Sinopsis(1)
La carrera literaria de la brillante, a la vez que huraña, escritora de novelas Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) ha girado en torno a las populares novelas románticas de aventuras que, ambientadas en lugares exóticos, protagoniza un atractivo galán cuya imagen aparece reproducida en todas las portadas, y que en la vida real corresponde a Alan (Channing Tatum), un modelo que ha centrado su carrera en personificar al novelesco aventurero. Durante una gira para promocionar su nuevo libro junto a Alan, Loretta es raptada por un excéntrico multimillonario (Daniel Radcliffe), con la intención de que la autora le guíe hasta el tesoro de la antigua ciudad perdida sobre el que gira su último relato. Deseoso de demostrar que puede ser un héroe en la vida real, y no simplemente en las páginas de sus obras de ficción, Alan se lanza al rescate de la novelista. Inmersos en medio de una épica aventura en la jungla, la extraña pareja tendrá que dejar a un lado sus diferencias y aprender a colaborar para sobrevivir a los elementos y encontrar el ancestral tesoro antes de que desaparezca para siempre.

Desde el punto de vista comercial, se trata de un producto de estudio bien calculado y refinado que no ofende a nadie, pero que al mismo tiempo no tiene en absoluto la ambición de ofrecer ningún tipo de experiencia de espectador excepcional o por lo menos ligeramente superior a la media. El pétreo labio superior rígido y las mejillas perfectamente alisadas de Sandra Bullock me distraían bastante de la trama, al igual que el villano totalmente inútil interpretado por Daniel Radcliffe, que hace lo que puede como actor pero no arregla el error de casting. Será mejor que vuelvas a ver incluso tras años la excelente Tras el corazón verde, ya que La ciudad perdida es sólo un pulido comercial que sirve para verlo cuando te toca planchar.

The premise had potential, but the film falls short by making the characters look foolish. The best moments were with Brad Pitt — he was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, he didn't have nearly enough screen time.

An enjoyable spring film packed with great actors, a fine setting and effective humour. I didn't expect much from Lost City and it could be said it is a spring surprise that combines several elements and genres in one, and it all works well together. Sandra Bullock is traditionally excellent as a sexy and smart woman. She plays a successful writer who is kidnapped by a mad millionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) because he thinks she her book describes the path to a lost city and hidden treasure. Sandra is about to be rescued by a bumbling dork played by Channing Tatum (quite possibly his best role ever). He hires Navy Seals Tracker Jack Trainer (Brad Pitt), who deserves his own movie, an unreal badass who has one of the best action scenes of the entire film (surprisingly solid fights!). Plot-wise it's a bit cliched and predictable, but it doesn't really matter that much as the chemistry between Bullock and Tatum works great (their banter is very entertaining, classy, intelligent and never descends into profanity). The whole film has a nice pace with fine action and a decent amount of humour. The jungle setting could have been used better (there are no animals or danger there, unfortunately), and the finale is weaker than the beginning and middle, but I still had a great time and will happily repeat the film. Story 3/5, Action 4/5, Humor 4/5, Violence 1/5, Fun 4/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense35/5, Emotion 3/5, Actors 4/5. 7.5/10.

The chase for an idiot. Mocking romance novels by having the main sapiosexual heroine fall for her simple-minded counterpart right around the time she's removing leeches from his sexy behind is outrageous! When he starts kissing her at the end, it's like he's kissing someone's mom! Which gravity-defying producer allowed this cuddling with Magic Channing? The joke died after the initial meeting with the readers, the romantic-adventure storyline goes straight into the plastic waste bin, and Radcliffe's villain could easily lie down among kittens during a TV break. The Lost City? More like lost time.

An inoffensive Valentine's romance. The passage with Brad Pitt is actually excellent. Daniel Radcliffe was also a surprise, playing the annoying bad guy with obvious gusto.

Similar adventurous and non-branded genres from cinemas have practically disappeared, and I was surprised that Lost City can be seen as a tiny success because the revenues weren't that big. Fortunately, the budget was kept in calm waters, and I enjoy walking along with it. Nothing I would remember long term (Uncharted was probably a bit more fun for me), but as a replacement for almost immortal comic book movies, it's a very warm choice. And besides, it features Brad Pitt in a totally badass role that should have a prequel spin-off.

