Movie Reviews of The Librarian - Quest for the Spear
Movie Review: If you love King Solomon's Mines with Richard Chamberlain You'll Love this Turkey
Summary: 1 Stars
I had just purchased this DVD based on the glowing reviews posted about how "wonderful and fun" this movie was. I was expecting an exciting and adventurous movie particularly with the terrific actors and actresses involved. Boy, was I ever disappointed! No matter how good the acting, it did not make up for the woeful and I mean woeful dialogue. I did not even make it through one-third of the movie before I had enough. The premise was terrific but the implementation was terrible. Perhaps I was expecting a different slant of Raiders of the Lost Ark but got a TV pilot that never saw, and rightly so, the light of day. Librarian indeed. The writers need to go to their libraries and look up how to write a good script because it sure wasn't evident here. Don't waste your money on this awful movie.Movie Review: Fun and funner
Summary: 5 Stars
No pretentions. This movie doesn't carry any secret messages or try to be something it's not. It's just a fun adventure story with a little mystery and magic thrown in for color.Movie Review: Quest for the Spear
Summary: 5 Stars
The Librarian is a fun movie for the whole family. My wife and I watched this when it originally aired and thought perhaps it was a pilot. We thoroughly enjoyed it and were disappointed not to see a TV series from this movie. I am happy at least the movie has now come out on DVD. This is something like a modern day cross between "Tomb Raider" and the new "Dr. Who". The Librarian is not quite as physical as Indiana Jones, he uses his wits more to resolve problems, after all he was a professional student. However; there is still plenty of action and his guardian is not only lovely, she can kick the bad guys butts too. Good family entertainment and plenty of replayability. I suggest it as a purchase. I am anxiously awaiting my DVD to watch it again. This just recently came out on DVD. It is not well known movie and I think it may develop a bit of a movie cult status as it is unusual. This did not get alot of press and yet all my friends that I have talked to about it knew about it and thought it was great. This has the right ingredients to have been a hit TV series, but was not considered to have the cast to make the movie theater circuit I guess so they aired it only once to my knowledge. If you enjoyed "National Treasure" or "Sahara" you will probably enjoy it. Great male and female leads with good support cast that includes Bob Newhart and Jane Curtin.Movie Review: A good campy fun movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The Librarian - Quest for the Spear is a solid made for TV B movie. Once you accept that fact, you can sit down and enjoy the movie. It stars Noah Wylie as Flynn, an overachieving eternal college student who knows too much for his own good. College has been his safe haven for most of his adult life, picking up new degrees like a magnet and a pile of iron filings, but when he's told by his professor he needs to graduate early and explore life the adventure begins.
Soon after he gets an invite to interview as librarian for the Metropolitan Library. But not just as a normal librarian. It's full of treasures from across the world, real and mythical. And the job turns into finding and defending them. He's soon romping across the world trying to find the Spear of Destiny, accompanied by Nicole, the Librarian's bodyguard, Sonya Walger.
The fun here is watching the situations and letting yourself go as the Librarian adventures, explores and fights the bad guys in true B movie fashion. From the ancient temples to the museum fight scenes with Bob Newhart, it's a chance to relive good B movie fun with some modern twists and passable special effects.
Movie Review: Family fun
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of the reviews I only have to add that it is good family fun.
It was over the top on a lot of things, but this is the most fun I have had watching a movie in a long time.
And clean enough for the kids to watch too. Have fun!!
