Fountain of Youth

It's a hodgepodge of all the treasure hunting movies of yesteryears. The chemistry between Portman and Krasinski is non-existent. All in all, it was pretty painful to watch, I lost interest half way through.

Fountain of youth is those myth and bedtime storis that you heard for long time but once you watch it, you rather let it remains within your imagination. The location absolutely makes no sense at all.

The dialogue was trying so hard to be clever it was distracting and annoying. I didn't believe Krasinski and Portman were brother and sister any more than I believed there was actually a fountain of youth. Krasinski's recurring dream would have been the most tired part of the story but for Portman's repeated and weak disinterest in joining the quest. Apparently, the only thing preventing a madman from taking over the world is simply turning off the fountain with a big key. What?! This movie (and myself) get dummer the more I think about it. What made it all worse was the fact that it was gorgeously filmed at interesting locations with a pretty good cast. The ultimate example of how you can't save a terrible script, no matter what.

Tinha tudo pra dar certo, só que não deu.

Fountain of Youth has all the trappings of a thrilling adventure — stunning visuals, a capable cast, and a globe-trotting premise — but it never manages to rise above its underwhelming script. The film struggles with pacing, lacks emotional stakes, and leans too heavily on aesthetic over substance. Despite the talent involved, it ultimately feels flat and forgettable, missing the charm and energy that make this genre shine.

Man I love Guy Ritchie but bro, work on something like Rocknrolla 2 or another season of Mobland, don’t keep getting sucked into these drivel stream movies. As someone who appreciates Apple TV for the most part (I liked the Gorge and Wolfs was great) but this movie fell short of its mark. It was a seemingly pasted together plot taken from other movies, thrown together, mixed with some actors known for their talent and then dumped out. It wasn’t a complete waste of time, it’s something to watch in the background or if you run out of things to watch. But I’m a huge treasure hunter movie fan, for the potential they could have had, this movie falls short of its mark. Cringey jokes and one good action scene towards the end with little or no explanation of story really just drives it into the ground but some of John’s acting and cool historic places (the shipwreck was an amazingly done set) I’d say 2 stars is perfect. I like Guy Harvey and it was a straight to stream (don’t expect a national treasure or Indiana Jones, those are theater movies). Now about rocknrolla 2…

I was excited to watch this movie after seeing the previews, but was so disappointed. It Had such potential to be a great action movie like national treasure, but really fell flat. The comedy wasn’t even funny and felt forced At times, it was so slow and boring. Felt like they gave away the ending too early in the movie. So predictable. Natalie Portman was not the right cast for her role.

sure it's cliche and almost predictable but as someone who grew up playing games like uncharted and tomb raider it was nostalgic in some ways and was a satisfying watch.

Don’t assume your audience is stupid. The over the top action stunts and mediocre character development just couldn’t hold my attention. And I really wanted to love this Indiana Jones knock-off, but just can’t.
