Uh, yeah. It’s a disappointment. Most of the things that drove me crazy you didn’t even mention. The opening font was all wrong, which set the tone. Blanchett looked like Natasha missing Boris. The most notable beef I have is the magnetic thing. What’s the deal there? There’s a magnet so powerful that it can suck gunpowder from across a warehouse, but not anything else metal in the room? Why weren’t the guns flying across the room, the belt buckles off the men, hell, even the lock on the box the magnet was in? And then later it attracts gold, which isn’t even magnetic. It’s never explained why the thing is sort of magnetized or what it attracts exactly. Arrgh!

It insults the intelligence of its audience so many times. I can forgive it the big stuff, like explaining to the youngsters that these people are communist, but what about all the cobwebs covering an area that had just been recently traveled?

The chase scenes were awesome though. I loved the motorcycle chase. The snake scene was funny. It had its moments, unfortunately most of them were dumb.

Welcome back to short-form blogging, btw.
