    Flynn has become a little more accustomed to the action lifestyle. In the opening scene, he is out in the American West playing the Lone Ranger and Tonto. He's trying to escape from another evil organization that has discovered a crystal skull (two years before Indiana Jones so...( read more)ught the same mythical artifact). He returns to the Library and has a fight with Excalibur, a sword that floats around and has a mind of it's own. And evidently Nicole has left. Well at a birthday party Flynn's mother has planned for him, the filmmakers try to show a bit more of his family background. An uncle character who has traveled all over the world is introduced, and Flynn talks quite a bit about how he really didn't know his father very well. Eventually he's off to Africa like Allan Quatermain, on another adventure to help protect the secret of King Solomon's mines (of course another biblical archeological quest). At the excavation site Flynn meets Emily, who is a scholar like him but has him beat on the number of college degrees she has obtained. So this time instead of brain and muscle working together, it is brain and brain through much of the adventure. The special effects are even more outrageously bad, the jokes are still not very smart, the romance element doesn't really have chemistry, and the plot is way too predictable. Still with Jonathan Frakes directing this one I guess it was a little better than the first.

    If you don't take it too seriously you'll really enjoy this. Noah Wyle returns as the Librarian Flynn. This time he sets out to find King Solomon's Mine together with the help of fellow "nerd" Emily Davenport (Gabrielle Anwar). I found a lot of similarities to Indiana Jones as we...( read more)ll as The Mummy is this film. But it did not ruin the Librarian 2 for me at all. It's still different enough to stand alone. I think the character Flynn makes this movie. He is an interesting and well written character who really entertains. Flynn creates some nice laughs. Overall The Librarian 2 has enough action, adventure and twists to keep you interested. Basically if you liked the first one, you'll like this one.

    Okay, for a cheesy made-for-SciFi Indiana Jones ripoff, this is actually fairly entertaining. But that's all I'll give it.

    I think I have a little more respect for it since it actually acknowledges its roots...but yeah, this film is surprisingly hard to dislike, considering I s...( read more)tarted it ready to rip it a new one. Pop it in the DVD player with a few friends and some popcorn and revel in the cheesiness.

    not as good as the original as the librarian has taken up being the action hero as well. they did add the love interest and back story which gave the story some life,
