what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This was actually much better than the first movie, but I suspect that it had something to do with a director who has a awful lot of experience. In fact this is actually one of the better pieces that Frakes has directed since most of his stuff tends to be very touchy feely mushy mushy Star Trek features (he played my least favourite character on Next Generation, being Commander Ryker – which isn't saying much because I am so not into Star Trek).Anyway, this is set a year after the first film, and suddenly the characters actually have a bit more of a life in them. As I said, maybe it has something to do with a better director behind the helm. In this one Flynn goes off in search of King Solomon's mines, but it is also a search for finding out what happened to his father. It turns out that his father died when he was young, and all he has left is a medallion and a bunch of drawings. Along the way he meets up with an archaeologist (female of course) who actually has more degrees than he does.I actually like the female character in this film much better than in the first film. Firstly she had a proper name (as opposed to Nicole No one, which simply made be groan with frustration) and the fact that they were both academics made the characters work much better together. Also look for the tribute to Cassablanca near the end.

I love the other two The Librarian movies, they are a lot of fun and I love this movie too, at least as much of it as I could understand. For some unknown reason there are only Spanish subtitles (in Canada?) but no English Subtitles or English Closed Captions for this movie although the other two have English text for those of us who are hard of hearing. I'm one of them. And sadly there are whole conversations and scenes where I may be able to understand what one person is saying but the other person's lines are completely unintelligible, usually Gabrielle Anwar's lines but sometimes Noah Wyle's are too. Occasionally I have no idea what either of them has said and I don't read lips well enough to figure it out either. I'm not that deaf, only about a 50% loss in one ear and the other ear is fine but I do find that often in newer films people speak a lot more quickly than they used to speak and often their enunciation is sadly lacking. They've forgotten about speaking at a 'listening pace' and sadly this movie has that problem more so than the other two. Even repeated viewings have not helped nor has increasing the volume until it becomes almost uncomfortably loud. Please, someone, re-issue this movie with English CC or Subtitles. Please! We have searched in vain to find another release with CC in English in DVD or Blu Ray but have not been able to find one.We both like these movies enough to buy another copy of this one if it had CC in English.

After retrieving the Crystal Skull in Utah, Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) receives a map by mail with the secret location of King Solomon's Mines. When the scroll is stolen, Judson explains the power of the Key of Salomon's book and assigns Flynn to retrieve the map that is useless without the legend piece to decipher it, which is located in Volubilis near the Roman ruins in Morocco. Flynn heads to Casablanca to the ruins where he is chased by a group of mercenaries leaded by General Samir (Erick Avari) that also wants to find the location of King Solomon's mines. Flynn teams-up with Professor Emily Davenport (Gabrielle Anwar) that is working in the dig and they escape from General Samir and his men. While traveling to Gedi, they save the local Jomo (Hakeem Kae- Kazim) from death and the trio faces a dangerous journey through the wild Africa. "The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines" is another exciting adventure of Flynn Carsen in the style of Indiana Jones. The story is very funny and entertaining and presents references and a wonderful homage to the classic "Casablanca". The charming and gorgeous Gabrielle Anwar shows a wonderful chemistry with Noah Wyle and they form a pleasant lead couple. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Guardião: Retorno às Minas do Rei Salomão" ("The Guardian: Return to King Solomon's Mines")

I've always like this kind of "adventure movie", so one Sunday afternoon with nothing to do would be best spent to watch one of this. The action and the plot start with a bang, more like James Bond type of beginning. As usual, the heroes escape without a scratch. As in the case with other "adventure movies", this one is also searching for something as you can see from the title. Whether it is real or not is something else. Also one thing which I've always wondering when watching this kind of movies. Why is it the hero always looking for something and get it. The instruction is very clear, nobody must find the key.... Well,.. simple solution,... why not just destroy the key if that is the case... This is the logic which I can not really understand when somebody is making this kind of movies. All is all if you like sight seeing in middle east, this one give you a lot of that, desert, savanna, a lot sands.... and of course Gabrielle Anwar to spice up the movie. Overall, it is a good enjoyable movie to spend the afternoon if you have nothing else important to do.
