ThiefHott Too much of everything

Wordiezett So much average

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

moparo I don't know why this movie was given such a low rating. I loved this movie as a kid and watching it on netflix was just as entertaining. People have to remember that this wasn't supposed to be better than Indiana Jones or compete with it. Its supposed to put a humorous spin on it. From the theme song, German bad guys, Quarterman's get up, its all jokes.Take Indiana Jones, add a truck load of jokes, sprinkle in some bad effects and this is what you add up with. A good movie to waste time with!Enjoy it for what it is and don't expect more.

IndustriousAngel Some reviewers here think that it's a fun movie because it's so ridiculous, sadly I can't share that feeling. Comparisons to Indiana Jones are out of place; a much better movie to measure it against is "Romancing the Stone", and it loses every single point. The main problem is not the cheap stock footage, nor the ridiculous script (that could basically work as a comedy), nor the silly sets and costumes - the main problem is the atrocious acting. A comedy needs actors and a director with good timing; it doesn't get funnier with bad acting but boring.This would really only get 1/10 from me if it weren't for Sharon Stone's legs which get more and more exposed throughout the story. I can't find any fault with those legs, so 2/10.

witster18 No excuse can erase the travesty that is King Solomon's mines. Spoof. Camp. Fun. HOmage. Whatever! Now, if you're looking for the best post-1985 submission to Mystery Science Theater 3000... then you have yourself a winner.Let me address some of those 'it's funny' good reviews here... There are NO funny lines in this film.... if the creators wanted it to be funny they would have used some lines that WERE actually funny... no, I don't get a kick out of watching terrible site gags with wires, fake backdrops, fake everything and dull, forgettable, anything but funny performances.... NOW IF THAT's your bag baby...by all means rent this one. If I want that I'll watch a comedy....and if I want 'campy' comedy I'll watch 'army of darkness' or something that has A.Comedy...and B. a little of something else to offer... Admittedly, this film does 'appear' that it tried to achieve the 'worst movie of all-time status' that I'm granting it... BUT THAT DOES NOT make this viewer want to watch it... THere's a REASON the networks NEVER replay this one.... NEVER.... it would be a broadcasting death sentence.King Solomon's is terrible. HOnestly, this is right there with Ishtar, Leonard Pt.6, and Pluto Nash as the worst high profile film ever made. I figured I'd write one review on 'my worst theater experience ever'... this is the choice.... We walked into the adjacent theater and watched the end of Rocky 4.... I could have killed my parents for making me sit through 3/4 of this film. I did revisit this about ten years later to confirm my opinion, and I must say, my opinion has not changed. The.....Worst.....EVER! If Indiana Jones sold out their rights and they made 12 MORE sequels with no-names(that nobody rented).... this would be the equivalent of 16th installment, probably starring some washed up wwe wrestler and Shaq. You can always notice the truly terrible films...the one's with bad numbers(here on IMDb) and a bunch of 1/13 'thought this comment was useful' votes from the 'OBSESSED IDIOTS'. There will obviously be a 'cult' following when you're talking about one of the 'worst ever'.10/100

Aaron1375 While this movie is not as good as the first Indy movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or the third, "Last Crusade" it compares rather favorably to "Temple of Doom" and "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It mainly can compete with those two movies as it has a very fast moving story and for a low budget picture they sure do get a lot of places. The story follows Allan Quartermane and this girl who I don't recall her name played by Sharon Stone as they go on a quest for the lost diamond mines of King Solomon. They have to fight their way there through hordes of bad guys, have a train ride, have a couple of chase scenes and get caught by cannibals and nearly get cooked. Then they have to get through the mines guarded by a very annoying witch lady, in fact the movie would have been better had she never entered the movie, yes she is that annoying. Still, for a low budget movie that I am sure was trying to capitalize on the success of the Indy films this movie was rather good, much better than the very boring sequel.
