I saw it back in middle school, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, it can be a little campy and over the top. Yet, that's the beauty of the film. It's an enjoyable 90-120 minutes of time well-spent.... Full review

This mid Eighties film was a surprise hit for Fox and the studio had initially little faith in Zemeckis and Douglas pulling the film off after the tremendous success of "Raiders of the Lost Ark.
