There are way too many semi-superhero archeologists roaming about. Seriously, how many powerful artifacts and hidden treasures are there? After a thorough research and a lot of deep contemplating, I shall rank these using the BS ranking system ("1337" ranking).

In a very particular order:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Bronze medal (of shame)

Ben Gates / Nicolas Cage (National Treasure) - I want my two hours back.

Flynn Carsen / Noah Wyle (The Librarian) - Yawn.

Rick O'Connell / Brendan Fraser (The Mummy) - The third one was so bad I hate them all now.

Robert Langdon / Tom Hanks and his wig (The DaVinci Code) - Oh noes, my brainz are bleeding due to large amounts of fail.

Silver medal

Nathan Drake (Uncharted) - That's the way to do it.

George Stobbart (Broken Sword) - First two games are awesome. Third and fourth - not so much.

Gabriel Knight (Gabriel..um, Knight) - Kind of like Stobbart's older twin brother. With an attitude.

Gold medal (of fame)

Henry Walton Jones / Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) - A role model for all the whimps previously mentioned.

Lara Croft / Angelina Jolie (Tomb Raider) - Hellya. Check out the old trailers for TR:Underworld, pretty cool!

Conclusion

After a relatively succesfull reboot of the Tomb Raider series recently (yay), we can expect the same from our beloved movie industry in the near future. Indy will probably have to wait a decade or so (see Crystal Skull for clarification). Drake can do whatever he wants, I can't afford a PS3 anyway (if they make a motion picture it's destined to suck). Others should fade into oblivion, forced to save Kvatch over and over again for all eternity.
