have to disagree with most of the voices here. I thought this movie started off really slow and then got better toward the end. Most of the dialogue was... bad, but once they got to the lost city, when Sofia and John were looking for the other guy, it had a real spooky feel, like anything could happen. And I would say that those scenes certainly did feel Indiana Jones-ish, at least to me. As for the rapid degeneration of the one character into madness, he thought that what happened to his father was going to happen to him. And eventually it did.
But I just couldn't buy into Sofia's character. It seemed too forced. And why are a lot of the women in movies prostitutes who are trying to reform?
Boy some of those last scenes in the desert made me thirsty!
