It just didn't live up to expectations. I thought it was going to be a treasure hunt movie, it wasn't. It started out with Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn looking for a battleship that was lost during the Civil War, but ended up with them going on an adventure to save the world from getting water poisoned. Oh, and Penelope Cruz is involved too. Her acting is just so bad... "Oh, DAAAMN-IT, my bag." in her super slow accented English was just too much for me to bear.
Dialogs are cheesy, nothing was believable, the villains had no bite, the good guys never get hurt no matter how dangerous the situation is, and everything that needs to happen just conveniently happened. OK, so all popcorn movies are like that, but this one is worse. The storyline was just not strong enough to draw me in; I was bored out of my mind half way through the film.
I wish I would've gone to watch "Fever Pitch" instead. :P