I love those concepts where a film first makes a huge joke out of genre tropes, then becomes one and gets carried away on the silliness of all the clichés, dialogue and characters. The Lost City goes all-in in this regard, and although the over-the-top self-aware 'I know I'm over-the-top' humour gets annoying after a while, it manages to keep its face. Whether it's because of the boundless adventurous naivety, where everything is a reference to something else in the service of a deliberately unrealistic plot twist, or because of all those A-list actors having so much fun. Bullock is naturally great like in the old days, Tatum enjoys the anti-heroic narcissist more than he did in 21 Jump Street, Radcliffe entertains every second and Pitt reigns supreme in a role that would kick Cliff Booth's ass (though he'd probably lose more than ten percent in the process – inside joke). It’s not something I’d want to see a second time, but I'd love a spin-off with Jack Trainer. 65 %

The Lost City seemed to play out the pages of Loretta Sage's novels on the screen (with a certain amount of exaggeration), you get both action and romance, all spiced up with adventure and a dose of humour, although they perhaps kept the comic level too low-key (the black-humour bit with the dead woman in the car, however, was very funny). In the end, this is a laid-back and predictable one-off with a likeable cast that woefully missed the potential of the characters Coach and Beth.

The Lost City is ultimately an inoffensive one-off that entertains most of the time with its stupid characters with their stupid humour, but I admit I'm not that enchanted and was expecting a much bigger charge. Sandra Bullock is as good as always in similar comedies and Brad Pitt and Daniel Radcliffe on the other hand are pretty bland, but it's all pulled up by Channing Tatum, or rather his amusing character of a complete goofball who takes care of most of the laughs, drops decent one-liners and is simply the classic archetype of the "funny buffoon". On the other hand, the story is a classic cliché, the logic is often lacking, the running time of two hours is quite a stretch and overall the film doesn't have as much charm as I would have expected. It's a nice time and a decent fun on one viewing, but it's not exactly a world hit either. Better average.

Non-original, clichéd almost parody, which after the first third begins to bore incredibly. Basically take the Jungle Expedition, replace The Rock with Channing Tatum, Emily Blunt with Sandra Bullock, add an unrealistic character played by Brad Pitt, a few boring, unnecessary and quota-fulfilling characters, remove the mysterious subtext and cursed conquerors and you have the Lost City. I don't understand why they had to make Tatum a completely incompetent idiot and make Harry Potter the main villain. Almost nothing works here... Only Sandra Bullock looks good and Daniel Radcliffe's English is listenable.

This one hurt. I really didn't think I'd still be fondly remembering last year's routine and sterile Jungle Cruise, because this was truly LOST on all fronts. I'm aware that Channing Tatum and Daniel Radcliffe are deliberately overacting in their roles, but why on earth isn't it entertaining, even for a moment? If anyone is knocked on their ass over the filmmakers’ lack of invention with their reference to True Detective and Peaky Blinders (a "reference" in the form of the use of the opening title sequence), I sincerely feel sorry for them. At the same time, I don't rule out the possibility that someone might be genuinely taken with this by virtue of succeeding to decipher such sophisticated references. And it doesn't end there: there's an assload of such deeply "sophisticated" references, in the style of a young Jaroslav Slávik. An utterly awful cringefest in which Sandra Bullock wins once again the battle of her life against time and plastic surgery, Channing Tatum has leeches removed from his own ass (*SPOILER ALERT* NO, I'M JUST KIDDING!), and Daniel Radcliffe, with his fake-looking beard, tragicomically fires a revolver instead of the Avada Kedavra curse. And what was Brad Pitt supposed to do there? A funny interlude, a face for the poster, a continuation of the legacy of his Cliff Booth character? If this pays off in box receipts, them we're totally screwed as a society. A terrible streaming yawner with a foul stench in theaters that even the later "comedic" work of Adam Sandler to shame. The last time I walked out of a theater this pissed off was with Alien: Covenant. [20%]
