Uncharted

Implausible but mostly fun. I’m a huge fan of the games. There’s an Uncharted movie somewhere in here that’s kind of outshined by the corporate made Sony movie unfortunately. Holland isn’t bad, but I didn’t buy him as Drake, and Wahlberg was wooden and miscast as hell. I didn’t care about anyone and the mystery was sort of boring if I’m being honest. The games are much more beautiful and cinematic. Fleischer knows how to make fun, humorous movies. That’s pretty much all this is. Great action.

You know what they perfectly captured Uncharted - this is a pretty fun rental. Marky Mark is an atrocious Sully but a fine Marky Mark character. It's like he just wandered onto set and they went with it.

Terrible as an Uncharted film, but if you can look past that little problem you get a pretty watchable adventure movie with Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Mark Wahlberg as someone who is also there.

There’s some fun fluidity to the stunt choreography and Holland is charming, but (obscure pun ahead) I was surprised they went to the Philippines instead of the Cayman Islands, because the writers clearly committed regicide to become the new Kings of Convenience: things illogically and unfailingly, ultimately comically, falling into place. It’s fun (naval combat in flying ships), but really stupid (naval combat in flying ships), and ultimately the poor writing is an anchor dragging it down.

Rather underwhelming culmination of what I swear was ten years of rumors, false starts, director musical chairs and development hell. Most of the treasure hunting and clue collecting is about on the cinematic Tomb Raider or National Treasure level at best. Action sequences either look like weightless CGI or are just dopey as hell, like Marky Mark supposedly struggling to fight a 110 lbs twentysomething girl dressed like a zoomer art school fashion show. There is a kitty though, so that's good.
