Prime Video just added this action movie starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg — but critics and fans disagree strongly on whether it's good

Prime Video just added one of the most divisive video game adaptations ever to its deep library of movies. I'm, of course, talking about "Uncharted," the action movie starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, based on the Naughty Dog video game series of the same name. But while Naughty Dog's most famous video game adaptation — "The Last of Us" — would arrive a year later to near-universal acclaim, this 2022 film was derided by critics, earning a putrid 41% on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. However, audiences strongly disagreed with the critics, rating it a "Verified Hot" 89% on the site. They also drove the film to an impressive $407.1 million at the box office. Having seen it in theaters myself, I have to say I side with the fans on this one. Here's what you need to know about 2022's "Uncharted" and why it's worth watching now that it's on Prime Video. "Uncharted" stars Holland as Nathan "Nate" Drake, a kleptomaniac bartender in New York whose brother, Sam (Rudy Pankow), left him behind in an orphanage as a kid and became a professional treasure hunter. But despite that abandonment, the two still stayed in contact via postcards Sam would send, until one day, they stopped. At the same time that is happening, one of Sam's associates, Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Wahlberg), comes to Nate with an offer to help him find the lost treasure of Ferdinand Magellan's crew, which Sam had been helping Sully hunt down.

That leads them to an auction where they cross paths with the dangerous Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas) and his chief lieutenant Braddock (Tati Gabrielle), and they only just manage to escape. So they head to Barcelona to recruit another one of Sully's contacts, fortune hunter Chloe Frazer (Sophia Ali). Just from that synopsis, you can already tell that "Uncharted" isn't lacking for star power on its call sheet. The movie's cast is loaded with it. It's also pulling from some beloved source material. Like with "The Last of Us," fans really love the world that Naughty Dog built in the "Uncharted" game series and were definitely excited to see it on the big screen. I'm not sure this movie delivered on that last front, certainly not to the level that "The Last of Us" season 1 would the following year. But this movie is fun to watch, copying the template set by numerous fun action-adventure movies before it — the same movies the "Uncharted" games frankly ripped off for their premise. In their review for Variety, Owen Gleiberman called the movie "Raiders of the Lost National Treasure of the Fast & Furious Caribbean." While they meant that derogatorily, I think it's a spot-on assessment of why you'd want to watch this movie. Sure, it's a pale imitation of something like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (though I'm not sure it's that far off "National Treasure"), but not every movie can be "Raiders," something that every subsequent "Indiana Jones" movie has proven multiple times over. Sometimes, you just need a fun, dumb action movie with some stars. On that front, "Uncharted" delivers, and most fans who have seen it clearly agree. Stream "Uncharted" on Prime Video now Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made.

From Sun Tzu to Fun-Tszyu: Sebastian Fundora, Tim Tszyu ready for 'another bloody mess'

