Hired to find the Fountain of Youth by billionaire Owen Carver (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/features\/2015\/4\/24\/8484167\/ex-machina-interview\"><em>Ex Machina<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Domhnall Gleeson), Luke seeks the help of his estranged sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman), trying to rekindle her love of the globe-trotting adventures the family shared before their father died. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2018\/10\/14\/17974928\/indiana-jones-and-the-last-crusade-raiders-of-the-lost-ark-connection\"><em>Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade<\/em><\/a>, 2018\u2019s <em>Tomb Raider<\/em>,<em> <\/em>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23807568\/venture-bros-jackson-publick-doc-hammer-interview\"><em>The Venture Bros.<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>all did a far better job at exploring the challenges of bringing your family along to pursue ancient, maybe-magical relics than this script. <em>Zodiac <\/em>and <em>The Amazing Spider-Man <\/em>screenwriter James Vanderbilt doesn\u2019t show an ounce of sympathy for Charlotte\u2019s decision to settle down to raise a kid and become a museum curator, siding entirely with Luke\u2019s assessment that he is cool and right about everything, and his sister is boring and wasting her life.<\/p>\n<p>While Krasinski has great chemistry with Gonz\u00e1lez, Luke\u2019s sibling banter with Charlotte falls entirely flat. Vanderbilt doesn\u2019t even try to come up with credible reasons for Charlotte to join the quest, instead repeatedly using <a href=\"https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/GilliganCut\">Gilligan Cuts<\/a> to just show that she\u2019s still at Luke\u2019s side on the next phase of the journey. Charlotte\u2019s young son Thomas (<em>The Devil&#8217;s Hour<\/em>\u2019s Benjamin Chivers) tags along mostly to reiterate how lame his mom is, but at least gets a surprisingly compelling scene grilling Owen about his wealth and motivations. Charlotte occasionally hints that she knew things about their dad that Luke didn\u2019t, particularly in relation to a golden mask that haunts Luke\u2019s dreams. But there\u2019s no real payoff to that plot, or explanation of what their adventures meant to her.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/guy-ritchies-fountain-of-youth-is-a-blatant-ripoff-of-indiana-jones-and-the-last-crusade-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That backstory could have been fleshed out a bit by the members of her dad\u2019s old crew, who Luke teams up with \u2014 inexplicably, they\u2019re just a few years older than the Purdue siblings, rather than from their father\u2019s generation. But Patrick Murphy (Laz Alonso) and Deb McCall (Carmen Ejogo) just feel like a hollow attempt to replicate Ethan Hunt\u2019s support team in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/599224\/mission-impossible-final-reckoning-review\">Mission: Impossible<\/a> movies, providing functional help without any real motivations or personalities of their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Instead, the script just delivers exposition dumps straight out of a Dan Brown story, about an alliance of famous artists hiding clues to the Fountain of Youth\u2019s location in their masterpieces, and a secret society sworn to make sure its power remains hidden. Because Ritchie loves fight scenes with as many factions trying to kill each other as possible, Luke\u2019s team is also pursued by multiple other groups who are upset about everything his team stole to solve the puzzle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/guy-ritchies-fountain-of-youth-is-a-blatant-ripoff-of-indiana-jones-and-the-last-crusade-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Some fun sequences make clever use of the environment, like a playful skirmish between Luke and Esme in the Austrian National Library. But a mission to find a clue on the back of the Rembrandt painting the businessman Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt Sr. \u2014 the screenwriter\u2019s great-grandfather \u2014 brought on the <em>Lusitania<\/em> and conveniently stored in a waterproof safe is highly self-indulgent, and just another example of Charlotte being a useless buzzkill. Rather than feeling stylish or clever, signature Ritchie touches like a slow-motion fight scene and a flashback explaining part of the climax only add to the film\u2019s clunkiness. He could have easily cut 30 minutes of repetitive foreshadowing and building suspense for an ending that turns out to be blatantly stolen from <em>Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If <em>Fountain of Youth<\/em> kept up the simple fun of its first few scenes, it could have been a solid tribute to the adventure genre. But Vanderbilt and Ritchie\u2019s attempt to find some profound meaning in the search for lost treasure never really works, because their characters are too thin to make their emotional catharsis meaningful. There is nothing at the end of this journey worth the time spent getting there.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Fountain of Youth <em>releases on Apple TV Plus on May 23.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/600818\/fountain-of-youth-review-guy-ritchie-john-krasinski-natalie-portman\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout Guy Ritchie\u2019s Indiana Jones knockoff movie Fountain of Youth, characters repeatedly argue that the joy of adventure is more valuable than whatever prize they\u2019re seeking.
