Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Alain English This episode sees the end of the First World War, with Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) and his friend Remy (Ronny Coutteure) dispatched to the trenches one last time. As the whistle is blown and the fighting stops, they retrieve a map from a dying soldier that indicates the way to a prized diamond that once belonged to Alexander the Great. Indy and Remy set off to find the diamond, but find their quest has unexpected consequences for their friendship...After the delightful ghoulishness that pervaded the latter part of "Masks of Evil", it is good fun to see Indy on an old-fashioned adventure again, pursuing a mystical object. There is lovely foreshadowing of the movies here - the use of the red-line-on-the-map to indicate their journey, and even the score sounds similar in places to the films. Along the way they encounter a debonair antagonist, a treacherous damsel, pirates and some wild natives of New Guinea. All this is staged terrifically, although the pace drags a little bit sometimes.This was to be a curtain call of sorts for Ronny Coutteure's Remy, and it is a little sad to see his departure. In spite of the lumbering comic material forced on him at times, Coutteure was still a lively foil for Flanery and the ending where they go their separate ways is quite touching. The only other actor of note is Tom Courtenay, who gives a relaxed and considered interpretation of Bronislaw Malinowski, an anthropologist who lives among the natives.Another good adventure, but the last of it's kind in the series.

freakfire-1 For a film that was low budget and lacking on adventure, it did get by, but just barely. This film was aimed at the truly hardcore Indiana Jones fan. Harrison Ford could not be brought on due to his cost, so this had to suffice.The acting was rather weak, although it was not painful, to watch. Filled with short conversations and glimpses into the Younger version of Jones, we watch Jones as he goes looking for the Peacock's Eye. After globe-trotting and finding different things, Jones ends his adventure.Jones fails to find the eye near the end, but instead gets another clue about its whereabouts. It comes off as a mini-series, where you have to watch the next film to find out what happens.Overall, its a sub-par film with run-of-the-mill acting. But, what did you expect? "C-"

kermitthefrog594 Treasure of the Peacock's Eye, Chapter 17 of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, is the type of adventure that made Raiders of the Lost Ark so popular. Even the titles are similar! The story follows young Indy, about twenty (and played rather well by Sean Patrick Flannery), in 1919. The war is over, but Indy and friend Remy discover a treasure map on the battlefield. The map will lead to the Eye of the Peacock - Alexander the Great's fabled diamond.Also after the diamond is an eye-patched villain, a seductive femme fatale who sees Indy as her prince, and a band of ruthless pirates. It boasts inventive action sequences - for a made-for-TV movie - including a battle with a pirate ship.The ending, however, is a minor letdown. The question on whether the Eye of the Peacock is discovered or not resolved, but many believe it was featured in the opening of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.A good time!

K N Considering that this is a made-for-TV movie, I have to give it an 8 out of 10. Great acting, good plot, exciting actions and fun to watch. If you like Indiana Jones or Sean Patrick Flanery, you've gotta see this!
