While Uncharted will never be a classic on par with Spielbergs original swashbuckling adventures, it does no dishonor to that tradition, and even manages to deliver a few unique thrills.

It's not that much of a movie, but a diversion. It's a big, dumb diversion; the best thing about it is that it serves as evidence that Tom Holland makes for a wonderful movie star.

It’s all mildly amusing, mildly exciting and entirely routine, just as you might expect from a director such as the reliably faceless Ruben Fleischer (Venom), who manages to go from one hit to the next without ever showing any particular talent.

The whole enterprise gives off a giddy vibe of banal safety-net fun that’s overwhelmingly underwhelming.
