The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
I though this movie was great! Lots of moral character and just as good as the first movie! Amazing actors and a wonderful story-line! I'm now 18 years old and I still love it! It's great for any age and a lot better than most movies out today! I wish they would make a 3rd movie!! Love the Bible-based/God-like atmosphere to the movie! But yet everyone still has fun and it's goofy! :)
The gang of helpful, friendly kids take on a new mission. This time they are after a casch of lost gold which they need to save the home and property of a neighbor, Mr. Gaff. Unfortunately, an evil Spaniard and his henchmen also have their eye on the treasure and will stop at little to get it. Each group has a third of an ancient map detailing the location of the loot, and much effort is expended in finding the missing segment. Of course, the missing piece is found and the kids must deal with the greedy, fortune obsessed Spaniard. This is a good childrens' film: I thought it carried a good message and had a satisfying ending.
