I loved it once I got past Kate Capshaw. Maybe Speilberg realized she was his

I thought the movie was very true to the pulp feel. Most of the stars of that
era's fiction also seemed a little lost. I am not saying Zane was cognizant
of that, more that his cluelessness was serendipitous(sp?). I just thought
this movie really worked and as a Lego set I would definitely buy it. Horses,
Biplanes, pirates, submarines, etc. what doesn't it have?
