What's your Favorite non Indiana Jones Puzzle Adventure Series?

[captive]

We've got the Mummy with off the charts chemistry between Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz with two solid entries and a third movie that does not exist.

National Treasure with peak Nic Cage and Diane Kruger with a really good first movie and average but still fun second movie.

and the Robert Langdon Movies (Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons and Inferno) with Tom Hanks and a different female lead every movie.




My overall favorite movie is National Treasure 1. For series it might be mummy but i didnt like how they went with the same villain with the same gimmick again. And Robert Langdon movies seem to take themselves too seriously whereas the other two have lots of humor interspersed.

Mummy is two highly enjoyable films with a bonus of incredible cgi on the rock for the second.
National Treasure is eh
dan brown stuff was excruciating garbo for the first, didn't watch the others

 

[Hippopuncher12]

I have to go with National Treasure, the 2nd movie wasn't as strong as the 1st but was still good. I love the 1st two Mummy movies as well, but the 3rd was pretty bad. But if I had to choose between the two it would be National Treasure. I only watched the first Langdon movie, Da Vinci Code and it was fine, but just kind of meh.

Mummy 1+2 are fantastic. 3 wasn't good though.

This. I loved this series growing up!

For movies I'd say The Mummy, but I liked the first National Treasure as well.

Of course. Even at the time it was considered terrible. I think it was first shown on wwf raw/smackdown, I remember laughing my ass off.

 

[hiredhand]

Surely Romancing the Stone/The Jewel of the Nile should be an option? It sure as hell is better than National Treasure or Langdon films.

 

[AWizardDidIt]

That first Mummy is so good.

I'm pretty neutral on everything else.

 

[Ariakon44]

The first Mummy. I don't like any of the others in that poll, to be honest about it.

this is like the most demented answer you could have possibly given in this thread. what? aquaman wasnt a treasure hunt movie lol

 

[Sinatar]

Where's Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile?

 

[N64Controller]

I unironically liked The Mummy, even 2.

The Mummy is the 2nd best Jones film.

 

[Rukland]

Voted The Mummy, glad to see chairthrow.gif already posted. While I like National Treasure (both 1&2) the first Mummy is just so good that anytime it comes on I pretty much stop everything and watch it. The 2nd is still fun but misses some of the magic of the first.

Damn right.

National Treasure is a better Da Vinci Code movie than the Da Vinci Code movie. The Da Vinci Code movie forgot it was based on a pulpy nonsense book and tried to be way to damn serious.

yes, said it in the op but the the Langdon movies really take themselves too seriously.

National Treasure is great and i will not suffer any besmirching of it.

Missed that. I like National Treasure, it's dumb fun.

 

[Ballpoint Ren]

The Mummy and it ain't even a contest.

 

[The Albatross]

Everybody has that friend who takes National Treasure a little too seriously

 

[Magic Mushroom]

The Road to El Dorado.

They were literally looking for the Kings magical Trident within the film. Part of the movie was an adventure treasure hunt

is that a series of multiple movies?

I agree with you. If the next one is also a treasure hunt movie we could do a new thread including it. :)

 

[WinniethePimp]

Don't make me chose between Tia Carrere and Nic Cage!!!

 

[davidnolan13]

shit seems like im the only person who likes the langdon stories. ah well. chevaliers de sangreal is a great theme to.

 

[Mandos]

Why isn't the Librarian a choice?(or if we're talking tv period, librarians/Warehouse 13)

 

[JigglesBunny]

Fraser all day, every day.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Click to shrink...

It isn't. But picking it anyway, as it's better than any of the other series.

 

[Ubik]

Does Guardians of the Galaxy count? Easily my favourite MCU films and they give me that classic adventure vibe for sure even if they have the sci-fi setting. Kinda like how Star Wars is more fantasy even though it has the sci-fi setting.

I only really liked the first Mummy and first National Treasure. The sequels didn't quite do it for me. In fact, I can't even remember a single detail about the National Treasure sequel.

 

[Doran]

I think the first Pirates of the Caribbean could be on here, and I love it.

 

[The Lord of Cereal]

I feel like all three of these are like different genres, and it's hard to pick a favorite. My favorite Indiana Jones style movie series would probably be The Librarian or The Mummy.

 

[GamerJM]

National Treasure is the best of these as a series, the first Mummy movie is the best movie in any of these, but none of these series have a movie that's better than a 7/10 imo.

 

[BrightLightLava]

I really enjoyed the Mummy movies as they were first coming out, but rewatching the first recently and boy howdy do they indiscriminately murder a lot of brown people.

i debated putting pirates on there, but i felt like they are more pirate movies than just puzzle solving adventure movies.
