I found this film both enjoyable and Funny..when I saw it as a Kid...But i had a few complaints
The first is....I found it was too childish (probably at Steven spielbergs insistence)......When I first saw it, I was 13...and even then I couldn't get into it....I expected a more Indiana jones like film...Or one with more mystery and swashbuckle....But obviously the filmmakers didnt want to upset the kiddies...so everything is toned right dooownnnnnn. Even the car chase scene at the start which I hoped was gonna be exciting...was played simply for laughs and nothing else. The kids are likable enough...But only Feldman seems to Really deliver.
My other Complaint was Sean Astin...I got nothing against him as an Actor....Its Just his Character..... His Character is so weepy and sentimental and goodie two shoes, that he got on my nerves after a while...When he lectures the others about continuing to find the Gold...or Crying to his dad about how he felt they had Failed....All Im thinking is...SHUT UP sean, I dont give a damn, Spare me.
I liked Robert davi and joe pantiolo as the baddies...they bring something to the Film... This Film does bring back a few Memories...But from Now on mr speilberg...Aim above kiddies level please...We adults like to enjoy the film too
I give it 6 out of 10
