I was thinking this as well. Action adventure films like it were what got me into filmmaking, yet even I have less than no desire to see it.
It’s actually pretty incredible how badly they missed the mark; the trailer just needed open up with Harrison Ford in costume saying something like “why is it always snakes?” followed immediately by the theme blasting up over an action montage. Instead, they chose to show a group of old men talking seriously in a bar, while some utterly stock sounding music underscores it. What were they thinking?
That’s good to hear at least! I’ve heard mixed things from different people, but it just doesn’t strike me as something I want to invest three hours into. I’m glad you enjoyed it though!

I don’t know about the marketing, but the movie itself was pretty good.

Bugger me, it’s 3 hours?!
3 hours of Miyazaki on the other hand, now that would be intriguing.
Even the last bit?
Especially the last bit. Most people I went with didn’t like the end, but that’s because they got lost. You can fault the ending for being too subtle.
