I really liked this one, but then again I love Paul Bettany and have done since I saw him in "A Knight's Tale", and I love Harrison Ford, so what's not to like about the movie?

This is the kind of movie I would like a lot but have to go to alone, as my spouse is a computer guy and can't seem to suspend belief enough to not tell me exactly why that particular hack couldn't work in real life!

I just can't see Indiana Jones as a computer guy. Never in a million years would I buy that. Someone like Kurt Russell or Kevin Bacon may have been more beliveable. I don't think Harrison Ford has made a decent movie since "The Fugitive".

I have not seen this particular movie. I would have to agree though I have not cared for Harrison Fords most recent movies.

Did you watch him in Mosquito Coast? That was totally against type. He played a mad scientist kind of guy who dispises modern life and decides to move his family to some tropical place and to live in peace and harmony with nature. Only thing is, he ends up creating a place almost exactly like he left behind. A series of events pushes him over the edge and he drags his family into his mad delusions.

Yeah, I liked that movie. But that was back in the early 80's when Ford still showed some personality in his roles. He's too wimpy now. I'm really hoping that he gets back to his old self in the new Indiana Jones movie next year.
