    Pretty good film and you can see Lucas probably had lots of inspiration from Haggard's tale when writing Indiana Jones (Ironic since Doody is in this, like in Raider's of the Last Ark). I am going to read the book on a flight tomorrow so I can't say how it compares. The movie ...( read more)could have been shortened considerably though if a lot of the unnecessary desert scenes were cut out- they got tedious quite a ways through and was tempting to fast forward. The real shame, though, is the ending is so brief and you don't get a feel for the characters development. I would recommend watching as a lazy Sunday movie, but due to length, I will probably not watch again.

    Maybe.. but I'm still a little partial to Harrison ford in the hat?! Probably a good movie.. the star makes it worth a try.

    Enjoyable remake based on the TV movie of H. Rider Haggard's tale. I liked seeing an older Patrick Swayze as the hero. He was very believable as the hunter Allan Quartermain and certainly bested the performance of Richard Chamberlain. And Alison Doody is attractive as Elizabeth M...( read more)aitland, who hires Quatermain to help rescue her father. The rest of the cast were terrific and followed the plotlines very well. I am glad to see that the actors of this generation are not afraid to try on different characters and are not afraid to be seen as getting older.
