Thoughts

This started out great. A mismatched buddy comedy combined with elements of Indiana Jones and the Da Vinci Code. Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg bounced off each other well, at first prickly, gradually warming up to each other. It was fun and entertaining and then… then they found the boats. After that it was absolute insanity. You could suspend your disbelief for everything preceding it, even the Papa Johns, but once the boats started flying, it was absolute nonsense and really just annoying. I still enjoyed watching it and am interested if they are, indeed, making a sequel, but do think they could have done better.
