Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

cayotica Oddly enough for an hour and 38 minutes of nothing the movie went by fairly fast as I waited breathlessly for the next thing to not happen. Senseless murders, a great white hunter that can't shoot straight and a safari without rifles, porters, tents or supplies. However, I guess that is all you can expect when you move king Solomon's Mines into the mid 1960s and it looks like you didn't have the slightest idea of how to make a movie. The Allan Quartermain in this movie is a joke and an insult to all lovers of the Allan Quatermain stories. Dialogue is lacking and weak, special effects none and the only interesting thing was about two worth minutes of National Geographic style footage which in itself made no sense either. With no beginning, a middle section of bad acting with a confusing storyline and one of the poorest endings ever, I don't recommend anyone wasting time watching this. I was going to rate this flick a 3/10 but I don't believe it's even that good. Finally, and this might qualify as a spoiler but is it really a "Temple of Skulls" when there's only a 20 or so skulls in the temple to begin with?

Leofwine_draca ALLAN QUATERMAIN AND THE TEMPLE OF SKULLS is another open rip-off made by The Asylum, this time copying the Hollywood blockbuster INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULLS. This one goes back to some classic H. Rider Haggard source material, but it turns out to be a low rent, anachronistic mess. The only thing this has going for it is that it was shot in South Africa, so it has some very nice locations; most of the time you end up watching the backgrounds rather than what's going on with the actors. A small cast work their way through a typically silly and melodramatic tale, which plays out on the smallest scale you can imagine. If lead Sean Cameron Michael looks familiar, it's because he was in BLACK SAILS, and what a step up that was from this! Christopher Adamson is the generic villain, and a familiar face from cinema, but neither actor can do much with the strained material. Some brief and silly gore effects and an extended bit of topless native dancing are the only thing this dud have to offer.

Desertman84 Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls is a direct-to-video that was released after Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was released on theaters.Obviously,it was a parody of Indiana Jones and it tried to take its cue from the 1985 film adaptation of King Solomon's Mines.It stars Sean Michael as Allan Quatermain together with Christopher Adamson,Sanaa Lathane,Daniel Bonjour and Wittly Jourdan. In it,Quatermain has been recruited to lead a British-American expedition in search for treasure in an unknown African land.It could have been a good film.Too bad that it took its cue from the 1985 adaptation of the King Solomon's Mines novel rather than the better version of the novel such as the 1937 film and 1950 classic.Also,it tried to capitalize on Quatermain as a parody of the Indiana Jones character rather than giving their own version of the novel.This errors led it into becoming a disastrous movie.

patlightfoot I was looking forward to it. But - found it hard, very hard, to take it seriously, I thought it might be a black comedy or skit on that classic novel. Acting? Dismal, non existent script & continuity? If they were Zulus, they didn't act or appear to be real. The scenery was great but came from all parts of S.A. Why would Lady Anna, come dressed for a party, entering not only a shady bush drinking place, but in the S.A. bush. And Allan Q, behaved like a dumb, recovering alcoholic with little facial expressions or body language throughout. Just as well I got it for nothing from the local library. If this was an adaptation of the classic novel, the script writer should be buried up to his/her neck in an ant-hill. The final scene, them bowing and smiling. What was that all about, or maybe I fast forwarded the sequence when it could have been answered.
