Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Desertman84 The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice is the last film of the three films of The Librarian franchise. It stars Noah Wyle as Flynn Carsen,the former perpetual college student who now works as a librarian that protects a secret collection of artifacts such as that from the likes of Vlad Dracula and his vampire hordes.Bob Newhart,Jane Curtin,Stana Katic and Bruce Davison co-stars.In this TV movie,Flynn Carson is on a mission to recover the historic Judas Chalice when a French beauty Simone rescues him from dying.Unknowingly,Simone is into something deviant and evil behind her charm and beauty.Also,Flynn goes into New Orleans and tries to search the rumored remains of Prince Vlad Dracul wherein evil people intends to bring him back to life.This is probably the best of the three films.It is funny,enjoyable and entertaining.Also,it was less cheesy and provided some realism into the story.We also have great performances from the cast.Worthy of mention is Bob Newheart who was nominated for an Emmy.What's also interesting is the fact that we have seen the complete transformation of Flynn Carsen from being a perpetual student to a worthy librarian that will go against the evildoers and risk his life for the protection of the memorable artifacts.Overall,this great TV sequel is probably one good reason why The Librarian is now an on-going TV series.

Joel Mabus You take 3 parts Indiana Jones, 2 parts Harry Potter. For a leading man, star a young TV veteran from a hit melodrama of the last decade. In each installment cast an affordable exotic beauty in her late 30's. For a villain, cast a recognizable but unnameable TV actor from the last century. Leaven with 2 aging but able sitcom stars of the 1980's. Cook with just enough sex and violence to pass basic cable standards, but no bad language, so reruns can occur on broadcast TV on weekend afternoons when there is no sports game.As I write, this, the third installment of the Librarian, is up in a 6 hour marathon of the trilogy on a Turner station. It is not bad for a lazy Sunday afternoon, if you have other things to do indoors to distract you.As many have already noticed, it is a blatant riff or rip-off of the Indiana Jones franchise, except set in today's world. Noah Wylie wears Indy clothes and works for a "library" that is much like Indy's museum. Except the Library has not only a collection of fantasy icons from the past (from the bible to King Arthur to Grimm tales) but also wizard-like magic straight from Harry Potter. Noah is sent on a major quest in each episode, with magic-wielding villains to overcome and a sexy babe as his companion.This third one is the darkest, I suppose, what with vampires in New Orleans (where did they come up with that, I wonder?) and Russian mafia types. Unlike Spielberg and his big-time budget, the special effects here are pretty cheesy computer graphics. The smaller the screen, the better they look.I read that a basic cable series (hour-long format) is in the works for The Librarian franchise. Noah Wylie makes an appearance here and there. But younger actors do the heavy lifting, and apparently John Larroquette takes over the aging sitcom star duties.Having said all that, it isn't all that bad, as long as you aren't after real thrills, real drama, or real comedy. It is passable eye-candy and decent time-filler for shut-ins on a rainy day. Nothing too gory or scary for youngsters beyond the first grade. And nothing too sexy to embarrass your grandma who may be baby-sitting. Just clever enough and good-looking enough to keep from reaching for the remote.In short -- just what the TNT production committee ordered!

Charles Herold (cherold) I saw the original Librarian movie when it came out and I think I liked it (that was a long time ago). I never knew there were any sequels until recently, when I was searching for adventure movies. This one is really fun, and a vast improvement over the second movie. It's got a nice Indiana Jones vibe, it's well paced and it's got just a little New Orleans color to it. Like in the second movie, the Librarian is unhappy and mopey, but whereas that second movie let the whole emotional-journey thing swamp the fun, this time it's just a nice setup for a light, fun little romp. The plot holds together well, the lead girl is good, there's a fun scene in a barbershop with Bob Newhart, and it's got vampires. What more could you want? I hope they make a forth one of these sometime.

ctomvelu-1 Flynn is burned out and takes some time off in New Orleans. He's not there an hour before he's caught up in a bizarre plot by an ex-KGB agent to revive Dracula (yes, Dracula) and raise an army of the undead. To do so, the agent needs to find a chalice made from the 30 pieces of silver given to Judas, hence the Judas Chalice. Along the way, Flynn meets a sexy singer who ably aids him in his battle with the Russian. Noah Wylie's Flynn is much more assured than in his first two outings, but he's still somewhat naive. Jane Curtin and Bob Newhart are back as Flynn's bosses at the magical library, and Curtin's role has been beefed up a bit. In fact, it is she who suggests the vacation. Bruce Davison has a meaty role as a befuddled scientist pressed into service by the Russian. A recent Bond girl, the very lovely Stana Katic, plays Flynn's exotic, ass-kicking love interest. In fact, the movie starts off with a James Bond gag and there are nods to (some might even say swipes from) other movies, including HARRY POTTER, Dracula 2000, BLADE and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. This special effects. photography and music are all first rate, and the jokes come just often enough. And wait until you see the revived Dracula. You may be surprised. Because of the nature of the plot -- the undead and bloodsucking -- I'd say keep the little ones away.
