I am a HUGE Cussler fan, and I am not eagerly anticipating this movie, but I will see it anyway. I'm not as concerned about McConaughey (William H Macy is way miscast, but he's at least a decent actor) as I am about the guy playing Giordino. Steve Zahn is so not Giordino that it's not even funny. And I don't care for Penelope Cruz either. However, my sister (who got me hooked on Cussler) and I have discussed this, and since Cussler himself had a say over casting....we're both putting our faith in his choice and hoping that it doesn't suck royally.
