how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 9 comments (6 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 4 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 4 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βit jumps the shark at the midway point with the drug lordβs carefree, happy attitude as he helps Joan & Jack escape Col. Zolo & his military goons while barely evading deadly machine gun fire. Why so gleeful when they could all die at any moment? Why so merry when he's now targeted as an enemyβ

βHis introduction and the next 20 minutes, where skint-Jack and lost-Joan get to know each other, are without a doubt my favourite part of this mystery comedy.β

βThe scene is unexpected where Jack has the green emerald in his crotch and he dances to let the emerald scroll down his leg and kicks it in the air to let the bad guy catch it and the crocodile bites his hand off, now that's freaking grim.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βA classic adventure story that brilliantly transcends its fairly average formula (buttoned-up city gal is softened by devil-may-care chancer while outwitting baddies in foreign lands) through a mixture of perfect casting, lashings of chemistry between the stars and a clever script.β
Serena Davies, The Telegraph Β· 90
βA thoroughly enjoyable Raiders of the Lost Ark inspired adventure film, set in the present and starring Michael Douglas as an American hustler in Columbia who helps uptight romance novelist Kathleen Turner search for buried treasure. [22 June 1984, p.12]β
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune Β· 88
βDouglas and Turner make a great double act in this exuberantly directed adventure movie with a great start turn from the always enjoyable De Vito. Good stuff.β
William Thomas, Empire Β· 80
βA silly, high-spirited chase picture that takes us, as they say, from the canyons of Manhattan to the steaming jungles of South America. After all the Raiders rip-offs, it's fun to find an adventure film that deserves the comparison, that has the same spirit and sense of humor.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 75
βThe filmmakers have devised some clever twists on the earlier films they recall - Raiders of the Lost Ark and Peter Pan among them - and they reserve a good share of the derring-do for their heroine, who's a refreshingly far cry from the helpless ladies-in-distress of old. Under the direction of Robert Zemeckis, the action goes limp and perfunctory at a few key moments, weakening the picture's wallop. But it still packs a healthy amount of self-deflating fun.β

βFrom a time when Zemeckis stuck to ageless practical effects, "Romancing the Stone" is still a wonderful movie 40 years later.β

βAfter returning home following an editors meeting to discuss her latest romance novel, Joan discovers her apartment has been ransacked. Soon after she receives a frantic call from her sister who has been kidnapped telling her she must meet the kidnappers in Columbia. An adventure movie very much in the same vein as Raiderβs of the Lost Ark, Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner make for a great pairing and itβs easy to get swept along for the ride.β

βI guess I was a bit more impressed with the leads in this movie than the other reviewer here, for I think they held up their end of a story that is, if anything, even more of a take-off on action movies that the Raider franchise. It is fluff, of course, with odd violence offsetting what is a rather gentle adventure. Good luck finding it on one of the streaming services out there. It is for sale or rent only at this time. I had a chance to watch it free, however, as I wasnβt about to buy or reβ
