REVIEW SUMMARY
Fountain of Youth is a prime example of how to craft quality, crowd-pleasing entertainment without reinventing the wheel. Is it predictable? Absolutely. Formulaic? No doubt. But it's undeniably fun, visually engaging, and driven by a charismatic cast and a director who knows exactly what he's doing. Guy Ritchie brings his trademark energy without betraying the genre's core identity, and James Vanderbilt delivers a solid, compelling script. It's a shame the film didn't get the theater release it deserved - like the ancient sites it explores, it should have been experienced in all its grandeur.