There are few fights in the modern era as spectacularly violent as the first time Sebastian Fundora and Tim Tszyu met on March 30, 2024. Tszyu was ahead on the scorecards until a nasty cut opened on his scalp. Even with a minute's rest between rounds, his cutman tried to stanch the downpour. But it was a fool's errand. Tszyu looked like he'd been hit with an axe. Fundora was busted up too, his nose and his face swollen to the point he was almost unrecognizable. Their co-feature supports Manny Pacquiao's return to the ring, aged 46, this Saturday against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. The event airs as a Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view on Prime Video. Fundora, a connoisseur of chaos, welcomes more of it ahead of their rematch on Saturday. 'I want another fight like the first one,' he said earlier in the year. 'Another bloody mess.' Tszyu, a self-styled 'throwback fighter,' has long fought anyone, anytime, any place. With bouts against the likes of Jeff Horn, Tony Harrison and Bakhram Murtazaliev, he's been true to his word. Speaking to Uncrowned, he recalled the cut that changed everything. 'I felt it straight away,' he said, brushing it off as 'a bit of a scratch.' The aftereffects still linger in his Sydney home. Inside a cabinet of memorabilia, he keeps the same handwraps from that night — and they are still stained crimson. His shorts remain soggy. Even his French bulldog, Pablo, refuses to give them a second sniff. 'It was a lot of blood, man,' Tszyu said with a laugh. Spend time around these two and you'll see: This rematch isn't just another fight. It's a campaign. A second front. A test of strategy, discipline and will. And like all great battles, it has its own manual. Enter Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese military strategist whose teachings 2,500 years ago in "The Art of War" may offer a blueprint for how this rematch unfolds as his words echo through Fun-Tszyu 2. 'All warfare is based on deception.' 'In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.' 'Know your enemy and know yourself, and you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.' Strategy & Planning Originally scheduled to fight Keith Thurman in 2024, Tszyu had to pivot fast when Fundora stepped in on short notice after Thurman suffered an injury to his biceps. Going from his original opponent — Thurman is 5-foot-7 with a 69-inch reach — to the 6-foot-6 Fundora with an 80-inch reach, is no small shift in task. 'The biggest takeaway I have from the first fight to the rematch,' Tszyu said, 'is the fact that I get to actually prepare for him. I sort of came out swinging and had to figure everything out on the go.' This time, Tszyu has had a full camp to adjust. He's been sparring taller fighters, practicing the art of punching at a higher target, and drawing from the 12 rounds with Fundora that he's already banked. Fundora's approach is simpler. 'When it comes to strategy and planning, we hit the bag, we train, and we spar," the champ said. "Whatever Tim brings is going to be great for him, but we're focused on what Fundora can bring.' Sun Tzu placed deception at the heart of warfare, and Fundora's simplified look at camp may well be a nod to this, particularly when he provides his thoughts on the famous quote: 'In the midst of chaos, there's opportunity.' It resonates with the Californian boxer. 'We stay calm in chaos,' Fundora said. Why? 'Because our camps are never easy. The fancy stuff, family … that's easy. We're smiling, and we're enjoying it. We see fans. They're greeting us, they're loving us. But the camps are hard. They're tough. We go through lots of dramatic stuff through camp. We go through hardship. 'When the fight comes,' Fundora continued, 'the chaos that you guys see, well, it's nothing but a breeze to me.' The importance of adaptation Tszyu acknowledges that, like Tzu warned, battles can be lost before they even begin. 'Fights can be won before, but you've got to be able to have a mindset of adapting to what's in front of you," he said. In the first fight, Tszyu had to adjust to Fundora's range, and then once again when the cut opened and blood poured everywhere. 'I didn't adapt as quickly as I wanted," he said. "That's my biggest takeaway.' Fundora sees it differently. He credits Tszyu, despite the waves of blood that blurred his vision. 'He looked game through the whole fight to me,' Fundora said, before admitting he targeted the cut deliberately. 'Like you said, this is 'The Art of War.'' Effective leadership and discipline Sun Tzu also emphasized the importance of leadership and unity: A well-led army does not falter. 'I've got the right people around me with No Limit, my manager, my coach, promoters … everyone's on board and we're all loyal to each other,' Tszyu said. 'That's the main theme.' Fundora credits his longtime manager Sampson Lewkowicz, and, of course, his father/trainer Freddy. 'My team is one of the best in boxing because we go out there, we do our job, and we do it professionally," he said. "We make sure there's no bumps or cuts or anything like that, and we just get the job done — always.' That discipline may have shown in how each team handled adversity. Tszyu's corner could have pulled him after that cut in 2024, which may have led to a technical decision win at best, or a No Contest at worst. Instead, he fought on and lost a decision. Fundora, meanwhile, took a year off to heal and then steamrolled Chordale Booker in four rounds. Tszyu returned too soon and was punished by Bakhram Murtazaliev in a brutal TKO loss. 'He needed more time to recover,' Fundora said of Tszyu. 'He got hit more. We had a little swollen nose — nothing wrong with that. They gave us time to heal and we took full advantage [of that time away from the ring].' It's a lesson Fundora says he often discusses with his father. 'These questions and talking points? They're not new to me.' Knowing yourself — and the enemy Sun Tzu's most famous principle may be this: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not fear the result of a hundred battles.' Both fighters feel they've gained that insight. 'You learn more from your losses than your wins,' Tszyu said. 'I intend to come back and put on a show.' Fundora agrees — to a point. He says he knows Tszyu more intimately than past opponents like Erickson Lubin or Brian Mendoza, but doesn't overthink it. 'I just need to focus on what I can do,' he said. So what can Fundora do? 'I can win,' he finished. 'And I'm going to win.'

