Some think that it's a fun movie because it's so ridiculous, sadly I can't share that feeling. Comparisons to Indiana Jones are out of place; a much better movie to measure it against is "Romancing the Stone", and it loses every single point. The main problem is not the cheap stock footage, nor the ridiculous script (that could basically work as a comedy), nor the silly sets and costumes - the main problem is the atrocious acting. A comedy needs actors and a director with good timing; it doesn't get funnier with bad acting but boring.This would really only get 1/10 from me if it weren't for Sharon Stone's legs which get more and more exposed throughout the story. I can't find any fault with those legs, so 2/10.
