Watched this for the first time 2 months ago. So much damn fun. The action was great and the characters were loony. A good loony. Does it get ridic? Yes. But thanks to the films overall fun spirit and near self-awareness, it never goes of the rails. Its like watching a less series version of Uncharted as a movie. Good way to pass a couple hours.

I honestly enjoy this movie more than raiders of the lost ark. I'll concede that Raiders is the better made movie, but this one is just so much fun. This is the type of movie(along with predator) that sounds really dumb on paper and really should not have worked. But the cast is excellent and they are largely what makes this work. Seriously Brendan Fraser is amazing in this and plays the hero part perfectly. Rachel Weisz is obviously very good looking but she also has decent amount of depth. John Hannah and the guy who played benny make for great comic relief and finally Arnold Vosloo is excellent as the villain. 

 

Blockbusters like this are in short supply these days, it combines great action, comedy and horror. Sure it is a little cheesy at parts but it's just such a joy to watch that it is easily forgiven. 

This is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies.
