Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

healingtoolbox What's wonderful about this is the convincing dissolving of race barriers between black and white in Africa. It's appropriate to a story whose arc peaks with Albert Schweitzer.In the wake of a film like Selma, this episode may seem a bit tame and dated. For its time, 1999, it was as positive as any film on race relations I can think of. The other IMDb reviews here are useful--but only by fans, not by writers. Darabont and Tattersall's achievements shine most here. Sean Flanery remains consistently believable as young Indy.

Alain English Unlike previous instalments in the series, this one is not a distillation of two previously separate stories but is one whole complete story in and of itself. Here Indiana Jones (again played with consistent earnestness by Sean Patrick Flannery) is sent down the Congo river to retrieve a supply of weapons that may come in handy in the Allies war effort. Unfortunately, the intense heat and jungle disease take a terrible toll on Indy and his troops, before he receives help from an unexpected source...Whilst lacking the intrigue and action of it's immediate predecessors, this is still a brilliant story. The devastating effects of Indy's expedition are well-captured on screen, and the series throws in some thought-provoking dialogue on the real nature of the war. It really comes alive with the introduction of Albert Schweitzer (Friedrich von Thun), a legendary medical genius who saves Indy's life and then persuades him to revise his notions of good and evil...Thought-provoking and very well-written.

Shawn Watson Clocking in at 13 words this Young Indy adventure surely has one of the longest titles I have ever encountered.Indy and Remy are still in Africa, and thanks to Indy's brazen attitude in the battlefield he's promoted to Captain before being given an important mission where he must secure delivery of a cache of machine guns. In order to do this he and his men must march through the Congo, where all but a couple of them die of jungle disease. After a middle segment that echoes the African Queen in more ways than one they are rescued by Doctor Albert Schweitzer.But the Doctor is German, and is soon kicked out of Africa despite all of the good work he has done.OtGaToL (how about that for an acronym?) is all about Melodrama and features very little action. Once the opening battle is over it's all talk, talk and talk all the way to the end. If I wanted a soap opera I'd watch Days of Our Lives.

videojakob Actually, it isnt bad. Its just not Indiana Jones. For some reason when I saw the video, it lacked the touch of the movies. But it is okay if you really want to see an Indy movie, but know the old ones by heart. Just remember: it is a boiled down affair.
