For them to use this theme once in Raiders was fair enough, but the problem with Kingdom is that it got in the way and meant that the film was lacking anything vaguely resembling a twist. They just stuck doggedly to a formula - by film 4 we should have had something of a critique of it.

I don't know any academics that would refuse to know more. That's why we get into the game in the first place, because we're curious. Good review though. Although I was hoping for a Lib Dem analysis of last week's by-election! You may distinguish between knowledge and wisdom, but I actually felt that it was a bit anti-intellectual.
