kermitthefrog594 Treasure of the Peacock's Eye, Chapter 17 of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, is the type of adventure that made Raiders of the Lost Ark so popular. Even the titles are similar! The story follows young Indy, about twenty (and played rather well by Sean Patrick Flannery), in 1919. The war is over, but Indy and friend Remy discover a treasure map on the battlefield. The map will lead to the Eye of the Peacock - Alexander the Great's fabled diamond.Also after the diamond is an eye-patched villain, a seductive femme fatale who sees Indy as her prince, and a band of ruthless pirates. It boasts inventive action sequences - for a made-for-TV movie - including a battle with a pirate ship.The ending, however, is a minor letdown. The question on whether the Eye of the Peacock is discovered or not resolved, but many believe it was featured in the opening of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.A good time!

supercygnus The first half of this straight to video film (it's comprised of 2 episodes from the show) is filled with great humor, ancient treasures and all the swashbuckling action and adventure Indian Jones fans have come to love.The second half of the film slows down considerably. As mentioned above, the film is actually 2 episodes from the show, and like most t.v. shows, many episodes have distinctly different feels from one another (E.R. for example may have a more light hearted episode occasionally, or one that focuses primarily on one character). Unfortunately, the two shows, while making sense to put them together makes as they are in sequential order, they don't match up very well in tone on style. While the first half is a lot of Indy style action, the second slows to an almost crawl. The first half many will prefer, but the second has it's own merit as well. The two just do not flow together very well.Still a strong exciting and funny first half (Flanery really gets to do the Indiana Jones thing in this one!), and an interesting (if a bit too ponderous) second half still make up a strong if slightly disjointed finished product. A must see/own for Indy Jones fans, and worth if only to see the invaders fighting Indy on the Ocean liner! A sequence more than worthy in the Indiana Jones adventures!

K N Considering that this is a made-for-TV movie, I have to give it an 8 out of 10. Great acting, good plot, exciting actions and fun to watch. If you like Indiana Jones or Sean Patrick Flanery, you've gotta see this!

Brian-55 This movie was loads of fun. It's obviously made-for-TV, but still has a higher production value than most of them.The story follows a 20-year-old Indy (Flannery) and his friend Remy from the battlefields of Belgium to the South Pacific in search of a precious gem.Along the way we get to peak inside young Indy as he must decide whether it's the prize or the chase that he loves.All-in-all fun family fare. If you're a big Indy fan, I recommend this flick to add to your collection.
