Uncharted reviews praise Tom Holland’s ‘charm’, critics call the film ‘lively but thinly scripted

Uncharted is set to release in India on February 18.

The first reviews of the Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg starrer Uncharted are in, and so far, it seems the video-game film is better than most movies in its genre, but isn’t really the next spectacle for Holland after Spider-Man: No Way Home. Based on the video game series of the same name, Uncharted (the movie) is an origin story for Drake (Holland) and Sully (Wahlberg) as they enter an Indian Jones-esque world.

Variety’s Owen Gleiberman described it as “Raiders of the Lost National Treasure of the Fast & Furious Caribbean.” Describing it as a “buddy movie”, the review further said that it was “a lively but thinly scripted and overlong mad-dash caper movie, propelled by actors you wish, after a while, had more interesting things to say and do.”

However, IGN’s Jeffrey Vega wrote that for those experiencing the world of Uncharted for the first time, the film is “a solid adventure that benefits from Holland’s charm, no matter how straightforward the plot might be.”

The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw called it “heavy on spectacle” and wrote, “Holland gives his all as rogueish treasure hunter Nathan Drake in a by-the-numbers PlayStation adaptation that’s heavy on spectacle but light on heart.”
