Well in terms of action, pace and creative following obscure clues to some ancient treasure, yes I would have to agree. I do very much enjoy both and I have the original 3 IJ movies and the first NT one so far. I do think Harrison's character is a lot tougher than Nick's. Overall I think Sahara is a better match to IJ than the NT series. I am a big "Dirk Pitt" fan and I thought Matthew was a very great choice for Pitt. I was looking forward to a movies series but I think Cussler's squabbling (and law suit) with the studio has just about killed that idea, at least with Matthew McConaughey. I think that is a real pity; if Cussler really cared for his fans, he would find a compromise that worked but that doesn’t seem likely, sadly.
) I thought the Red Scare and McCarthyism was a great setting but they had no clue what DoomTown was or anything like that- just went over their heads- very very unfortunately.
I have always like Russel although he has starred in some really bizzare movies from time to time. I think he could pull off a role like that well enough.
I don't disagree. For me, the ranking in order of preference would be the first, the third, the second and then the fourth. It was still fun though.
. She had to have the lego motorcycyle set from Last Crusade and the Truck set from Raiders. She has been reenacting the scene where the dude gets run over after falling off the grill of the truck, along with the whole motorcycle jousting thing from LC. I've got to stop letting her play with my soldiers.