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' to 'We Were Liars' — Canadian 'BookTok' expert on fandom of book-to-screen adaptions

While we're all still reeling from the first two episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 (particularly Team Conrad fans), the popularity of the show, along with others like We Were Liars and Culpables films, are part of the intensely successful book-to-screen adaptation trend. Working alongside the creation and release of these shows and movies is the "BookTok" boom, as fans of the on-screen stories go back to read the books, and vice versa. In Canada, Morgann Book went from gaining an online following as a teenager posting cake design videos from the Ontario Dairy Queen her parents own, to leaning into her love of reading by drawing book covers on cakes. And yes, her last name also happens to be "Book." Five years later, Book is among the most followed and trusted BookTok voices. So much so that you can see her at the one-day only free, immersive pop-up event in Toronto on July 19, part of Prime Video's Prime Book Club. "I think one thing I didn't do early on, and it was COVID so we couldn't, but I couldn't engage much with my audience in person," Book told Yahoo Canada. "I did a previous event with Prime Video back in December and that was one of the first times I had met a large number of my audience, ... my followers, friends, in person. And I'm still connecting with those people today." "I think it's really incredible to see the community that BookTok as a whole ... has just fostered because readers, we're introverts, but you get us talking about books, and it kind of just opens people up in a brand new way." How book fans evaluate screen adaptations For Book herself, even she finds inspiration in the larger BookTok community, including for her successful podcast, "Off The Shelf," diving into both novels and book-to-screen adaptations, part of her Bookish Media company. "I've really been inspired this year through authors and BookTokers that I've gotten to connect and meet with through my podcast," Book shared. "This is another year where I'm like, I love YA [young adult] and romance and romantacy, but ... I really want to branch out my reading taste this year, and I felt like that has kept me inspired." But when it comes to book-to-screen adaptations, many of the most recent hits have found their home on Prime Video. And what Book believes makes a great one is when there's "respect" for the source material, while also being crafted in a way that appeals to a new audience. "We Were Liars, for example, was published in 2014. I've known about this book for 11 years now ... and I think when the show finally came out they really did a good job at saying, yes this is a new show coming out, but they included specific lines of dialogue and scenes that connected the original audience to this new show," she said. "Certain lines, like there was a mention of Johnny not wearing sunscreen, and ... that immediately clicked as like, OK someone on this team read this book, knows what they're doing." With these adaptations also comes more BookTok content. In the case of The Summer I Turned Pretty, it reignites conversations like whether Belly should choose Conrad or Jeremiah. "I haven't seen a Team Conrad, Team Jeremiah feud since the whole Twilight thing, which was a very long time ago," Book said. "No one knows what's coming in Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, but those who have read the books know how the other books translated on screen, and can kind of hypothesize where Season 3 is going." Reflecting on her impressive career to date and that initial connection to social media, Book highlighted that her journey has allowed her to become more comfortable in her self, particularly in more public spaces. "The people who I grew up with and the person that I was growing up would not recognize who I am today," Book said. "I can be a shy person, but I think BookTok and content and social media and doing interviews like this and doing the podcast has allowed me to become, not even like an extrovert, but just comfortable in what I'm saying and what I'm speaking about." "I used to be a terrible public speaker. It made me so nauseous. And I think going to events and hosting all these things has just changed who I am inherently as a person, which I didn't even think was possible." But what's next on Book's reading list? In the spirit of The Summer I Turned Pretty reaching its last season, Book said she's planning on pickingThe Summer of Broken Rules by K.L. Walther. "This is supposed to be like a really good YA summer romance," Book highlighted. "Then if you want something like a little bit spicier, Meghan Quinn also has really great summer rom-coms that I love." The Prime Book Club Toronto Pop-Up takes place July 19 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Mandy's at The Well. Activities include customizing your Kindle case, an on-site artist for a custom rendering of your ultimate book crush, and more.
