Indiana Jones snogs Sharon Stone
By a customer from Cardiff, Wales , 09 Jun 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Fast-moving, explosive adventure story with a slight connection to the Henry Rider Haggard classic of the same name. There are some enjoyable and memorable sequences, such as our heroine's fall from a carpet into a vegetable cart, the fight on the train, the battle in the air, the lion studying human courtship, Sharon losing most of her shorts in the soup and the essential giant spider. Herbert Lom plays an enjoyable villain, Richard Chamberlain is an acceptable Allan Quatermain, and Sharon Stone a convincing and lively heroine. Of course everything ends with a bang. No classic, but good mid-week viewing.- Was this review helpful to you?

(9)Vintage Adventure Movie
By a customer from Cardiff , 12 Jan 2009A delightful watch if your planning an hour and a halfs worth of escape from the constraints of reality to plunge into a treasure- obsessed action/ adventure movie. King Solomon's Mines has a hands-on approach to the special effects and set design rendering it laughable at times but makes the movie more wholesome and relevant within its 1980's context. The immature special effects don't drown out the plot and acting which you find in most modern movies today. However, the plot posesses the predicable story structure of an Indiana Jones-esque treasure seeking quest, superficial love affairs and slapstick fight scenes.
Overall, its Eighties edge, lack of political correctness and presence of a fresh faced Sharon Stone make it worth a watch but is not for one who wishes to cast a critical eye or view it for its complexities as they will be disappointed.- Was this review helpful to you?
