Indiana Jones lite continues, and the franchise now (already!) appears to have run out of ideas. They were always stealing from superior films, but now they're crossing genres to do so. Oh, and they dropped the part about the movies they use the plot of being better than this one. On the whole, this is the same level of quality as the first two, meaning mediocre. The storyline is fine, and with the formula firmly in place(long before the original of this trilogy came out, in fact), there are few surprises or twists. While there is something to it other than the adventure, it's entirely predictable. The acting is hit-and-miss. Katic(fans of her may want to watch this just for her) isn't half bad(and she certainly is hot), and Newhart gets to do his thing a little bit, for the tiny portion of this that he appears in. This isn't all that exciting, though some of the fighting and chasing is OK. The effects are decent at best, and their integration with the live-action footage is unimpressive. This takes place in New Orleans, and the music, fitting the environment, is enjoyable enough. The comic relief is irritating, and the humor in general is typically too silly to make you laugh. With that said, it is funny on occasion. There is mild violence and disturbing content in this. I recommend this to those who like the other two. 6/10
