Movie Reviews of The Librarian - Quest for the Spear
Movie Review: Fast, Fun, and Senseless
Summary: 3 Stars
Noah Wylie is a young man with 22 degrees and is being forced into the real world. He then received an invitation to interview at the Metropolitan Library. Hidden in the depths of the library is the true Library. Here as stored all the great knowledge and powerful artifact of the ages. It has been locked away for millennia. Wylie is offered the position of Librarian and he would be in charge of the collection. But no sooner does he start than the Library's defenses are pierced and a piece of the Spear of Destiny has been stolen.
Wylie must go in the field and retrieve the remaining pieces and rescue the stolen one before its power can be used for evil. Lots of action and silliness follow as Wylie tries to fulfill his job and his destiny. Add an excellent supporting cast of Bob Newhart, Jane Curtin and Olympia Dukakis really help keep this show entertaining and fun.
But fun or not, this movie bears resemblance to Armageddon, the fun action picture that didn't make a lick of sense. First we have Wylie have to find the remaining pieces of the spear instead of just rescuing the stolen one. By finding the others, they just become vulnerable. One an international flight the cockpit is open to visitors (there is an air marshal so we know the time frame). A door on the plane is opened at cruising altitude and it doesn't depressurize (in fact passengers are shown to be completely unaware). Cell phones apparently can work deep in the Amazon where there are no cell towers. There is a Mayan pyramid a hundred times larger than anything they build and so tall it would have been seen from anywhere in the amazon. The name of god has been lost for 4,000 years (and not just from the second destruction of the Great Temple in 70 AD). Since the Spear is true, Christianity is true, but the Spear needs a Pagan ritual to put it back together (not bloody likely). And more and more and more. But like Armageddon the details don't matter. Granted it would have been nice if they got some of them right but they didn't care about that. If you like fun action films that have good characters and more than a hint of wit, then this one is for you. If you can't stand plot inaccuracies, then stay away from this one.
Movie Review: A must see!
Summary: 4 Stars
A fun campy adventure story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Who'd expect a nerdy, 30 year old professional student to save the world. If you are a fan of Indiana Jones, Relic Hunter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the Mummy. You must see the Librarian. A great cast and a story that doesn't pause for a breath, keeps you laughing out loud and holding onto the edge of your seat.
A definate must see!
Movie Review: The Librarian-Quest for the Spear
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this second movie as much as the first one. Noah Wylie as the Librarian is great casting. It was fun, adventurous, and totally enjoyable. I hope they plan on making more of these movies,Movie Review: The Librarian
Summary: 4 Stars
Having seen the second movie on TV I ordered the first. This movie, though not as good as the second, is entertaining and set the ground work for the second and possibly additional movies. The story line is well thought out with the reality streatching well into the world of fantisy.Movie Review: Just Plain FUN
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great movie, Better then the TV version. But ultimately it has no redeaming value other then it is lots of plain stupid fun. This is a movie for the escapist in each of us. Good family entertainment all the way around, with lots of "clean humor". The Comedic genius of Jane Curtain and Bob Newhart playing against the bumbling antics of Noah Wyle, and the confident beauty of Sonya Walger, and you have a winning combination.
