Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
